Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Erik Voorhees of Venice AI. They discuss how Venice takes a different approach to the Big Tech AI options: namely, it does not have access to your prompts, and it does not censor them. Along the way they discuss how surveillance and censorship manifests in the paternalistic AI industry, the future of open-source AI models, the IP question of AI, and why regulating AI might have unintended side effects.
