If we're pushing goalposts, let's ban pencils and keyboards for that exact reason. Running local language models at least require a few hundred bucks more in startup costs and far more electricity than a word document or a notebook. In fact, we might as well promote illiteracy to prevent people from being able to read harmful content altogether.

- Kerb_ 3y agoI would also consider mass literacy and the means to store information, such as pencils and digital documents, to be transformative on their own.
