And yet of all things word processing and spreadsheets are going to the cloud, or even coding.

Not sure big players won't be pushing heavily (as in, not releasing their best models) for the fat subscriptions/data gathering in the cloud, even if I'd much rather see local (as in cloud at home) computing

I understand what you mean. It makes me wonder if there is room for a solution those who want to own their own hardware and data. Almost like other appliances and equipment that initial cost too much for household ownership but maybe having a “brain” in your house will be a luxury appliance for example. As a Crestron system owner I would love to plugin Jarvis to my smart home somehow.

I'm thinking I will open source mine for people who have GPUs but possibly try making a paid service for people who don't.

Maybe it can be a hardware with markup and support and consulting model. That way there could be many competitors in various regions or different countries and we all use the same collection of open source tools. That would be pretty neat. Unlikely I guess but still worth thinking about how it could work.

Those things are going to the cloud for completely unrelated reasons
