AI as a centralizing force

I really do believe the long-term future of AI is local. History tends to move in that direction, technologies that once belonged only to governments, universities, or massive corporations eventually become personal. Computers used to fill up whole rooms & now they fit in our pockets and have incredible capabilities. AI feels like it’s still in its “mainframe era” and it’s gonna get get messier before it gets better, but I think the endpoint is clear and it isn’t rented access to a server farm far away.
