Burazin: AI agent scale creates high probability of impending CPU shortages
“I don't know it goes to the extreme to where GPUs are because that is very, very, very extreme. But it is quite highly, high probability that there will be shortages of CPUs going forward.”
Burazin: Running local AI agents on personal PCs poses severe security risks
“The way people usually run these things and cloud code or open claw is usually on their own computer because it helps them, you know, organize emails, you know, search whatever documents they have and whatnot. There there's a one, there's a high security risk …”
