The Window for Local-First AI (Before the Defaults Ship)

https://www.localghost.ai/inflection

Built this over Christmas. LocalGhost is a vision, not a product — there's a repo and this website, nothing else yet.

Thesis: hardware commoditization is nearly done, but Apple/Google will entrench "local" AI with cloud-mandatory features. Once convenient defaults exist, alternatives become irrelevant for most users.

The piece covers extraction economics and why the cognitive layer (the questions you ask an AI) is the most intimate data surface yet.

Also buried some games in the homepage terminal if you're bored.

Looking for a reality check — am I way off?
