Live Free Now w/ John Bush - LFN #267 - Should Freedom People Use AI? Curtis Stone’s Off-Grid AI Talk

From Think and Act Locally Think & Act Locally

Most of us in the freedom movement agree on a lot. We said no to the shot, we don’t want technocracy running our lives, and we’re against AI mass surveillance. But AI itself is where things get nuanced. Is it good? Is it bad? What should be avoided? Is there such a thing as privacy-focused AI?

Today on the Live Free Now show, I’m playing Curtis Stone’s talk from Exit & Build Virtual Summit 3. It was one of the most controversial talks we’ve aired, and the comments came in from every direction.

Curtis runs his own off-grid AI on his homestead. It sits on his own hardware, runs on his own solar, and doesn’t answer to big tech. He makes the case for why freedom lovers should own their intelligence the same way they own their food, water, and power. He also lays out a warning for anyone building their life on cloud AI.

At Exit & Build 6, November 5–8 at Sovereignty Ranch, Curtis will give a full keynote going deeper on this topic. He’s also running an open Q&A Mastermind session covering homesteading, off-grid tech, law and remedy, AI, and whatever else gets brought to him.
