Never built a pc before, thinking to build one for potentially run some local model mostly just for brainstorming with obliterated models and using them to instruct other open weights to help me code certain features/ reverse engineering things. I don’t mind getting a mac mini but I would rather get the PC instead if it doubles as a gaming PC for my rare gaming days…not heavy on gaming Any good resources to start understanding what’d work the best for this situation? Thought of asking it here before i check w opus 5.5 Context : I live in canada, can spend about 2k cad, if it goes more then that, i would wanna see the ROI for max 3k-3.5k

@Mike Doolittle @Luke Brinton this is awesome. Thanks for sharing

Any official benchmarks yet? If its even remotely closer to opus 5.5 let alone fable… I’m cancelling my claude

@Luke Brinton I think you mentioned in one of your earlier videos, or I probably saw it somewhere else, that it just might be a part of that AI bubble when it bursts: companies that are borrowing money to buy GPUs and RAM and lending those RAMs to AI companies. The money they took to buy those in the first place, they put the RAM as collateral. Once local models get so crazy cheap and you can easily run them anywhere on any kind of device, and then they give you good enough results, this could be potentially true in the future: you don't really need as much RAM and computation. I think companies like even ChatGPT, I know they're evil as hell, so they might even be planning something like this. They're just waiting for this part of the AI bubble to burst, and then they could just buy those collaterals for really cheap and then just have dominance.

@Luke Brinton atp it's almost like electricity: it has reached that stage where people are finding its potential and building things upon it. For example, with electricity, no one knew that you'd get televisions in the future or these data centers that we have rn. But I'm curious to think of what looks like the future, because software would no longer be a commodity. You'd potentially have something hooked into your Meta glasses that you wanted to book a flight. It would just create a UI for itself, and then you can just go from there. You don't ever have to open any app. You just tell it what you want to see, what you want to do, and it had that full UI built right there. It wouldn't even take more than a second. That's how I think that would look, but then that's something I can think of. What part of my thinking kind of lags, as in, thinking of a different perspective that I could look at and better have an idea of the future? If I ever plan to build something, I don't build some AI slop that people would just write code in a day and have that same thing open-sourced (because I know that'd be it for a lot of the things happening). In these upcoming months, I saw someone posting about their game on Twitter, and then the next day someone had it on fucking Roblox, cloned almost one-to-one. Let me know what you think of it and what building solutions for the future look like. I can definitely think of helping companies and people who are in their 40s understand AI, use those local models, and prove that ROI of investing in AI. I know my company spent almost $1 million, a bit more than that, on our copilot and other licenses, but then I have people in my team that barely use it. They still have as much use as myself, so I just end up sending them my tasks that can just run on their computer for hours. I just get the results back, and I'll have my copilot, with probably Sonnet, audit the results and then just do minor tweaks, and then I'll have my things ready.

Realizing how slow they’d be on my 5 yo 8gig ram laptop and how I can’t install it on my 32 gig ram work computer 😔🥀

@Luke Brinton immm lari man, if i end up making a twin to corona. You got my back right?

I am well versed in Telegram bots and those API connections, but I've never used Hermes at all. I've heard about it for a couple of things. I couldn't get into that iOS test beta either, but I'd love to try Hermes because I'm using Muse for a couple of things, and it works fine. If there's a way that my data doesn't go to Mr. Zuckerberg, it'd be even better, like cake on top of a cherry, right? Let me know if there is something you guys know I could get started with. I'd love to start with something that doesn't cost me much, and then, if I see the ROI, I can potentially hook a cheap model like Sonic 5.5 up, or potentially even something that I can run that doesn't increase my AI bill.
