Because this is basically the turn here.

Unless something dramatic changes, Apple is still not particularly interested in gaming, but Apple seems to really be pointing their high-performance computing at...
podcast-host
AI related stuff, which makes sense in the world that we're living in.
podcast-host
And it just so happens that Apple's hardware is actually pretty good at AI related stuff.

And I can see a future for myself where instead of paying whatever dollars per month to some company for their coding agent,
podcast-host
I can run something that is as good as what I'm currently paying them to run on their servers on my M nine based Mac studio at some point in the future.
podcast-host
Right.
podcast-host
what we're getting there?
podcast-host
Oh
podcast-host
gosh.
podcast-host
But this is, this is, this is what I'm thinking.
podcast-host
This is my strategy here, which is like, obviously by then the ones that run the servers will be better still.
podcast-host
So I'll still probably want to use them, but there is a certain baseline utility that,
podcast-host
of like, let's say like a, you know, current and former sponsor, Anthropic, Fable 5 level model that you could run on your Mac locally in some years in the future.
podcast-host
Again, the server ones are going to be better by then, right?
podcast-host
But something Fable caliber locally, basically for free, a Fable caliber thing can do a lot of mundane tasks coding wise.
podcast-host
Like not maybe your super hard ones, not maybe find the obscure bug or whatever, but like just run of the mill, like write me this automation script, do this thing, whatever.
podcast-host
I think that is going to be attainable locally on Macs at some point in the future, but only for people who have the big honking Mac.
podcast-host
So it's like, why do you ever buy a big honking Macs?
podcast-host
My answer used to be so I can run PC games at high frame rates when I reboot into windows.
