Which is if you brand yourself as the safe AI company and then try to characterize everybody else as a reckless player.

and reckless AI needs to be stopped, you can see how this would basically further your monopolistic control over this industry.

And if you see AI through the lens that really, frankly, the Pope and I see it, which is centralization versus decentralization, I do think that is one of the key lenses we should have on the technology is whether you want

this to be a centralized or decentralized technology, this way of viewing the world leads to more centralization.

And I think that's dangerous.

I mean, if AI is this very powerful technology, I think it needs to be decentralized so that

all of us can protect ourselves to some degree, right?

We need to be able to run the AI ourselves on our own hardware if we so choose.

So we're not beholden to a single company that might be in bed with a deep state.

And this is something that is in control, I think, of humanity.

I've been talking about AI sovereignty here for a bit.

just in terms of how much more cost effective it is and how you're not training other people's AIs with your knowledge and your insights.

This is why it's super important that open source agents and local hardware be able to run these models and that consumers and companies learn how to roll their own language models, how to make a small language model, an SML, a VSML, a verticalized one, and run it on your Apple hardware because Apple actually has taken a principled approach

historically to your sovereignty for your data.

Data sovereignty- They care a lot about privacy.

Yes, and now it's intelligence sovereignty.

The intelligence sovereignty is different than privacy.

Privacy is, oh, you can't see my photos, you can't peek into my notes app and what I wrote there in my journal.

Now, intelligence sovereignty is you can't tell me what to think.

You can't use your AI to analyze my photos, to analyze my emails, to analyze my messages, and tell me how to interpret the world.
