That’s the goal, once you can’t outright afford the hardware what do you think happens?
Subscriptions of course, much like the phone “contracts” of today, now you can rent a PC, or better yet subscribe to a cloud instance of a PC.
You’d still need to subscribe to the LLM of course, but that’d be easier if it was bundled with your cloud computer subscription.
Then comes the software bundles, because they can’t just have you installing whatever you want on their cloud machines, that’s leaving money on the table.
Eventually with the next generation, or the one after that it will become normalised, just another thing you can’t own because fuck you, that’s why.
