I wouldn't call my $2k Strix Halo computer "massively expensive", and it runs e.g. Qwen 3.6 27b brilliantly, with tons of memory to spare and is a full x86 powerhouse pulling 120w at absolute max.
IMO the programming world is far too myopic about / insistent on using laptops, especially macbooks. Just because a crappy deal exists doesn't mean everyone is forced to take it. Local AI is a high performance computing problem and laptops are fundamentally a crappy form factor for it; buy an efficient desktop computer and be surprised at what's possible even with today's crazy prices.
It doesn't have the usual giveaways of LLM text (except for the rather prominent dashes) but definitely has a similar verboseness and repetitiveness. Human writing can be like that too, if its author wanted to pad it out to a word quota.
I have no idea how she generated the text, but whether LLM or not, it isn't a recounting of direct experience. The author graduated high school in 2019 and never experienced the Internet of the 90s and doesn't remember pre-2006 because she was a toddler.
It's the feelings of uninformed people who don't yet know what's going on that I'm worrying about. Saying things like "libruls" and "freedumb" makes it harder to build the coalition which we'll need to prosecute the perpetrators.
But this is subjective. What you call as "Science" might be pseudoscience for someone else. As an example, some decade back, following and trusting peer reviewed research was "scientific", but even back then I thought it was a stupid, unscientific thing to do. Today the problems with peer review process is pretty widely acknowledged. But back then I would have been considered unscientific to not fully trust peer reviewed research. People also used to say things like "Science is settled" and "Trust the experts", which is the most unscientific thing that one could possibly say.
So since there is a lot of unscientific things that is being called "science" these days, I think this is very subjective.
I was in the same boat until last few days, where just a handful queries were enough to saturate my 5h session in about 30 mins.
Recently I've gotten Qwen 3.6 27b working locally and it's pretty great, but still doesn't match Opus; I've gotten check out that new Deepseek model sometime.
