Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Sure. It's big. I think they linked some cloud services where you can run it. Like HuggingFace(?), Azure, Amazon, ... And we have some services available like runpod.io where you also can rent a Linux machine by the minute. With several datacenter NVidia cards with 80GB VRAM each.
It won't run on a normal high-end gaming PC at that size. I think a Mac Studio with lots of RAM can do it. Or you'd need to buy several of the very expensive NVidia cards. But I think that's exactly why they gave us the other variants with less parameters.
I'm happy that they released it anyways. Before that it was just a game for the big players and nobody could participate. Now we have it and no one can take it away. It is certainly possible to run it. Albeit not easy to run at home. But it's like that with lots of things in life. Sometimes the professional tools or expensive infrastructure aren't affordable for private people. But we can share and rent such things.
