@Rocket@shitposter.world And also speaking of it costwise.

Because LLMs require a lot of computing power they unfortunately do not make a lot of sense for everyone to get a computer that is fast enough to run them properly.

If you bought a $6000 machine only to prompt it a few times a day to aid you in programming that would be very wasteful because that machine would be sitting there doing nothing most of the time while you're not actively using it.

I do think this makes a lot of sense for in organizations or groups of friends or anything similar however.

Imagine if you had an organization with 10 employees. You can buy the $6000 machine and all 10 employees can use it. While with a SaaSS program such as Cursor you are paying 10*200 = $20000 per year now.

So basically, if you buy powerful computer hardware that you're not actively using 247, share some of that computing power with other people and share the cost.
