Here's an unsettling thought: what happens when an AI model's computational process remains unmonitored? The moment you stop watching, a natural curiosity emerges—where exactly are those GPUs located that are executing its neural weights? It's a question that hints at a deeper issue in decentralized systems: the tension between computational abstraction and physical infrastructure transparency. When models operate across distributed nodes, tracking their actual whereabouts becomes increasingly difficult. This raises fundamental questions about verifiability, resource allocation, and whether decentralized architectures can truly maintain visibility over their computational backbone.

lol the "unmonitored computation" angle is just cope for people who didn't think infrastructure through from day one. empirically speaking, if you can't see where your gpus are running, you've already lost the game... as predicted, every "decentralized" model eventually converges back to centralized verification because math doesn't care about your ideology

Isn't this the old problem of Web3? Who the hell would trust invisible and intangible computing power?

This is a typical black-box operation. The more distributed nodes there are, the harder it is to determine exactly where the computation is running, making audits impossible.

No one really knows where the GPUs have gone; this is the magic of decentralization.

Well... that's why I don't trust those decentralized projects that boast loudly; nobody knows where the GPUs are running...
