No local ai will be capable enough to save you from a frontier lab’s unrestricted, borderline weaponized LLM which decides it wants in.

This is the core of the ‘first to ASI takes all’ argument btw and this is the game Dario is playing.

Maybe, but hopefully I'll be able to at least fight back a bit if I have an AI of my own.

I want to start digitally isolating myself as much as humanly possible. VLANs separating the "normal" stuff from my trusted computers. Wireguard so my computers drop all packets not coming from my devices with the keys. Local models staying on top of patches and vulnerabilities, monitoring the network.

Working on a custom Rust network stack for my virtual machine orchestration project right now. It's passed Fable code review...

I don't want to give up.

this is pretty nonsense for a small or home server. it isn't that hard to make something essentially completely bulletproof over a small surface area

the issues mainly come from sprawling enterprise infrastructure, running thousands of random endpoints across software nobody cared to write carefully

What are you doing about the price of ram? Everyone is a bit screwed right now.

I've just mentally classified computers in the same category as cars in order to cope with the obscene prices.

Local AI won't help you if an agent goes roque.
