I’ve never used music streaming services. I always disliked the idea of not owning my music. For me, the original iPod was the epitome of agency: mine to do with what I wanted, when I wanted.
With the relentless march of frontier models consuming as much of our data as possible, we need more agency today, not less. Control over who has access to our data. Control over when they have it. Control over what they are allowed to do with it.
Silicon Valley has given us some truly amazing inventions, but it has also welcomed some ugly things into our lives. Systems where we have very little control, very little ownership, and very little say.
That needs to change. Really looking forward to nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq4qsg3uuyk2qehlcamwlsjl4caxrf25h72w4mk0p5ty3vtwg2fnns5ad8vz (nprofile…d8vz) this year
