## Quote — verbatim

> If I had a model in my home running on my local compute — unused compute clusters with my wife's MacBook, my MacBook, my child's MacBook — I can easily talk to the model and have the privacy guarantees. I think privacy is extremely underrated in the world of massive AI adoption.

Continues the health-diagnosis story; contrasts a 5-hour, costly Akash H100 spin-up with an always-available local home cluster.
