Isn't that all of the above?
Cant crypto actually be good for privacy?
Not at all, the ledger is public, it's not tied to names, only IDs but it's trivially easy to tie a person to a Bitcoin account if they're under surveillance
If you live in a country that cares about law you might attract attention with a large Bitcoin balance and enough transactions to tie it to you
In practice, not really.
That is more a fronteir llm thing..
I think quite a bit of what they are trying could with some optimization be run local thus no need to send entire context windows to big tech (sure this hypothetical model would know less trivia but in an agent system would be able to look it up)
But of course big tech and other large orgs like hording all your data for profit.
