that is almost exactly what they said though..?

The parent comment literally said that the common LLM defects would go away.

Direct quote:

> all of the common LLM defects will go away

I get your reading. My interpretation is that they’re claiming enshittification and that the local models don’t have that.

It’s an understandable view, but I’d be astonished by any local model processing very long context better than any frontier model (and now many racks are we talking).

> Want it to go away, almost like magic?

True, almost like magic and magic are not the same thing, but I'd hesitate to call this a strawman.
