A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options from companies like AWS and Azure.

Bucha Bull to me.

That's like an EU member purchasing the F-35 under Krasnov. Yep, fuck that shit.

Perfect! And after that we can rent our phones from the cloud too. Maybe our electric cars after that?

...and how should I access this cloud compute? Stick my fingers into a network socket and wiggle them?

I have a linuxbox with decent hardware that i can squeeze 4 years out of still, a steamdeck, and steamframes soon. I'll be good for quite a while, long enough to ride out the AI-slop bubble.

Yes rent a computer from the cloud, while your Internet is capped at a terrabyte

Weird. You would think that the “genius” would know that the very AI and Quantum computing his organization and other Billionaires are building out, is going to undermine anything of value that is Centralized. Really proof his genius is how to exploit others and not really the reality we are finding ourselves in. I am LOL inside as the shift back to decentralized services will be a bloodbath for Centralized anything.
