> Who is going to own the computers? Most of the computational power I have access to, I rent from Amazon...

  There are literally hundreds of alternatives sprouting from the ground as raw materials and services become cheaper and cheaper. Amazon certainly hasn't monopolised on the computational power market. Increasingly, much of the computational power is becoming decentralised anyway with the blockchain emerging in new and creative ways

    Amazon isn't the only game in town, but I would argue that most computational power, like any means of production, is owned by Capital.

      Yes, it's a paid service, because they used their initiative, knowledge and finance to physically build their data centers. If that's what you are referring to by 'owned by Capital'

        I think if you put finance at the top of the list, we'd be in agreement.
