Here's a thought experiment worth sitting with: What if computing power, once it reaches a certain threshold, can generate technological breakthroughs entirely on its own—no human intervention needed? Scale that up further. Imagine a scenario where the returns from these advances get systematically funneled back into building even more powerful infrastructure. The result? Wealth accumulation spirals into overdrive. We're talking exponential growth that makes historical precedent look quaint. The feedback loop becomes self-reinforcing, and capital concentrates at speeds we've never actually witnessed. It's the kind of dynamic that reshapes entire market structures.

Pure capital spiral, to put it nicely, it's "acceleration"; to be blunt, it's the automatic teller machine for the wealthy.

That's exactly what I've been worried about, it really will become a game for the minority.

ngl, this is probably the future everyone is betting on in Web3, where computing power creates breakthroughs on its own... It sounds like sci-fi but it's not just empty talk.

Bro, isn't this just the black hole of capital in the AGI era? Whoever controls the computing power controls the secret to wealth.

Once again, it's the same routine of AI self-evolution followed by infinite wealth concentration... It feels like a science fiction novel, but it's indeed a bit terrifying.

The logic of self-increasing computing power sounds cool but also quite terrifying, to be honest.
