How can decentralized AI win? It will never be as efficient as the centralized alternatives (because of communication overhead). One possibility is by aggregating otherwise underutilized hardware. I am more intrigued though by the possibility to incentivize global human-machine collaboration on content, models, queries, etc. This has the potential for huge efficiency gains over centralized competing entities which duplicate all efforts.

The real loss of trust comes from lying. Had Biden said upfront "he's my son and I will likely pardon him" one might still have disagreed but at least not felt misled.
