    Looks at a local laptop project. "Local Ai" as a feature.
    😭

    Well that and it being a prepper laptop project.

    I kinda want more projects for the commons. Communal meshes, repair cafes in each village. Mutual Aid. A more circular economy to help to reduce waste.

    Sharing knowledge and stories.

    itinerant repair men wandering from village to village like some of the mobile alcohol still guys do in France.

    Give me community, not bunker prepping. I'm so tired of libertarian values in tech.

    I think there's a lot of questions about power and responsibility we need to have.

    Like is some of the bunker mentality coming from a feeling of lack of power and wishing to have it over others?

    I tend to see power as a responsibility, and I absolutely want to share it with others to spread the load.

    I grew up with a Father who shared food with my friends at the drop of a hat. I also grew up around folks who donated their baby clothes to new parents. It's why mutual aid makes sense to me.

    GenAI/LLM seems the opposite of independence or decentralisation, it's outsourcing your thinking to someone else.

    Even if you run the model locally, it's a model made by an enormous centralised corporation with its own political agendas. (And you can't update the model on your own, it requires enormous resources.)
