Darth I see your points and agree with many.
BUT. It is important not to conflate ChatGPT/OpenAI with other open source machine learning projects that not only could be completely self-sovereign but actually a weapon to fight back.
It's like saying you dislike this new "gunpowder" thing because now any idiot can effortlessly kill from a distance. Guess what? Keep your sword, and the "evil lords" will use gunpowder and wipe you out real fast.
We are not going to stop AI by complaining or hiding in a corner. Let's learn how to use their tools against them.
This is precisely what I am not liking about AI. That it puts me in a position of having to choose between dominating or being dominated. AI is offensive in nature, as opposed to Bitcoin, which is defensive in nature. It's like having to build my own atomic bomb just because everyone else has one.
I know it cannot be stopped, but how can we survive and thrive in this environment without corrupting ourselves?
The whole thesis of the Sovereign Individual is based on the idea that during nation states' rise, offensive force was superior to defensive force, whereas during the Sovereign Individual's rise, defensive systems are superior to offensive ones. Is it wrong?

I wish I knew the answer to your question.
Maybe bitcoin has the potenial to limit AI's destructiveness. What other defensive systems besides bitcoin you think will arise in a self-sovereign era?
