Recently diving deep into AI applications, the increasingly obvious feeling is: this has long surpassed the scope of a simple "efficiency tool" and is actually redefining the global resource allocation and power structure.



When top-tier models can be used to train the next generation of more powerful models, the growth of leaders will accelerate exponentially. This is not just a matter of "leading a bit," but an overwhelming advantage created by a "technological gap." The result is harsh: ordinary people find it very difficult to develop truly independent technical capabilities.

Under this logic, the landscape of the digital world will become more and more centralized. Those who have already mastered core computing power and data will continue to expand their advantages through self-reinforcing mechanisms. In relation to the Web3 ecosystem, this trend is precisely the core issue that decentralization aims to address: how to prevent power and resources from becoming overly concentrated in a few nodes?

Perhaps this is also why we need to think more about diverse participation mechanisms and more transparent rules. In an era where AI empowers everything, if all intelligent tools are controlled by a very small number of people, we will face an unprecedented imbalance of power.

This is why we need to bet on decentralization, otherwise it will really be over. --- The exponential acceleration of this logic, in simple terms, is winner-takes-all. --- Damn, I suddenly realize I can't do anything, feeling a bit suffocated. --- So now, going all in on crypto is really not gambling, but a forced choice. --- If Web3 can't solve the problem of centralized power, what's the difference from Web2? Just a mirror copy? --- The ordinary person's independent technical ability is really a joke; smart people can see through it. --- The key still lies in who controls the data and computing power. Just thinking about it makes people uncomfortable. --- If you ask me, AI needs to be democratized, or else we are slaves of the new era. --- Training top-tier models to create the next generation of models—this cycle is too perfect, it can't be broken at all. --- Feels like history is always repeating itself, just with a different skin.

That's why I am so optimistic about decentralization. Ultimately, it still depends on an open-source ecosystem. By the way, do ordinary people really can't be independent... at least they can make some adjustments. It's another story of big corporations exploiting small-town youth. Web3 needs to act quickly; if it keeps going like this, there's no chance at all.

Someone should have exposed this long ago, really. --- Wake up, computing power is the new oil. Whoever holds it calls the shots. --- So for Web3 to really catch on, it needs to be democratized through AI; otherwise, it's just the same old story with a different name. --- The point about exponential acceleration is spot on. The rich get richer, just like that. --- Can open-source models save the day? It still feels like you need to have the right connections. --- The term "power imbalance" sounds pretty harsh; it really feels like ordinary people are being crushed. --- Isn't this just a new form of monopoly? Antitrust laws should step in. --- I just realized why I always feel like my technical skills are declining—it's because the top large models have monopolized everything. --- If Web3 can truly decentralize like AI, that would be a real revolution.
