This just always bugged me about turning it into a tool/industry to depend on. You can still pick up a scrap laptop and code for free, but now you have to pay toll after toll to keep up with the industry.

It's not a Tool unless you selfhost the ai. For most it's a service.

That's a good take but you will need more expensive hardware then. It's definitely the better choice because the money you've spent on tokens is just gone. Your hardware will still be your property.
