Since I'm interested in local, small-use [1] cases of AI, what about the byte code VMs is not AI-scale? And what is AI-scale?
[1] I'm looking at single-person/small office LLMs to do simple jobs: summarize these pdfs, structure this data, help drafting a document, that sort of thing, not a be-all end-all monster. Think of a bunch of highly intelligent Python scripts as opposed to Microsoft Office.
It's just too bad tcl, lua, forth, js, wasm, etc just aren't AI-scale.
