I’d expect these shenanigans to get much worse over time for the average Joe.

Imagine a world where any random person can run a super-capable model on their own hardware with no limitations and no one to pull the plug.

Information has always been power and those who already have power won't just allow everyone else having the same tools as them

That would be my heaven. I wish that for you and Joe down the street, as much as I wish it for myself! I would fight and even die to defend your right to free compute. Will you do the same for me, brother?

It's an arms race. You have to run increasingly capable model partly because others can or do.
