The Suburban Bunker NIMBY

“Global developer compute pricing jumped 10x? Sucks for them. My offline NAS is running fine.”

Character reading

The ultimate NIMBY prepper of the Bay Area! While ethicists and philosophers scream on podcasts about p(doom) and existential catastrophic risk, you're quietly wiring solar arrays to an air-gapped local cluster in your Sonoma garage. You don't care if the entire global software economy incinerates itself, as long as your private 4-bit quant runs locally at 60 tokens/sec and your home battery wall keeps your satellite uplink online. Empathy stops precisely at your gated community's perimeter.

The sting

Show

Doesn't care if the tech industry burns to ash, as long as his private local cluster runs at 60 tokens/sec behind a gated community.

Total absence of solidarity; locks his deadbolt three times and watches the software industry burn from his EV.
