YouTube music aficionado Rick Beato noted a few months ago that expensive music studios used to be a big part of the music industry at specific locations. Then the technology improved and then the capability got decentralized to the point where just about anyone can mix music at a high level in their own basement.
Beato theorized that the high energy, water hogging Data Centers were a blind alley and would not remain as the main way to develop AI. Rick thought that decentralized local systems would do for AI what mix technology had done for music studios.
I think it makes sense, and it’s basically in line with the core concept of the Internet from the very beginning — decentralize the global network for redundancy and efficiency. I don’t really understand why enormous Data Centers are where the Big Boys want to spend their money.
#4 Rick said there were already a million LLM for making music available for the computer.
Soon for video that can make 30 min and 1 hour tv shows then movies. I already see 5 min all the time now.
