Lately, I keep hearing and reading about AI taking our jobs and destroying the world.

But what if we looked at it from the other side?

People said crazy things about the internet too, yet here I am in 2025 just because internet, more self-sufficient than my ancestors, who only had access to state-controlled broadcasts and, if they were lucky, some foreign radio for a different perspective.

What if AI actually contributes to decentralizing states? Sure, in the wrong hands, it can be destructive—but so can the internet. Just look at North Korea, where Kim uses a closed ISP the same way past regimes used state TV. But that doesn’t make the internet itself a threat.

If anything, the real threat is us—people. #nostr nostr:note1uclce5883cgs67wj0fjrf0k7kscfyhqk6rdj07n5qhs8l2thl4ys2jny3k
