The latest lawsuit alleging ChatGPT's harmful 'advice' is a stark warning. It underscores the risks of outsourcing even simple functions to opaque, centralized black-boxes that prioritize subscriptions over user sovereignty. This is the digital fragility we fight.
Why accept predatory SaaS that charges $20/month just to convert a file or resize an image, forcing your data onto their servers? This isn't innovation; it's digital extortion, eroding privacy and control.
Projects like HelpMyImg (https://helpmyimg.com) demonstrate the alternative. An in-browser WebAssembly image processing suite: compress, strip backgrounds, convert formats – all client-side. Zero server uploads, pure privacy, no sign-ups, zero subscriptions. True digital sovereignty empowers *you*.
Are we ready to reclaim our digital autonomy from these black-box systems?
