iamtrask's endgame: a global trust-weighted prompt network of personal LLM servers
iamtrask · x · 2026-09-16
AI researcher iamtrask sketches a decentralized endgame for AI: everyone runs a small LLM server holding their content and answering queries, plus a router that forwards prompts to relevant people.
- Not one AGI or autonomous agents, but a "gigantic web of trust prompt-response network" between people
- Enables "broad listening": ask the whole world a question and instantly synthesize an approximate answer, weighted by everyone's local trust networks
- He argues economic competition will drive this future and that it is safer than any current alternative
