Here is a quick overview of what is discussed above.
If LLMs are so awesome, why couldn’t the person who posted that use an LLM to write a similarly persuasive text post rather than a video.

It’s been great for devs leaking AI tokens that someone else is paying for! 
Cui bono?

@WillAdams I could have easily used AI to summarize the video but what fun is that when everyone can do that now! 
What I was trying to point out is that AI is no longer just a chatbot run by big corporations. It is now actually a useful tool that can be run locally and the users are taking control. (no AI was used for my response unless predictive typing is classified as AI!)
The thing is, video production speaks to a relative valuation of time — it’s one-to-many, and assumes that the time of the one is sufficiently valuable enough that that of the many spent in watching it is acceptable.
Yes, running an LLM locally is a good idea, and makes for a much better proposition/usage — for folks working on projects where that is a workable option — for example at my day job I need to process large quantities of scans of invoices w/ the matching check (w/ the MICR line obscured by a pen, so no PII), I haven’t found a local LLM which will process them in batchs (if someone knows of one, I’d be glad to learn of it).
It is my belief that everyone should be able to watch the video and come to their own conclusions.
We have all seen that people with the best intentions inadvertently cause an uproar by just stating what they believed to be a summary interpretation of a video. More importantly, a lot of people take a lot of weight by who’s actually presenting the video.
I appreciate your input and going forward create a quick summary for those people who do not wish to watch.
I find the AI encroachment into and takeover of certain sectors amazing and incredibly interesting.
I think back and AI (machine learning) in technology has been going on for decades. The difference is big corporations using expensive or super computers in the past to now individuals accessing moderately prices server clusters for a nominal cost or even personal computers for smaller models.
A danger is the data and information manipulation that is rampant in the AI LLM’s as seen in social engineering attempts and swaying for national interests revealed in multiple Congressional inquiries. Critical thinking and a good dose of skepticism is really needed when using some of these tools but AI is not going away now that the genie has been let loose.
I personally am not ready to hand over all my life to AI but I see where it is going. AI image generation is now a solid tool in my design work.
