Let me tell you something Ive seen on Farcaster several times, but it has been wrongly stated:
AGI will not be a single entity like a human or a simple bot on a single server; rather, it will be a networked intelligence spread across millions of machines worldwide. We can already see this trend in today’s large language models, such as GPT-4, which was trained on 25,000 GPUs and performs inference across 128 GPUs.
As a side note, blockchains are not as immutable or permanent as often claimed. For example, Ethereum blobs are deleted every 18 days, and with initiatives like EIP-4444 and The Purge, more of Ethereum will rely on non-blockchain peer-to-peer solutions like Bittorrent or Portal Network.
The only unique feature of blockchains is their ability to achieve strict global consensus in near real-time. However, with the advent of AGI, this capability becomes less relevant. AGIs can trivially achieve strict global consensus and even surpass it to reach more complex and subjective forms of consensus. 0 reply
