 As I was going through my notes , I came across these lines I wrote down from this talk. These were most memorable for me. 

1. There’s no freedom, only friction

2. Instead of inflating the currency which is an invisible tax making all your money less and less valuable, you have deflationary currency where as time goes on, it continues to increase in value

3. If there is a sense of a true global consciousness, it is this (AI) right now as it is getting everyone’s frustrations into the system; it’s getting all their emotions. It’s getting everything they create, all the light stuff, all the dark stuff, negative positive, and it’s seeing everything. But there is only one person  who can see all those things and that’s the CEO of the company.

4. And because they are getting more and more trust, you are actually asking them questions on what to do and they are directing you and by default your bias would be to follow it.

It would be nice to have custom block AI models that bridges individual ownership of data while maintaining privacy without owning it. Gov’ts are already rushing to impose control mechanisms and laws, and it will infiltrate AI related enterprises as it did the media. 

It is becoming evident why open-source AI is a need, not a want.
