how are intelligence these ai societies? trillions dollars to ask even nuclear plants when CEO can use one more single neuron to introduce p2p or even blockchain AI of our smartphones/computers that are 24/7 open to be used instead of hundreds thousand accelerators, with more than 2 billions pcs connected to internet over 20% are always on, with next future cpu that will have AI like AI HX 370 strix point/halo or next intel cpus  or even apple M series they can even remove these centers always hungry of GWh giving the chance to users of own pcs/phones to give access to use the AI part of the processor to create an AI global network (according ethic use!)
