Own the chips; idle home compute should join the grid
X Spaces with Akash Network: Democratizing Compute on Subnet 27 (Nodexo)
“Considering AI is going to be the critical aspect of our lives every day, you have to own the chips. And when you own the chips, you’re not using them most of the time, and if there’s a mechanism for you to share your underutilized time in exchange for some economic reward, you can essentially create a P2P network of folks that own chips and folks that want to use chips… if there’s a device in the home that’s serving some desire of yours and there’s underutilized compute, that should be part of the grid — and ultimately we as users of AI should own the AI. That’s the real vision behind decentralized compute.” — 00:08:04
