access to public data doesn't really mean much. A lot of training data already is public. Increasing computational resources and reducing the cost of communication always has a centralizing effect, for basic economic/energy/efficiency reasons, it increases the benefits of division of labor and returns at scale.
The history of technological process is a history of agglomeration and if web3 reduces barriers all it does is creates more, not less leverage for centralization, the same way the internet did after a short phase of disruption, or even book printing for that matter.
- fault1 5y agothis is all true, but consider a computing model that almost was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescript_(programming_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescript_(programming_langua... telescript was kinda of weird, but wildly ahead of its time. the idea was decentralized services and commercial activity, but centralizing computation due to power/energy efficiency. it was like a inverse jvm born at the transition from arpanet->nsfnet->internet, which greatly deregulated commercial activity. it was also born when mobile devices were almost tractible, though 14 years before the iphone. it almost birth the idea of an app store, except "apps" would be decentralized services people send/recv.
