Yeah, that's the eventual industry goal with "agentic AI". Still, absurd waste of power, water, and arable land in the end; especially since the big wigs aren't even really doing much that's innovative to reduce the draw to any of those. Hell, they'll build a data center in one of the world's hottest deserts on faith they can tap an aquifer. Wild really.

    the AI systems I'm talking about here aren't LLMs. Their power/resource usage is so insignificant that you could literally run them right on your smartphone without having a noticeable impact on battery life.

    I mean valid. I was mostly just supporting you've got a good use case by pointing out the industry is aiming for your ideal utilization. Personally I also agree with you in that a more pared down model usually can be more effective.
