Can someone explain to mr why these people are buying Mac Minis to run this in a "safe" environment and then they go on and connect it to the internet and give the AI credentials to all their cloud accounts? This seems excessively moronic to me? Am I missing something?
No, you're not missing anything.
They're morons.
Thats our ruling elite; a bunch of fucking morons with egos and low self awareness at best, literally child raping and murdering pedophiles at worst.
They are slaves to trends and haven't thought about it even a little bit?
For AI, it's because they're the cheapest way to hook up tons of memory to a GPU.
I don't think you're missing anything. I'm pretty sure this is the trend. People buy Mac Minis, probably don't even download a local model, FA, and FO.
They are buying the Mac Minis since they are a cheap way to run a server where this would work. They aren't create a safe environment for AI, but an access point on local hardware.
"cheap"
Cheap for the kind of hardware you need to run an AI.
