Thing is, we WILL allow it to be, most people are not on the fediverse or session/signal/simpleX, they don't give a shit about their privacy. Techbros, or corporations don't really need 100% of the people to be on board for this to become mainstream, and hell, while i choose not to use it, AI is creeping into even my banking and online shopping apps, I also can't even look up something to buy without logging in now, so every single search I do is tracked. There's no other option for online shopping in my country that even comes close to that one, so you default to using it.
I don't know what a NAS is, but yes, local AI is something I'd really like to get into (can't atm due to money, but i will when I can save up) I think this will become so much more of a productive way to work that while we won't be "forced" directly into it, we will end up picking it up in one way or another in order to stay competitive, get a proper salary for food housing and health yknow?
