i could setup a local llm that’s nearly frontier level if i wanted to. i doubt i’ll ever need to though since tokens are becoming so cheap. although i am well off, i am not wealthy. and i only foresee this becoming more affordable in the future. may be i am wrong but imo an era when capital is less important is already here for the purposes of what i described.
my point was that for anyone who wanted to make software they couldn’t due to lack of free time or funds, they likely can give that a go now.
