ok gotta mention again

TechLead, a YouTube channel, just made a other killer video on AI, and it (AI business) routing to China. I don't mean “sneakily” sending things to China, conspiracy, etc. I mean a Chinese food delivery co just manufactured an open source chip capable of highest Nvidia standards (in terms of AI usage) + they (China) are operating AI on a token-based system (like US AI models, of course) for 1/10 the cost.

Headlines on Meta, Tesla, and others capping their own employee's AI use, Microsoft encouraging consumers to start getting localized AI setups (e.g. home PCs outfitted with Nvidia chips. CoPilot, et al.) and not giving info to cloud-based AI services (in other words, if the work that the consumer is having AI do (build a business for example), make sure it stays on a local machine so competition cannot see/steal what's being built.

I was gonna mention this in a previous blog entry – the Linux tower Microsoft released (running Azure Linux) has AI bells and whistles all over, and, if I were MS, I would want this thing to be bought by everyone, because then people can get comfortable with home AI setups, Microsoft (and of course Windows/Azure Linux) would hold (at least) that market, and some of the countless hours (and money) that's gone I to AI/LLMs can at least be salvageable when the AI bubble inevitably pops.
