If #AI is in a railway mania bubble, where's its lasting decentralised infrastructure?
Compute data centers are a question mark tied up with how fast the software is evolving. Maybe GPUs are the thing, maybe it's overall memory, just put something inside a box that can be kept cool and electrified. We're investing in racks with wires and tubes.

Is it the phones we carry in our pockets? People can't afford those as prices go up. Chips are too much of a monopoly where it's easier to just keep making the same hardware and collect more money for it. Capitalism is failing on these fronts, so what's the role of public or cooperative investment in this #AI railway? Where's the middle ground between the gigafactories and the tiny pockets of compute?
