We asked @davidpstout (Co-Founder & CEO, webAI) about the advantages of running AI on devices. "There's no free lunch, but there are things cloud players can't do. It's RAM intensive, yes, but by distributing across devices, we can unlock more accuracy and context. But if you're…

Interesting take on the status of young adults as I start preparing for the new university year. The counter-arguments at the end are also interesting. I now need to get back to my toy-box. economist.com/culture/2024/0…

I think wokeness actually peaked in 2020 or 2021 and has been slowly contracting since then. If we're lucky this will be one of those things that dies, as Hemingway put it, "gradually, then suddenly."
