Chapter 2: How do Scott Adams meetups foster community engagement?

1230.914 - 1249.269 Erica

And I do think it is better to have it on an isolated computer. So from that perspective, it's a good thing to have it on its own computer with nothing else on it. But that's just one element of the security issue. And but you don't need a Mac mini if you're using cloud agents because all the processing is being done somewhere else.

So that's why a Raspberry Pi that's a pretty low powered computer can do just as well with it. And so people who are spending, you know, whatever it is, maybe a thousand bucks for a Mac mini, you know, they could have done it for 80 bucks and had just as good an experience.

you want to run local models which is what i was interested in doing because that's a lot safer um and also a lot cheaper um that's really difficult i think because it i think it does depend on having the big brain llm models like opus 4.5 or now they just came out with 4.6 and like those are the ones that are really to the point where you could think oh this thing is kind of like agi like it really seems to know what it's doing but you need that really advanced

Which means you can't really run those locally very easily because they're massive. And most consumer hardware wouldn't be able to do those types of things. And so most people are using those cloud agents. And that has a couple of impacts. Number one, like I said, it can be really expensive if you wake it up every 15 minutes, which I think might even be the default suggestion that they give you.

it can eat up all the tokens of whatever subscription you have pretty quickly. And if you tell it to use an API, that means it's going to keep using tokens and it's going to rack up a huge bill.

1326.908 - 1333.097 Scott Adams

Well, the good news is, remember, all adult male teenagers all make wise decisions. Exactly.

1333.217 - 1345.613 Erica

So we don't have to worry about any of this. But I think it is a dangerous thing. And I think a lot of people are probably just doing it for fun and they don't even necessarily have some serious purpose behind it.

1346.116 - 1371.347 Erica

I do think the idea has potential, but I think my advice, if anyone is interested in doing this, is take it really slow, be very careful, and maybe have someone who really understands IT security set it up for you and tell you what you shouldn't do with it, because it is something that could get you into a lot of trouble.

1371.935 - 1376.281 Erica

the more autonomy you give it and the more information about yourself that you give it, the more risk you're taking.
