Show Notes

"When you introduce 2 million, 10 million "developers" that were never developers into an ecosystem that's used to having closed platforms and silos and stuff, what do those 10 million motivated people build? They're more likely to build the solution that they always wanted and that they build something that gets around these silos.
One of the most important things that's going on right now is the shift from closed platforms to open protocols. The more that all of that stuff is open, the more the walls, the potential barriers that appear to lock people into these platforms will just kind of start to fall away.
On a long enough timeline, open just wins."

- Guy Swann


In a recent episode of The Staying Free Podcast, I had a valuable conversation with my friend and colleague Jonny, also known as jonnyhodl. We delved into the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and individual sovereignty, challenging the conventional narratives that often depict AI as a threat to freedom.

We explored the open versus closed system debate, questioning whether decentralization can truly safeguard our liberties in an age of intelligent machines. The discussion also touched on crucial issues like privacy, autonomy, and human agency, encouraging people to rethink their understanding of AI. Could AI be a tool for liberation, or are we on the brink of a new form of control?

This was a conversation worth sharing, as it offers deep insights into the potential of AI to either enhance or erode our freedoms.
