What? Do you live in the 1950s? Have you heard of nuclear accidents? How many people did wind and solar energy kill so far?

Which model with how many parameters du you use in ollama? With 8GB you should only be able to use the smallest models, which ist faaaar from ideal:

You should have at least 8 GB of RAM available to run the 7B models, 16 GB to run the 13B models, and 32 GB to run the 33B models.

Well, 2000€ for a “Pro” model of the Macbook 14" with only 8GB RAM sounds a bit strange, tbf. And +230€ for +8GB is straight up greedy.

They said “Actually, 8GB on an M3 MacBook Pro is probably analogous to 16GB on other systems” and well , that’s definitely not the case for their upcoming AI usecases, because - and many people seem to overlook that - their RAM is shared RAM (or as they call it “unified memory”), which means that the GPU is limited by these 8GB of (V)RAM because it can only use what is left by the System usage.

Yeah, you are right. In Germany we pay pay around 15% of our montlhy income for it. I too would not want to trade it in any way, but yeah, you pay for it.
