AI and alignment: why the debate over local models is back in focus

I’d like to share a thought from the world of AI and AI alignment.

George Hotz argues that locally controlled models are safer and more useful, as they can better reflect the interests of individual users.

In his view, the scenario of a rapid AI “takeoff” is often overstated.

Today, the debate is no longer only about model power, but also about the balance between user freedom and system constraints.

Why this matters: the chosen architecture determines who truly controls AI — the platform or the individual.

What do you think: is the future with centralized services or local models?
