The shared content argues that open-source AI remains important. Even if many people today can't afford or find cheap enough hardware to run models locally, it doesn't mean open source lacks value. The reasoning is that this pessimism assumes two things won't change: models won't become more hardware-efficient, and the supply of cheaper hardware won't increase.
