> The thing is, this doesn't even seem particularly useful for average consumers/listeners, since Spotify itself is so convenient, and trying to locate individual tracks in massive torrent files of presumably 10,000's of tracks each sounds horrible.

Are you aware Annas Archive already solved the exact same problem with books?

I am not, how did they solve that?

Basically there is an entity between Annas Archive and the torrents: hosters. AA has searchable metadata and a hash value. The hosters keep track of hash values, the cached files and in which torrents they are backed up, and take up almost the entire legal liability. Users search on AA what they are looking for but ultimately download it from a hoster.

ofc true. Unified memory is always less than vram. And my 16GB vram aren't enough.

But I think it's also a huge issue Apple makes storage so expensive. If Apple wants local AI to answer your questions it should be able to take your calender, emails, text messages, photos, journal entries etc. into account. It can't do that as nicely as long as customers opt for only 256GB or 1TB devices due to cost
