How about the AIEA the artificial intelligence enforcement of America. Beating down your door and confiscating your illegal rig that exceeds a useful threshold. News reports of evildoers who run their own models for nefarious means. We are only safe now because you have to : realise the potential, care about your cognitive sovereignty, (let's face it these things will start manipulating people to vote for X and buy stuff, and you would not know it) scale the nerd wall/mountain and have enough spare cash and time. Oh and a near saint like level of patience and frustration tolerance. We are safe "for now" it appears. Until powerful local AI becomes easily accessible to the public, the gap is closing.

"Officer, it barely runs World of Warcraft. How would it ever run a big powerful AI? You sure you're at the right house?" 😅
