"The earth belongs... to the living... the dead have neither powers nor rights over it. The portion occupied by any generation ceases to be theirs when they themselves cease to be, and reverts to the society of the living. If that society has formed no debts, then the earth remains to them as their own right and not as the patrimony of their predecessors. If it has, then the living must pay the debts of the dead, as they must eat the fruits and labor of the dead, in like manner as they seize the lands of the dead." - Thomas Jefferson

I just found out you can use https://t.co/yV0ZQszeha to outsource GPUs for $1-2 a hour, which has massive break-even prices. So you run local models/systems, then offload the compute for dirt cheap.

@elonmusk @aaronburnett Why does it take 3 months to complete this?

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@MatthewBerman I've heard reviews are mixed.

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@quxiaoyin No serious coder/dev I know uses GLM over Opus. The gap is closing perhaps, but no serious person is going to trust Chinese servers with their IP either.

@bridgemindai Cursor was legit, Kimi 2.5+ was very fast, could be real. Grok now has CLI too.

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@SimonHoiberg I still use VSCode for array input to debug

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@Gamingtronium Massively overhyped. Engineers will pivot and the tools will change, but far far far from obsolete.

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@araseb_ This is how coding worked before as well. Except you argued with yourself, and still do.

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@DeryaTR_ How good is the long form coding?

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@VraserX Seems dishy

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@AlexFinn I have a lot of assets I need to produce, so I'm in sort of the same boat where I need GPU to really run 24/7 for asset production.

@johnennis Why you don't think Foreigners will get access to this? They can just ask someone with a drivers license and a VPN. There is no competitive advantage, and no way to enforce this imho.

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@sama gatekeeping has always failed in innovation. The government rarely, if ever, knows what the free market wants.

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@ThePrimeagen LOL great point. I still push to staging all the time first to smoke test.

Putting AI water use in context

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@TTrimoreau AI doesn't build everything. Just like a hammer itself doesn't build the house.

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@AndrewCurran_ Going to be hard to ban open source for this stuff. It would be a wide internet restriction on stuff. Most hardcore devs would use Tor or something else to acquire models. So I think you are wrong on this imho.

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@TonyLaneNV Puts the man vs bear argument to rest imho.

[Baron Kimble @BaronKimble]

@theojaffee The companies would have to sue, no consumer really, extremely complex. China will compete and everything will go to local in 3-5 years imho for 99% of use cases.
