Threaten in the sense that it competes with, and is built under a different economic system. Got the free market folk all ruffled because it isn't playing the game the way they want it played.

It has it's own limitations of course, and the full strength version isn't quite 'run at home' but it is pretty close, and there are weaker versions that can even be run on an SBC (if slowly). It's definitely in reach of the enthusiast though.

It's also supposed to have some strong reasoning capabilities (haven't tested myself yet) which is a big thing compared to your common or garden chat bots that at best sometimes know facts.
