This sort of thing alarms me. Having a $bigcorp account becomes a ""social credit"" system where they can ban you from all your personal stuff if they decide that you (or your agents!) are doing stuff they don't like.

I take that more as the user is mixing business with pleasure. When i joined a company using `gcp` heavily, I didn't attach my personal gmail to it - I created a 'business' account and used that. Slightly inconvenient - agree, but it's on the individual to draw the distinctions.

There is still anecdata that Google "knows" you are the same person and will ban all accounts associated with you if you do something they don't like. And of course they never need to explain themselves or listen to your appeal.

And that's why it's very powerful to be able to run AI locally, even if less smart.
