it's 2026. my work machine is a macbook pro with 64gb ram.
i would rather spend a few hundred or thousands of dollars a month to make way more, than waste time and still lose to people who are using the latest commercial models which are 3 months ahead of the open source.
I am jokingly agreeing with you: Bill Gates famously claimed 640 kilobytes of RAM was sufficient for everyone, which felt like a funny parallel to people telling you "open source models are sufficient for everyone"
There's obviously a competitive advantage to having better tools, and I find it amusing/absurd that some people don't get that.
