Deficits are part of the financial equation. It must be created. The reason is Government does NOT get money from taxes or bonds. Taxes are collected in the end of fiscal year. The government spends FIRST it collects taxes later in order to create demand for those dollars. Therefore, that government doesn’t need to BORROW IT. it sells bonds in order to create demand for those dollars along with taxes it collects, the currency therefore have value. Remember , the dollar is or any fiat currency is owned & issued by the government.

[@TheQu3tzalify]

The conclusion is not true. I'm an AI research engineer, I work on multimodal LLMs for search with RAG and other fun stuff. I also do applications of robotic foundational models. Running any big model in the cloud is much much faster than locally. To be able to run a big LLM locally you need a ton of compute, like 8xA100 easily and that's not even enough for the biggest models. I'm 100% convinced that we will NOT see an upgrade in end-user devices. Everything will be in the cloud (as it already is). The only people still running local models will be privacy-nerds (I see nothing wrong with that btw) and companies with security and privacy imperatives. There's no way your phone will ever be able to run big LLM or audio/image/video diffusion models locally even heavily quantized and optimized for inference. Our phones are already glorified end terminals and do very very little compute locally. The only exception is phone cameras that do image cleaning, stabilization, enhancing, etc... but that's it.

[@philippeleban3487]

Exactly. And the comparison with games isn't a good one because streamed games have serious problems with value proposition and UX. Rest of the video was good though.

[@TheQu3tzalify]

@@manvsmachine1 heavily quantized 8B version, right? it's not a killer use case because you don't want to empty your battery for an hour of chat. Also on what are you going to RAG? On documents you want to have synchronized across your phone and desktop, which requires pulling data. In the end, why not just pay a couple bucks for the company to also do the compute and not just the data keeping? Also you might be satisfied with a chat interface for now, but with GPT-4o and Project Astra, now people will expect video question answering in real-time, which add a hell of complexity and compute power.

When your mortgage rate is lower than inflation, you hold tight because you’re making money without risk.

[@Ek0]

This only makes sense in the context of your home. If home price inflation is rising > than your mortgage rate, then yes.

[@longgowhereto]

This is how fools think. And as you have a like I will ditch this channel now. You sit in a fixed rate, but the others do not - means nobody can afford houses at those rates and housing will crash and when the houses in your street crash - so does yours. You may say you do not care that your house falls, but you pay down a 300k mortgage while your neighbour gets foreclosed at 150k. Think, and never write such a bs without thinking.

A.I. as with all new technology throughout all of history, is a weapon.

[@CeeJay591]

I’m sure there are many people who need to sell their houses now, due to change in circumstances, higher taxes or HOA fees, higher insurance rates, etc but can’t due to the much higher mortgage rate - but this situation can only last so long and in fact I have seen housing prices decreasing for less desirable properties. If we do see any sort of contraction in the job market more people will sell out of necessity which would drive the market even lower, as folks want to get as much money as possible before the bottom falls out. Also, the savings rate going down is not a bullish sign - it is a sign that many folks are struggling with inflation as their income is not keeping pace with rising prices. Inflation and higher rates take a long time to impact the economy but, when the full impact hits, expect a significant slowdown, which is exactly what is needed to tame inflation.

machine learning requires massive resources to train but not nearly as much to run after training is complete. A large hardware upgrade isn't really required to run machine learning apps locally on desktops, laptops and phones. For instance; a HPC may be needed to train a model that adds bunny ears to live video of people but the trained model would be executable on a phone.

[@TheSuavest]

Cloud Computing is the real money making machine. Cloud Computing is the vehicle AI will be distributed on because obviously the hardware will likely never be compact enough to run that level of software and code.

If most people bought a house at a 3% mortgage and plan to hold it for 20 years or more, then how can they be "stuck" or "house poor"? Why would they even move if the mortgage fell down to 1%? They would just refinance at the lower rate and stay in the same house.

I don't think you can dismiss government debt . Jay Powell has said it is uncontroversial that the current debt spiral is "unsustainable." No one in the Fed has contradicted him.

When savings rate is down people are spending. When recession begins savings rates go up as fear enters the market. That's the math. Low savings rate and high credit card debt = consumer confidence.

im either way on gov spending, but the "they have been saying that for 40 years" argument doesnt really convince me. climate change has been an issue for roughly the same time frame, there has not been a collapse from it yet, but we still know if we dont adress it we are screwed. right now goverments are like banks in 2007, too big to fail. which also means there cant be graceful failure, only devastation when it does fail.

The fear of deficit was created by Thatcher and Reagan who viewed the national economy the same as that of a convenience store.

[@jestinedoor515]

Amazing video. Very informative and inline with my thinking. It’s tru that right now the hype is AI chips and tbh I hold some positions in said chip companies but the real question is what comes after that. In today’s reality I would like AI apps in my phone that allow me to do everyday tasks with a tap of a button or better voice activated by telling them what I need done. I completely agree with Steve Iseman. His team have really put in the work and done the research.

[@philippeleban3487]

The bond market is being bought by the FED. Each time it approaches 5% it dips miraculously back down even though the economic news and information hasn’t changed. The dollar is about to be decoupled from its Saudi partner. Each set of data from the government is wonderful until it’s revised a month later. Everything is fine, nothing to worry about.

[@Mrpikkebaas]

The deficit is not an issue is kind of a dumb comment when you know that they will either have to raise taxes or inflation. Both will show up on your business performances.

No worries about the deficit. I find that unbelievable. The US has already 34 trillion debt. Need to print more and more money because of the yearly deficit. And the US needs to pay a lot of extra interest because of this debt. This is on long term not sustainable. It can even cause hype inflation if the other countries in the world will not accept the USD as reserve currency anymore. That is already happening. The Brics nations are planning to stop using the USD for various things. The moment they start with that plan. USD will collaps. So if i were the US i would focus on the deficit and the total debt of 34 trillion.
