I actually believe being a luddite IS the answer. If enough people actually really cared about this and had the means, it could be destroyed. I think at some point it will become so bad that more and more people will realize how dangerous this is and fight back, at which point there will be luddite-like occurrences of mass deleting.

I'm having a terrible case of The Baader–Meinhof phenomenon with people saying this the last couple of weeks, and I have never seen it explained.

Well Dune is pretty popular, many people have probably mentioned it. In the series humanity ends up going to a long war against sentient machines, which they win. All machines and computers are destroyed and laws are created so anyone who builds a computer, even as simple as a calculator, is sentenced to death.

I have a mindset where I prefer everyone to have a gun, instead of select few. If AIs get limited and only governments/researchers etc. have access, as usual the rich and powerful will control it. I don‘t want that.

That might become a realistic scenario. Massive scale high performance compute & memory becoming a tightly controlled resource to avoid private creation of AI.
