    It all reads like a giant racket. AI requires 32GB of RAM on your laptop, 32GB of RAM is expensive, so you have to lease, and it’s expensive because AI requires RAM to run in the cloud. It’s a problem in search of a solution, and it keeps making new problems along the way.

      Its only a problem if you want to run AI. If you don’t want AI locally or cloud based, then no need to spend the money on the high end 32GB model (for AI purposes) or paying for a cloud subscription. No one is required to get the 32GB model if they don’t want it.
