Thermo-backed CTO says AI is in its dial-up phase, touts disaggregated compute for an ultrafast 'broadband moment'

General Compute CTO Jason Goodison argues AI is in its 'dial-up phase' — people think it's normal to run a few agents and walk away while they work. The next stage is a 'broadband moment' where applications must be interactive and fast.
Key points:
- Disaggregated compute could deliver an 'ultrafast mode for everyone', including open-source models
- Fast inference hasn't yet reached open models or builders, blocking new product experiences
- Thermo, described as the neocloud that actually buys the necessary hardware, will play a role
