• It doesn’t really matter.

    Giving away that data, especially if it’s something like your life’s work to some cloud provider is the height of idiocy.

    Some would claim it’s a big data problem, if it weren’t for the fact that we’re dealing with systems that not only handle big data, but that can interpret it.

    Assuming good faith with any vendor is foolhardy, because of historical precedent.

    Besides, in a year or two that number will drop, once the market has been saturated with NPUs. At that point they’ll be giving them away as an added bonus.

    That’s why I tell all artists and creatives roll your own. They are not startups trying to shake the tree to see what falls. They will be the coconuts plummeting to the ground.
