Mozilla CTO makes the case for owning your AI, not renting it, on Open Commons podcast
0xsachi · x · 2026-09-09
Mozilla CTO Raffi Krikorian — who scaled Twitter's infrastructure and led Uber's first self-driving car efforts — joins 0xsachi on the Open Commons podcast to argue that most people are merely renting AI access controlled by a handful of companies.
His core point: like posting on someone else's platform, you can have the rug pulled out from under you at any moment. He advocates for open source AI and a relationship where users own the technology they rely on rather than rent it.
