You can do that, and I can do that. Companies don't want to provide that, because there's value to having you feed their data. That means there's no incentive for them to make it easy for people to run local models.
So sure, it can technically exist, but not as a mass market tool.
Fortunately FOSS software is often not beholden to companies or profit motives like that, and that's specifically what this meme is about.
And it'll be just as impactful to mass culture as self-hosted FOSS software. That is, not very at all. My mom isn't hosting her own Jellyfin server, and she isn't hosting an LLM, either.
Okay? That's not what the meme was about, that's a separate thing.
