Could AI training work like Bitcoin? A compute-voting thought experiment
dbasch · x · 2026-09-15
dbasch floats a thought experiment: a decentralized training/inference framework modeled on Bitcoin, where participants vote on research direction with their compute power. It would be globally distributed, and a 51% attack would be against nobody's interest. No technical implementation is proposed.
