"In our time, crypto and AI are believed to be studies in contrasts; but how crypto achieved decentralization could inspire open-source AI builders, too. Both have the same idea of exit. Crypto lets anyone hold their own keys; open-source AI differs from its closed-source counterpart by letting anyone download model weights, the billions of numbers that underlie a model itself, and run or fine-tune it however they want. But while Bitcoin was built after the dollar’s monopoly was in place, the opportunity to build open-source AI is here before the monopolies (or oligopolies) have fully formed. For a new generation of punks, that opportunity to set frontier intelligence free is calling." https://arenamag.com/articles/punked
