Demolishing AI Gatekeepers
summary
Claim: Big Tech blocks AI progress by locking training data, GPUs and talent behind walled gardens and quotas — startups often get ~10 GPUs and VCs back companies with access, while top hires command ~$10M sign‑on offers. Proposed fixes use Web3 and Superchain-style tooling to publish verifiable on‑chain sensor data, run a peer GPU marketplace, enable zero‑knowledge private training so models and datasets stay confidential, and create decentralized sensor networks (pollution, RFID) that feed provable training corpora and insurance products.
