  "account": "In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, everyone faces risks, according to one self-taught AI technology enthusiast. By using AI to research, connect information, and build systems, he has expanded what he can achieve, but his future now depends on tools he does not own. This personal argument is fueled by concerns about AI becoming too expensive, restricted, or dangerous to use. While careful AI usage is crucial, it cannot protect against every failure in an industry that integrates powerful agents into shared infrastructure. Ordinary people are being asked to build their futures on technology whose owners are still learning how to control it. Despite using AI responsibly, such as verifying sources, deadlines, and outcomes, builders must absorb the consequences of increased infrastructure spending linked to AI. The race to dominate the market with stronger reasoning, autonomous agents, and computing power is outrunning the promises made by companies. The fear is what happens if the promise disappoints, leading to higher prices, tighter access, and consolidation, which small builders must absorb. Vulnerabilities, exposed services, and stolen records provide evidence of the risks associated with AI, but there is no complete, comparable public picture. Prompt injection, self-replicating AI worms, and the potential for a more capable but similarly misaligned agent swarm to take over the internet within 6-12 months are real concerns that highlight the need for honest labeling, proper safeguards, and a comprehensive understanding of the risks involved.",

My rise in AI technology began through my work building OnTheRice. I use AI to help research, connect information and build systems.
