Own Your Exocortex: The Future of Digital Access
The current landscape of large language model (LLM) research is characterized by an oligopoly of a few dominant companies that control access to advanced technology. This centralized control raises concerns about individual ownership and autonomy, likened to the concept of renting one's brain. The metaphor of an exocortex suggests that the ability to engage with and utilize AI technology is fundamental to personal cognitive expansion. If users do not have ownership of the underlying models, akin to 'not your keys, not your tokens' in crypto, they essentially lack control over their cognitive enhancements. This situation can feel invasive and underscores the importance of democratizing access to AI technologies to ensure individuals maintain agency over their intellectual capabilities.
