you don't need to take ai training quite so literally (:

Honestly, if you have a residence of some kind and an Internet connection, you don't need to bring your beefy computer with you everywhere. It is cool to be able to have ridiculously powerful mobile computers, but I don't think I would ever be willing to take a $6,000 laptop anywhere it has a decent chance of being stolen.

> Can I use that on the train though? I can with a 128GB MacBook, without it sounding like a helicopter taking off as well.

What kind of timescale do you expect to be able to train a useful LLM with that?

If you have an internet connection then sure you can?

You can use a desktop computer on a train if it's one with power outlets. Might get some funny looks, but I've seen it happen (or at least pictures). :)
