| I don’t think OP’s point has anything to do with AI companions. The big benefit of moving compute to edge devices is to distribute the inference load on the grid. Powering and cooling phones is a lot easier than powering and cooling a datacenter |

| What does what they said have anything to do with Her? Local LLMs are better than big corporations owning your data and offering LLMs for a huge cost. |

| ▲ | kennywinker 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I get the local ai thing. I agree it’s probably a good direction. The bit that has to do with the movie “her” is the bit at the end where they are excited about “her”-like companions on our phones. |

| Having Scarlett Johansson's voice might not be so bad or even something less robotic. |

| ▲ | nothinkjustai 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | How do you steal a frequency? | | |
| ▲ | kennywinker 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Do you genuinely think a “frequency” is what makes a human voice recognizable? That’s like using someone’s face in an app and then saying “how can you steal pixels?” | | |
| ▲ | nothinkjustai 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | How can you steal pixels? Or rather, what does “ownership” mean? What does it mean to own light waves? What does it mean to own sound waves? Etc | | |
| ▲ | kennywinker 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | You can’t steal pixels or frequencies. But you can use someone’s image or their voice to sell your product without their permission. You can get all existential about it if you want - I just know that if someone used my face or my voice to shill for a product without my permission i’d be pissed. I’m pretty sure you would be too. | | |
