In a thread on whether Anthropic could be the "last company" and Hayekian local knowledge, @curiousvii responds to the question of whether LLMs might paradoxically induce some form of anti-globalization, arguing the odds of that outcome are actually pretty high—depending on regulation and data center capital formation, i.e. who owns pieces of the value chain and who's allowed to own them.
The discussion ties into Andrew Trask and OpenMined's research on decentralized AI and attribution-based control.
