I like LLMs and also the research but I think we're at a point where one could make a pause, turn the models into silicone and sell them as hardware for people who are actually interested.
That would solve all privacy problems, eliminate many data centers, subscription fees, internet dependencies and allow for slower and more thoughtful upgrades (hardware isn't updated as often as software). That would be a pretty sovereign solution.
However, from a company perspective they can't force it on everyone anymore, don't get all the juicy data from all the users and can't sell subscriptions any more and change everything on their side.
The models are data, and silicone is rubber. So... I don't know what you're proposing here.
That would be lovely
