The way we talk about AI is setting us up for regulatory capture.
When normies think AI is some sentient being that needs "protection" or a wild force that must be "controlled," they'll beg for restrictions.
This framing isn't just cringe—it's dangerous. It shifts the debate from "how do we build" to "how do we stop."
Meanwhile, closed-source giants lobby for compliance moats that kill open innovation.
If you care about decentralized AI, crypto-native compute, or any future where devs can permissionlessly build—stop treating AI like it has feelings or needs a leash.
It's code. It's infrastructure. It's a tool.
The real question: who controls the stack?
