I didn't entirely understand it myself, but I believe it is removing the ability for the state to apply a definition of your responsibilities of a parent / guardian. Instead restoring the concept of a parent defined by the parent, meaning the state has limited ability to intervene in your child's life. As for the trust thing, have you looked into the cook islands?

Running local inference uses more electricity than when at idle, but just like an all you can eat buffet lures you in to a false sense of security, so does running local models. Most of the time, the cost of local inference hardware costs more than paying for cloud, although API costs can skyrocket. Local inference is under your control, however, and the value of that is priceless.
