How is that contradictory? It seems like a repeat of the (original, now eroded) vision of the newfangled Personal Computer as democratizing certain kinds of production:

1. It's open/accessible/etc. because it's easy for anybody to have.

2. But their is not open/accessible/etc. to strangers. Each person's PC/AI/etc. should be theirs to own, it should express their will and guard their interests... not somebody else's.

Similarly, "affordable housing" isn't the same as "you can pay $5 to crash in anybody's bedroom."
