AI is making software hyperpersonalized. As “vibe-coded” tools and AI agents proliferate, they ingest our conversations, health data, company knowledge, and daily decisions. Yet almost all of this deeply personal software runs on centralized infrastructure owned by someone else. We are building the most customized software in history on systems that users neither understand nor control, quietly normalizing a future where autonomy is traded for convenience by default.<br><br>This talk makes a blunt claim: in the AI era, open source without owned execution is no longer enough. Privacy, agency, and freedom now depend on where software runs, not just how it is licensed. By combining local-first AI models, self-hosted infrastructure, and radically simplified user experience, we can make running your own compute as accessible as installing an app—without being a sysadmin. The next wave of open software will not win by ideology alone, but by giving people back control of their data, their programs, and the machines that think on their behalf.
