20 hyperscalers is the mainframe problem all over again
Scaling Web3 and AI through DePIN with Greg Osuri! (Secret Network)
“Internet was created in the ’60s to combat the centralization of data centers… because we had large mainframes and people were like, this is not good, because one mainframe gets attacked, we’re done. The same thing is happening — we have 20 hyperscalers. It’s not good, because they get attacked, you’re done. So the best thing you can do is, number one, distribute AI as much as possible. AI should be with everyone, not with anyone.” — 00:40:36
Context: Answering “best case scenario in five years”; concentration of AI in ~20 known US hyperscaler regions is a geopolitical/military vulnerability.
