Megacorps don't burn resources for the shake of it. They do it to train/run LLMS.
If all that running/training is done by the individual instead, the individual is going to be the one burning the resources.
In fact, it would probably be more resource intensive.
Since centralization and scale usually improves efficiency.
Most people don't have computer hardware that was built with the sole purpose of training/running LLMs. LLM data centers do. Purpose-built hardware is more efficient than generic hardware.
