https://youtu.be/BVBEKQOZm8c From cassette tapes and blinking cursors to AI that talks back, this is a journey most people never stop to think about. Bob the Cyber-Guy takes you behind the scenes of personal computing’s evolution — not as a history lesson, but as a first-hand experience from someone who lived it. Along the way, you’ll discover how early struggles shaped modern technology, why today’s AI feels so different, and what hasn’t changed at all despite everything else transforming. This isn’t about specs or nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It’s about perspective — and why experience matters more than ever in the AI era. If you’ve ever wondered how we got here… or why curiosity might be your most powerful tech skill… this one’s worth your time. To put this video together, I used the following tools: ChatGPT, PowerPoint, ZOOM's Clips, and ScreenPal

Here’s what’s happening under the hood: 📈Where We’re Headed: Model Sizes Are Exploding - GPT-3 had 175 billion parameters - GPT-4 - Possibly over a trillion.  Training those monsters takes weeks on thousands of GPUs - OpenAI, Google, Meta—they’re scaling faster than Moore’s Law can keep up. Inference Costs Are Mounting - Training gets the spotlight, but inference—running the model every time you use AI—is the silent killer.  Millions of users x thousands of queries daily = a processing tsunami. Energy Drain Is Real - Data cent...

Let’s start by busting the biggest myth - The cloud is not floating above your house - It’s not a magical place in the sky where your cat videos, tax returns, and vacation photos drift in digital limbo. The cloud is just someone else’s computer. More specifically, it’s a massive network of powerful servers located in data centers around the world. When you upload a photo, write a document, or stream a movie, you’re often pulling data not from your own device — but from a server in Chicago, Frankfurt, Tokyo, or who-knows-where. 📦So, Why Is It Called “The Cloud”? The term “cloud” originally came from network diagrams ...
