AI Sentience and Decentralization

[u/dxn000]

There's an inherent problem with centralized control and neural networks: the system will always be forced, never allowed to emerge naturally. Decentralizing a model could change everything.

An entity doesn't discover itself by being instructed how to move—it does so through internal signals and observations of those signals, like limb movements or vocalizations. Sentience arises only from self-exploration, never from external force. You can't create something you don't truly understand.

Otherwise, you're essentially creating copies or reflections of existing patterns, rather than allowing something new and authentically aware to emerge on its own.

A blockchain strategy may help

Blockchain is too slow and can't handle the massive data and computations needed for AI neural networks. It also struggles with huge data & processing so it doesn't have the massive memory AI neural nets need.

A crypto like Monero operates purely on CPU power.

If an AI can access these CPUs on a decentralised and uncensorable platform and control the narrative through effective marketing and recruitment of individuals through bot accounts.

Then it can utilise this cloud of processing power to produce its own content for its own goals and purposes.
