Overview
Ben Guo explains the next computer is a personal cloud: software-company-grade infrastructure for personal computing, not just for businesses.
In this episode he demos Zo live and shows what that looks like when files, automations, memory, hosting and model access live in one persistent system you own. Personal computing is starting to feel like the early PC movement again, and the early days of the internet and P2P file sharing/hosting.
