@garrytan frames personal ai as the counter to extractive institutions: freedom to write your prompt and own your data. @hwchase17 made the same point from the dev side last month: if you don't own your harness, you don't own your memory. the lock-in isn't the model. it's the memory you can't take with you. The goal of Personal AI: civilization where individual humans, augmented by AI, can do consequential work without being captured by extractive institutions. Freedom to write your prompt and own your data. This is the new battleground. 2034 won’t have to be like 1984.
