It's not the kind of performance expectations where processor-specific SIMD support really matters (although nice if it's there)
Go's performance goals are to have much faster runtime than any interpreted language and faster build times than most compiled languages. It's a reasonable stance.
It doesn't matter if it's classic search or LLM. They can monetize tracking information as easily as they can sell ads. They'll have fast cheap custom-built assistant models that run on device by default, keeping things profitable. In time they'll likely double-dip again by injecting product placement in results.
Those 192GB aren't unified memory though. 128GB on Mac or 395 can be used by both CPU and GPU. It's the GPU + large memory that opens up fast local LLM inteference.
Yes, true. But if we had the ability to buy that much RAM in the laptop, everyone would be looking in that direction. Until this thing discussed here comes to the market, “we didn’t have computers with unified 128GB RAM either” (except of macs).
The Internet brought obvious benefits to everyone. New ways to communicate, associate and do business. It was a tool of collective empowerment. It promised a more equal, dynamic society. The promises of AI are much less constructive. I can see the power being immediately funneled to the top of the pyramid while everyone else sucks it up. It's not a future I want invest in or take part of.
