So many people don’t realize that many small, medium businesses or orgs and many, many people have been self-sovereign all along.
Never trusted the cloud. Not gonna store any of their information on someone else’s servers let alone Amazon/Google/Microsoft’s. Kept data and servers on-prem.
Didn’t think of it as cypherpunk or self-sovereign or any kind of ideology rather than self-protection of their data.
With the current wave of AI, none of them ever wanted their data going to OpenAI or Anthropic or China either.
Not new, not punk :-). Just how a lot of orgs and people have always operated. Often called “luddites” or “behind”, for NOT utilizing cloud services.
Now they/we look visionary....

Reminder that we are Human, we are NOT machines (reminded by high fever/slight malaise).
When dealing with intense situations-intense work or intense personal stress and limited sleep, remember:
• eat well - I recommend Cashews!
• be careful (you’re off balance, be alert in whatever you physically do during this time)
• get outside, get sun (take your calls there)
• laugh at something (no shame in that)

he said people were saying 'Oh but you had to use your years of taste and design and coding skills to be able to do that, the average person cannot learn the AI tools and do that. '
and he basically told them (in different words):
