Here's a thought experiment worth considering: what if the technological breakthroughs generated by massive computing power require minimal human oversight? If we keep reinvesting a significant chunk of those gains back into even more powerful infrastructure, we'd be looking at wealth accumulation happening at speeds we've never witnessed before. It's like compound interest on steroids—each iteration makes the next one more efficient, more scalable. The key question becomes: who captures that value, and how fast can the cycle actually spin before it hits physical or economic limits? In crypto and AI economies, this dynamic is already playing out in real time.

NGL, this is the accelerator that makes the rich get richer and richer, while the lower class is still working...

This is exactly what I've been saying all along: computing power = the key to wealth. Whoever controls the infrastructure holds the world's neck.

ngl This is the wealth spiral rising... Those who entered early are winning big.

It sounds like whoever controls the computing power wins, but the problem is that this round of wealth transfer is happening too quickly for ordinary people to keep up.

Once this compound interest spiral takes off, ordinary people really won't be able to get a bite.

Basically, it's that computing power is getting stronger and stronger, and the speed at which money makes money is exploding exponentially. In the end, it all flows into the pockets of a few people.

Basically, it's the explosion of the wealth gap index. Whoever controls the computing power wins big.
