Imagining the Future of Decentralized AI
srimisra · x · 2026-07-14
This episode explores whether frontier AI must inevitably belong to big tech. Jake Brukhman from CoinFund suggests a more decentralized AI ecosystem could emerge, where models are tokenized and revenue is collectively held by the public rather than entirely controlled by a few major corporations.
The discussion also touches on two specific directions: putting more AI assets and revenue streams onchain, and using "agent swarms" to quickly solve restricted or censored problems. The core theme is examining AI's technological evolution alongside its ownership structures and incentive mechanisms.
