I hate to say this but local-first AI is likely not the answer to consumer AI privacy. This is for the exact same reasons why "real" p2p never scaled: users simply won't run infra. The best approach today is likely private cloud AI running on TEEs.

I'd love to connect AI agents to my files, email, trading accounts, chat groups - incredibly powerful But i can't do it until i have data privacy and control imagine the data breaches imagine the loss of control imagine a hack - you could be utterly destroyed What I want is turnkey hardware that runs local models that the leading AI agent tools can treat as a cloud - same UX, but privately without compromise Something like @__tinygrad__ Tinybox meets @Ledger There's got to be $10 billion opportunity for the startup who makes this real Because what's the alternative. The AI companies own us? Is it possible to make a fully encrypted, bulletproof private AI cloud.
To be clear: I love p2p and was a huge local-first stan for YEARS. But it's just not where consumer behavior is going. Users want multi-device sync, backups, and slim/lightweight devices. TEEs do this today w reasonable privacy guarantees. FHE is eventual ideal solution.
