    The thing I have learned recently attending industry events is that while what you are saying is technically feasible, it’s not as tantalizing as what the AI giants are promising. They are selling an all-in-one solution that was supposed to reduce costs and make skilled work idiot-proof.

    To run a local model, they still need to have at least a few people on staff that know what the hell they’re doing to set it up and maintain it. Not exactly the silver bullet that they were expecting.

      I lost my job years ago to such con-men selling the idea of “outsource your IT to India, they’ll work for only $2 a day!!! Imagine the savings!!!”

      And then their IT infrastructure went to shit. And any of us unemployed IT guys who called them out were labeled as racist for pointing out the people they fired us to outsource to were objectively unqualified.

      Business owners need to wise up and realize every sales pitch they hear is probably a conman lying to get their money.
