Yeah, we're still manning for a second.

So they see the power of it.

They're the ones who are concerned about safety.

And they care the most.

And therefore, they're in the best position to do that.

Now, I think the issue is just you can see how this can lead to red capture, right?

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.

Yeah.

Look, Jake, I agree with you about the importance of open source because open source means software freedom.

You can run the program yourself on your own hardware.

You don't have to

share you don't have to give up your data sovereignty you don't have to give up your privacy to again to some monopolist who's going to be you know in bed with the government or the deep state right so that's the thing we're all afraid of and if that's the only ai that's available is from the you know monopoly or duopoly
