I doubt it, or if it happens it will be more like 20 years, and it will not be represented as a "personal AI datacenter", but it will have a much more concrete / application oriented use case.
@gabriel we don't even have a normal "cloud" server like this but it would be possible, largely because dealing with NAT is so hard to leap over
@cjd @gabriel in the near term it might be outlawed as (covertly) a panicked measure to keep the AI bubble from popping, with the obvious datacenter overproduction revealed as useless production, and as (overtly) a public security measure against
a. teens persuading themselves to commit suicide
b. AI-powered terrorism, fraud, and other crime
c. violating DMCA and other IP restrictions, particularly against decompiling binary blobs in general after we've finally run out of open source vulns to exploit
d. boomers actually giving the box "every single piece of information about you and your family", permitting that to be stolen

@gabriel horseshit, people can't even use a thermostat without it connecting to 20 cloud apps
@7666 @gabriel when i was a kid i'd be fascinated by the idea of robots, and i'd borrow all sorts of books from the school library about them
they all predicted how in the near future personal service robots would be as common in households as computers
this being a school library, these were old books. i never checked the dates on the books, but many of them described the HERO 1 as cutting-edge technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HERO_(robot)
anyway, that screenshot reads like some of the stuff i read in those books, but with bigger words and more poorly thought through concepts

Don't think it will be outlawed, I just don't think it will be useful enough for consumers to buy them.
Everybody uses ChatGPT because it's free. If they're a business then they pay for more GPT tokens.
Before (almost) anyone had a computer at home, they were in every office. No offices are currently buying AI boxes, they're outsourcing to AI cloud companies. Why should consumers be different?

IPv6 fixes this, someday
@gabriel I'm in japan, home of the NATed ipv6
@theorytoe
That wasn't enough, now there's 8
@sun
@gabriel @theorytoe when are we taking ip to 11
@lolitechengineer @gabriel you don't ask why things are the way they are in japan
@sun @gabriel I use NAT-ed IPv6 in my home. It's very convenient.
Renumbering is supposed to be pain-free in IPv6 because everyone was conditioned to have a multitude of addresses on every interface to begin with. But reality is not quite what they imagined. I don't even want to rifle through my forward and reverse DNS zones when the provider changes addresses.

@lolitechengineer @sun @gabriel NAT is a security feature
