You're not the only one, I've been with quite a few startups and before that I worked with VC's to help get new portfolio companies rolling with IT. Never have a seen it, I've only heard of it.
There's a big difference between the ideal democracy and the bastardization of a democratic process we have in America, much like how Marx's vision of communism is hugely different from any actual communist implementation. I personally don't believe that any one governing/socioeconomic system taken in a vacuum is the right answer, they all seem to rely on humans being fundamentally good-natured but it just isn't true for much of the humans attracted to positions of power.
It's a shame you're getting down voted, seemingly just for admitting on the Internet that you used to be a cop and not on the merits of your comment. Regardless of the sentiment people feel towards the police, it doesn't change the fact that exceedingly few people would actually confront someone in real life like that, whether they are a cop, a healthcare CEO, or an AI bro.
Such people willing to make conflict in real life do exist, but they're few and far between. This is a well-studied phenomenon...
Never-slop-cop reminds me of Axe Cop!

There are some things "AI" isn't fit to answer, like questions with nuance. And a "prompt" in itself isn't a quantifiable unit. I can tell you that my gaming rig with 96 GB of RAM and an RTX 2080 could only run a quantized model -- the model weights will eat up my RAM and keep my system drinking electricity. My CPU could handle it like a champ but let's be real, all of that is to get a crappy-performance model doing work.
I could believe that, like, a full day of heavy agent work consumed that much power running the agentic workload on my device, but there's no way that number is accounting for the power consumed in hosted model inference, let alone training.
My drip coffee maker is a Technivoorm Moccamaster. It's been my main coffee maker for a solid decade and it's showing no signs of slowing down. I wouldn't be surprised if it lived through the next decade. They're pricey upfront, but I'm convinced that it's paid for itself with itself with its longevity. Not to mention great coffee.
I think that's stretching the definition of "gift" a bit far, no? A gift doesn't come with strings attached (even if unenforceable).
Not that I care, but there's a funny contradiction here. You don't consider Unihertz a trustworthy brand, but you do (or did) consider Ulefone a trustworthy brand? Even a cursory, 30-second search for Ulefone doesn't find anything good to say about them aside for the novel hardware. Did they have a better reputation at the time?
Nay. This proposal is moderation overreach. I'm down for rules to keep discussion relatively civil and in good faith, broadly, but it's odd to ask a bunch of not-scientists moderators to determine the scientific validity of discussion on a topic. As long as discussion is being had in good faith things will work themselves out.
Not that it matters or anyone cares, but just so you know the expression is "champing" at the bit. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/champing
I've encountered these in the wild and my office has them installed. They're distributed with SIM cards installed, they don't join the WiFi. Fun fact
