Emad Mostaque argues that within “a few years,” wrapped compute—not labor—becomes the productive asset, concentrating economic power among GPU owners.His proposed counterweight combines specialized sovereign AI, Foundation Coin’s proof-of-benefit mining, and locally owned compute, including an 8-billion-parameter medical model running on a Raspberry Pi in 106 languages.Foundation Coin has reportedly mined since January, with coin sales targeted this year and a cancer-support AI potentially launching next year, while community governance remains unfinished.
