"Now we don't need to hire a founding engineer! Yippee!" I wonder all these people who are building companies that are built on prompts (not even a person) from other companies. The minute there is a rug pull (and there WILL be one), what are you going to do? You'll be in even worse shape because in this case there won't be someone who can help you figure out your next move, there won't be an old team, there will just be NO team. Is this the future?

That's why I stick to what I can run locally. Though for most of my tasks there is no big difference between cloud models and local ones, in half the cases both produce junk but both are good enough for some mechanical transformations and as a reference book.
