And sorry for not using the traditional magic smiley ; )
pure rhetorical

So, if you want the write the world’s best “AI” software, which runs locally, not ever needing an internet connection, then I welcome it, but that isn’t even on the table. It’s all going to someone else’s servers, not mine, not yours.

I’m training AI to classify geometry and generate ribbing structures or lightweight reinforcement in general. It all works locally and offline.
