Yes to this keep core base load in your own bare metal systems, use the clouds for what they do best.

It's a transient state. Food for thought: how much of Linux being a daily driver depends on you having a modern Android or iOS smartphone?
If you need a locked down phone that passes remote attestation to authenticate yourself to a remote service, then whatever you use to access the service UI doesn't really matter: the only device that's necessary to have to use the service is the one you don't fully control, and which gets to control your patterns of use.
An intuition pump I like: imagine you want to put a widget on your desktop that always shows you the current balance of your bank account. You want it to just work ~forever after initial authentication (or at least a couple weeks between any reauth), and otherwise not require any manual interaction. See how hard it is (if it's even possible), and you'll know how badly you're being disempowered already.
My daily driver is Rocky 10, but my control plane is a Pixel 6 on the ATT network but I control almost nothing on that layer. It is why I have been moving most of my core workloads off SaaS and back to local.

Thanks CJ, I live with that chart, but forget maybe most don't. And to add 4 to level 2-0 can also be an attack vector, but seeing straight 5 to 1-0 happens more then people want to admit even with the "firewalls"

As a company that supports OT systems we hate seeing level 5 in the Purdue model with direct write access to level 1 and 0.

Llms have been there for 3 years now... Is it another "2 more weeks" promise, à la Musk
Yes true, but lag to industry is closer to ten years. We definitely don't move fast. Example Oil and Gas is just touching LLMs. We took 15 years+ to move to the cloud which once everything was there we moved stuff back to the edge. There are racks now in the HQ towers (Devon Tower which wasn't designed to have any on perm DC setups now has two whole floors). And the actual factories, they barely have any kind of OT awareness. We help them, but who knows how long before they do much of anything.
The end is gold. The first half is kinda intro, but then the language tightens up and they rock it.

Weird that it doesn't translate to any visible growth, everyone became a 10x employee, but if you exclude Ai companies themselves the GDP barely moved in 3 years.
There maybe a lag we are talking 12-24 month projects on our end. But right AI spending is driving everything we will see how long application shows up.

We use AI to help manufacturers run their OT system more effectively. We don't see employment rising in this sector but do see output increases.

Having lived in Alberta and Quebec as an American this is funny as hell, but that is Canada got to do something with too much time inside.
