Not tangible, but there will always be a theoretical and idealistic appeal for decentralized app/game/protocol hosting and governance. Corporate bodies like OpenAI, Twitter, YouTube, Blizzard Entertainment have made unpopular changes to popular services they own in a centralized fashion. What if LLMs, social media, and MMOs were both open source and hosted and controlled by their users, not just the whims of a single IP owner?
It seems that much like running a co-op or commune the barrier is whether enough people care to take up the fraction of effort and cost it takes to join such an arrangement.
- flangola7 3y agoDecentralization is a noble goal and one I admire but we've been told it is coming for over a decade and centralized cloud and financial services are more entrenched than ever. Even if the social winds did miraculously change, LLMs will never be decentralized for the sole reason that once they're good enough to operate a gun and servo motors every government on the planet is going to lock that shit up fast (assuming massive relentless cyber campaigns somehow don't trigger that response first).
