e/acc figure backs local AI as 'civilizational infrastructure' against cloud gatekeeping
beffjezos · x · 2026-10-17
e/acc figure beffjezos endorses Osmantic founder Ahmad Osman's argument that local AI is "civilizational infrastructure" and that cloud companies shouldn't be allowed to gatekeep it.
Osman points to people abroad and those fearing another "Fable 5 incident" turning to local deployments, argues recent cyber-attack narratives around OpenAI agents are a sandboxing issue rather than an open-source problem (citing GLM 5.2 helping Hugging Face defend itself), and notes enterprises unwilling to hand over data are another key demand driver.
