> step one in most of my projects now is to ask AI about it. Maybe it’ll tell me something I don’t know.

Bingo. This is exactly how I use LLM. I like getting a gut check, seeing what the first recommendations are or if there is some deep flaw in what I think the approach is, and I almost never copy/paste whatever it spits back or just follow its instructions.

I'm impressed by the effort and the technical know-how.

Another part of me is almost annoyed that Apple's complete apathy toward obvious computing use cases like this is rewarded by a project like this. I feel like Macs and macOS should not be rewarded for being so difficult to extend and use outside of Apple's narrow vision of the use case of their hardware.

Apple used to support this use case wholeheartedly, but we can see that it's abandoned on their end: Intel-only, and the newest generation of AMD GPUs supported are the 6000 series: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102363

I got tired of rewarding Apple for refusing to make a computer that makes the most of the technology available. This stuff is all a lot worse than just moving over to Linux or even Windows. With hardware like the Framework 13 Pro coming out, along with a surprisingly good set of premium PC laptops, I really don't think the Mac hardware is worth it anymore. Others have legitimately caught up, especially with Apple's aging MacBook Pro chassis with the horrible notch.
