We can’t buy affordable memory for Fortnite but everyone is running Mythos locally? Is this the year of Linux on the desktop too?

I think they meant more "every country can host it", as opposed to "every human hosts it at home".

I'll take what I can get.

If models leak and the AI bubble implodes, memory could become cheap again.

Not if happens before the new memory factories get built

It's time for this bubble to pop already. We need to get past this centralized, unsustainable, undesirable, Big Brother stage of AI and get on to the "AI hosted in your kitchen" phase before we mess up the balance of power too much and effectively backdoor the US constitution to power hungry technocrats.

so... long term here meaning until the next frontier model comes out?

In a year you can watch a documentary on the mythos of Mythos (that outdated model in case you forgot already).

It honestly is shit, I tried 2 simple prompts, both times got blocked within 2 minutes.

Just wait patiently for the chinese labs to inevitably distill Fable without the 'policy layer/neurons' and offer it for pennies.

That one will be fun to see.

Sounds awesome. I can barely use Fable because or Anthropic's obnoxious fearmongering. It almost always gets downgraded to Opus 4.8. If the chinese somehow distill it into an open weight model, then I'll finally be able to harden my projects and networks.
