Emergencies = No Internet
What about no power? You gonna run your generator for your local model? What are we doing here? Have we lost our way completely?
Generators require the infrastructure that supplies fuel, and you need to have a generator you might not need.
Solar panels and batteries are great for emergencies, and they're useful besides.
I'm conflicted here -- on the one hand, you make a good point. Things we take for granted normally are luxuries in a survival sitation. On the flip side, running a generator for a bit to get an LLM to generate schedules, guides, step-by-step that can be edited/followed on a much lower-powered device seems reasonable.
