It’s kind of ironic watching AI companies push for openness, then panic when the internet does what it always does — break things, remix them, and expose cracks.

I’m just building a small project for chatting with strangers online (stranger-meet.com), and even in that low-stakes space, I’m seeing how fast the AI landscape is shifting — legally, technically, ethically. The gap between “playground innovation” and “corporate lockdown” is getting wild.

Feels like we’re entering the phase where AI companies start closing doors they once bragged about opening.
