A Reddit user calculates that a $20,000 local AI rig does not achieve cost breakeven versus a $200/month hosted subscription until month 27 — and argues that sunk-cost bias, electricity costs, depreciation, opportunity cost, and maintenance time are systematically ignored in community claims that 'local AI is free after hardware purchase'.
