"How this works" - Slowly!

I was chatting with ChatGPT 4o the other day and I was asking it on "what steps/software/tools/etc. I need to set up my own LLM offline on a PC".

I suggested a few PCs I got, they were all super slow, but for the purpose I want it (numerical analysis) I can make it work. But even my stupid old PCs are times-infinity faster than this C64!!
