Makes no mistake, it's not an insult. I'm saying that precisely because I have been there.

Apple is the master at creating desire and building narrative in their customers' mind about the many things their devices would allow them to do. It's very aspirational and in practice most of the Macs get used for things that could have been done with a much cheaper option.

It may not be obvious to you but it's somewhat funny seeing you rationalise all kinds of dreams of what this machine could potentially be when in practice the people who would really be working on the kind of stuff you are talking about don't even consider them viable for many good reasons.

It's not that those machines cannot potentially do it, it's just that they don't really fit the goal very well.

A lot like people buying Cybertruck to "haul" stuff when they are a lot more option that are just plain better and make a lot more economic/practical sense.

It's OK to desire the thing and be excited about it but it really doesn't serve anyone to rationalise it so hard, you are lying to yourself as much as everyone else, it's not healthy.

If that was not clear, people working on AI stuff professionally really don't have to deal with a Mac Studio, they have access to better stuff. If you want to get one personally to experiment/toy around it's ok but it's not going to be this amazing thing for AI.
