"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's kind of sily. You need some local hardware to run that virtual desktop environment, handle grapics and streaming. That means it's powerful enough to run a browser and some basic apps locally, what covers most of what people need. If you do need a virtual desktop for the few things not covered by a basic browser, you probably pay a lot for the privelege. Then you get people living in a region with bad internet, like rural places, who'll get fed up with laggy performance in no time.
