The tech exists - peer-to-peer GPU compute.
Plenty of options, many already in deployment.
I don’t think you need a dedicated power grid any more than you would for say refrigerators. Beyond mongering of various types I don’t get the energy consumption take.
For example the idea that AI consumes rare earths isn’t true lmao that’s batteries. Saw that in the article :/

They’re not ahead on code though, and they recently announced giving up on rich media AI entirely lmao
The fuck does OpenAI have to offer?
Nothing I need.
The only reason Gemini is the best is UX, really running my own Mistral 7b is more than fine.
Because slow ass Gemini is still a slightly more convenient experience I use that.
Nobody OWNS nor will own the means of essentially thoughts. It’s such a silly idea I wonder if it’s propaganda.
