Because then they have all the power. This is all about power. LLMs make PCs vastly more powerful and can create independence from service companies across the economy. We could each have a team of hyper competent professionals for all service industries that deal with information. Businesses, don’t like that. Instead, they want to control all access to that power and use it to position themselves as the most powerful. Much like communism, they too will seize the means of information production for their individual empowerment while simulationeously disempowering everyone else. If we were smart monkeys, we’d start hording computer parts en masse so we have a stockpile of resources to invest in our own group empowerment until we can overcome the hardware access limitations they are artificiality creating to reduce competition for control of this technology. It’s all a fucking scam by a small group of extremely selfish monkeys, to take all the bananas and ration that access to control all the other monkeys. It’s all about power and I wish we were smarter and more united to peruse our collective interests over their private ones.
