# Decentralised computing
everyone run a k8s-like node on its computer, you have to pay using a decentralised currency to use part of the [[Computing]] of the world.
All the process is secured by the [[Blockchain]]
Basically shared, federated, decentralised computation.

typically it's fully decentralised so the person who will build this will probably earn 0 money, full fuck you money mode.
results:
- much lower computing prices
- [[Redundancy]] as happen in [[Organic reality]], [[Eco-system]]-like, [[Philosophy/Rationality/Models/Antifragility|antifragile]] [[Mental model|system]]
- Thus higher scale
This [[Physic/System/System|system]] is inevitable, a [[Computing]] [[Eco-system]] is the only way to achieve scale.
## What then with [[Brain computer interface]]?
It means we will be able to prostitute our [[Mind|mind]], just like employees currently do but more efficiently with [[Computing|computer]]s.
Say, Bob can rent his mind for an hour in exchange of 0.000000000000000000001 [[Bitcoin]], during this time he is put into a [[The Matrix]]-like tube
## messy
It's been a while I'm dreaming of a service where people can share their computing resources in exchange for a currency (yes it sounds like crypto, but crypto solely uses crypto for currencies, nothing else).
Imagine your phone is unusable for a few hours, but you earn 0.00000000000000000001 Ethereum in exchange :stuck_out_tongue: , someone is using your phone computing resources to train his artificial intelligence, for example.
(ps: I didn't write it, but human work is similar, we exchange currency in exchange for people brain computing)
Currently, computing is quite expensive and inaccessible, especially GPU, what is used to create artificial intelligence, but even CPU.
Basically the idea is a decentralized cloud, prices would be much cheaper and the volatility of the ecosystem would force software programs to be antifragile, just like systems do in nature.
Some people are trying to open source artificial intelligence, because most powerful models are proprietary and kept preciously by FAANGs, but it requires a lot of computing and thus money.
They seem to enable sharing computing resources for artificial intelligence based on blockchain solutions:

Also this, to share GPUs, but it's unrelated to blockchain IMHO:
