And I'm a fatalist regarding AI. I put aside whether I'm for or against. AI just is and we have to deal with it.
Below the fatalism though, I've been excited for this day ever since I saw "2001" in the matinee theater as a kid (and also as a kid: played against a Tic Tac Toe computer at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago).
And that I can run some of these models locally? Heady times for my inner kid.
I've tried (and struggled) to understand how they work as well so that I am not ignorant on the subject—so that I can have an opinion a little better than a layman's.

You've been excited for the arrival of AI ever since you saw a movie about a murderous AI who tries (and mostly succeeds) to wipe out the entire human crew of its ship? Dr. Strangelove also got you psyched up for a nuclear war, I guess?
Yeah, to be against ai on some level is to be against computing. An abacus is ai, for some looser definitions of ai. But we can all accept our mortality while we give first priority, breath by breath, to staying alive.
