Dev muses on a distributed model where every home runs its own tiny data center
rickasaurus · x · 2026-11-04
A developer floated the idea of giving every household a small compute unit, forming a distributed data center network instead of relying on centralized hyperscale facilities. He admits it doesn't make sense given scale efficiencies, but argues it would be far more robust — touching on the core trade-off between centralized AI compute and decentralized/distributed inference networks.
