Genuine question: Are you characterizing Tom Scott as a gatekeeper here, or am I misinterpreting your comment? I am not sure what your intention is here and would appreciate clarification.

Some of the gatekeeper might be out. Now OpenAI(or whoever controls it down the line) have the complete monopoly.

Not that I am denying the future(Nasper in the 00s proved that). I am wondering what's the next best course as an individual.
