A project called darkbloom allows users to connect MacBooks to a network for inference and earn money ($200-$500/month). The author tested it on an M1 Pro 32GB, finding setup took only 5 minutes. While disk space limited the run, the basic feasibility was confirmed. The economics of decentralized compute seem promising, though security remains a key factor.
