The "Talking to God" Problem

When you ask Alexa to turn on the lights, your voice travels 3,000 miles to a server, gets processed, and travels 3,000 miles back.

That is insane.

Why are we sending lightswitch commands across the continent?

I built a Local Brain. A Mac Studio running Llama 3. It lives in my closet. It knows everything about my house. And it talks back instantly.

The Privacy Panic

Here is the other thing: Data Mining.

Amazon knows when you go to sleep (because you tell Alexa "Goodnight"). They know when you leave. They know what music you like.

When you run Local, you are invisible.

The Cloud is great for backup. It is terrible for living.
