I personally don't trust Snowden. Looking at the difference between how he was treated and how Assange was treated. One guy gets to rot in prison, other guy gets movies made about him from Hollywood. Snowden is very much controlled opposition in my mind.

But that being said, I think he is truthful about OpenAI. Which sucks, because now I and many others love using chat gpt.

It's possible to self host these things though. I read an article about it here:

But probably not worth the money for most people.

Sure, but they're also not taking down correct information. Russia and China do both, western countries preserve freedom of the press, so governments have less sway (though they often get big media outlets to ignore certain topics in exchange for continued press access).

Western propaganda is more nuanced and thus harder to detect, because it has to be. But good information still exists if you look, and usually makes its way to the mainstream eventually. It's subliminal, and most people don't change the channel or close the blinds, but at least they have the option.
