I published an op ed in TechDirt last week: Why Centralized AI Is Not Our Inevitable Future.

The gentle singularity Altman envisions might start gently, but any singularity that revolves around a single company contains within it the seeds of tyranny.

We don't need Big Tech's vision of AI. We need Better Tech—technology that respects human agency, preserves privacy, enables creativity, and distributes power rather than concentrating it.

Instead of racing to build the one AI to rule them all^[hc], we should be building intentional technology—systems genuinely aligned with human agency and aspirations rather than corporate KPIs.
