The poster argues personal AI must run locally and stay fully private — no central authority, corporate or public, should have access to your life and medical data in a system that could be used against you. "AI is not dangerous; the humans who desire to leverage it against humans are dangerous."
The quoted post announces an open-source fork of a wearable device, framing it as a great open hardware initiative and urging indie hackers to build something unique rather than ceding the future to Meta's tamagotchi-plus-glasses play.
