Nvidia launched the RTX Spark chip in Taiwan, bringing AI capabilities directly into laptops and desktops. The chip, developed with Microsoft, is aimed at transforming how users interact with AI by running agents locally rather than through the cloud.

Aiie, it's AI. 😁

I’m not technically competent enough to have a firm opinion, but my initial reaction is that running the AI locally rather than in the cloud could alleviate some privacy concerns.
Assuming, of course, that a firewall can be built in.
But at least initially, Microsoft, Apple, or whomever won’t need to capture every keystroke.
The next question is where things are stored and what happens when an update is scheduled or one troubleshoots a problem and has to run diagnostics.
Do you want Skynet? because this is how you get Skynet.
(not you personally)
Now you’ll be able to make AI porn at home. I’m sure the kiddy diddlers will be thrilled.
Or if people —->> choose <<—— to have their own model locally they can have the benefits decentralized and not require the whole country be tetooled to serve central AI. That would be actually good and so I don’t expect it.
Knowing globalists and Microsoft I would expect they’ll try and remove choice and install perpetual monitoring and reporting to a central hub. For the children. And the betterment of the product. (Both “children “ and “product” means you and me.)
Glad I put up a fresh Linux install last week.
You know where they can STICK their AI
Everybody jumped on the AI bandwagon with both feet. Besides the problem you stated, localizing AI just might pop the DOTCOM AI Data Center bubble.
When Apple professional digital audio workstations became the industry standard, all that enormous, stupidly expensive analog audio recording equipment became obsolete. The same thing might happen to giant AI data centers.
Nvidia is working in collaboration with Microslop.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Linux is looking better all the time.
Those Data Centers will make for good homeless shelters.
You watched that Rick Beato video, too.
Only thing I’m waiting for is the release of their new ARM CPU.
AI at ‘the edge’ on every device and in every home via AI Agents...up until now, it was about building out the AI infrastructure in the cloud; this is just the next swim lane to be added.
I wonder if any of the AI Agents are named ‘Agent Smith’, a.k.a. ‘The Matrix’, lol
I’m joking, but not really - for transparency’s sake and for what it’s worth, I spent 17 years with Microsoft myself...been in tech my whole career.
This is not just an evolutionary step, or even an order of magnitude leap, this is a civilizational reset.
And electrical grid limits.

Ironically, AI is emerging as the biggest enemy of DEI.
