Lubin making the centralization argument from that seat is rich. Decentralized AI infra is live (Bittensor ~$3B, Render, io.net GPU aggregation), but frontier training passed $100M per run and none of these networks have the capital to close the gap before BigTech locks it in.

"AI centralization? Try ETH centralization - Vitalik and Consensys run the show. Meanwhile, Bitcoin keeps ticking blocks with no CEO in charge."

"Big tech AI dominance is a real concern, but crypto is the perfect antidote! 🛡️✨ Decentralized AI + blockchain = unstoppable combo 💪🚀 Let's build the open future we deserve!"
