Here I was expecting a graphics demo to blow our collective minds but instead I got a story about a local LLM for cheap. It is . I should have known better.

Were I the author / tech cobbler here, I'd be concerned that too much time with an LLM, local or otherwise, might erode or dull my apparently fairly sharp reasoning and tech skills. (Clarification: Not my sharpness, theirs. I'm a potato.)

Other thoughts: For a minute I thought this whole thing was a tribute to, or a troll in the manner of, that one Redditor that always spun their stories around to being about their dad beating them with jumper cables.

Also, my old PC developed an issue like the warm reboot problem, except with the network interface. I couldn't just restart, I had to power off and back on. I never did bother to find out whether it was early signs of hardware failure or whether it was an old hardware / newer kernel mismatch.
