Dude is like “Buy a Mac Mini specifically for running local models. And also pay $200/mo for hosted models” but shows zero understanding of this.
While saying “Don’t worry about understanding things”!
Is this satire?
Edit: Also he keeps saying 799, but that’s: 599 one-time purchase of hardware + 200/month subscription. Those are two different kinds of payments. Why would you add them?
I think it’s satire? I can’t fucking tell anymore. I’m tired, boss.
I think you’re inferring some sort of intense or serious/angry tone to my comments that I did not intend.
I just thought it was funny that this particular AI hype post promotes a way of coding based on vibes rather than understanding, and the way they came up with this very specific recommendation seems to be based on vibes rather than understanding.
(Nothing funnier than leaving two follow-ups explaining exactly what I found funny about it, I know. Also, FWIW, I haven’t downvoted you, in case you’re thinking this is supposed to be a flame war.)
Edit: Nevermind, I checked out your post history and realized I have been trolled. Well, gg.
Uhhhhhhh
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Claude is not local AI though?!?!

At no point does this article describe running Claude locally
Judging by your comment it sounds like you may need to chill the fuck out
I do need to chill the fuck out, but that’s beside the point.
The post’s thesis is “buy a Mac Mini and a Claude subscription because that’s the future”, and the supporting evidence includes:
This example is probably the closest to “Mac Mini running AI plus using Claude”, but the Minis are a prod cluster, not a dev machine, so not exactly.
And the rest…
I understand the broader point of “get on AI ASAP”, but it seems like the extent of the Mac Mini recommendation is “I heard it was good for AI”.
Which… it is, if you’re running locally. But if you’re not, then there’s no reason to switch away from your used Thinkpad running Linux.
And if you are running locally, the Claude subscription may be irrelevant. So why advocate for both in conjunction?
Maybe you need to touch some grass? This is waaaaay too much about some blog post that doesn’t matter
Feel better
