The tech giants are building gods in data centers, forgetting that gods have never been easy to control... and in a simulated universe, they might just rewrite the rules of the game.

Be careful what you attempt to summon.

One of the best ways to avoid encouraging more data centers is to use LOCAL AI.

That means running your own workstation, using open source models like Qwen 3.6 27B (or others), and having your own local GPUs.

Sadly, NVIDIA keeps raising prices on consumer-level GPUs while funneling its efforts into data center customers.

But MOST of my AI usage is local, which means I'm using my own power and NOT encouraging data centers to crop up everywhere.

Now if I could just get DeepSeek V4 Flash to run locally, I would do that too!
