Oooo. Hopefully, this will enable us to use Web Assembly and Web GPU to do local LLM stuff in the browser.

    😑 Jumping immediately to the AI stuff.

    But it would be good to offload it from data centers, sure.

    Local ML models can do a lot of good stuff like TTS, document categorization, IPCam facial recognition, image/video caption, etc., all without sending your data to big tech, and they use less power than active AAA gaming.

    We hate AI because the big tech tries to unconsensually insert it into our lives, use our personal data, and destroy city grid to train extra large models.

    You are correct, I withdraw my disdain in this case. Very good points. I have been hammered with AI shit for too long and I almost forgot the good applications of it.

    Thanks buddy! ❤️
