    All the hard drive do is storing the data, they do need the data centers to comb through them for any patterns they deemed to be a threat to them

      Which still doesn’t require as much energy as LLMs do. I run exactly that on my own server at home. And my unifi system does it on video all locally with no GPU at all. Video processing for identification is incredibly cheap and easy from a computer processing standpoint these days. You literally can do it on a raspberry pi.

              I’m just gonna hope you’re joking and not that your username is an accurate description.

              Knowing when someone is at your doorbell without ringing the doorbell is pretty useful. Same for knowing if your dog got out, or a number of other things. I don’t like sharing my neighbors data with Amazon or the Feds, so running it all locally is perfect. I get to control how long any data is kept for, what it scans for, and none of it leaves my property.

        And? It doesn’t matter what solution is optimal. The only thing matters is this is the solution their rich friends sold them.
