Nvidia launches PC chip to bring AI directly to personal computers

1. Well, sure. They want to offload the work to YOUR PC, e.g. YOUR electrical bill

I don't think these will be any such revolution because there's not that much benefit to a consumer. Even the BS AI you get in "Google Answers" will still be capable of way more than what you can do running an LLM locally, even with one of these gadgets. Also, people already HAVE this ability. It's called a GPU, or graphics card. I have Ollama running on my GPU right now, locally, unconnected to the internet.

If they put these in people's computers, I'd guess they'll afterwards tell you that what you REALLY should use them for is as part of an "AI Net", so that your computer can be leveraged as just part of one big answer machine, rather than really being a local copy that's just for your use. The AI companies will offer you small discounts in your subscription if you use them this way, that type of thing.

Nothing would be better for their business model that getting people to make their own homes and PC's an actual part of the AI network. Distributed data centers, that the CONSUMER pays the bills on.
