I think on the cyber side the bigger price would be the entire electric grid. I think sophisticated actors like meta probably have better cybersecurity than say a regional grid operator controlling the utilities

All this infrastructure will be obsolete as soon as China develops AI ASIC's and tuned models.
The future is local AI, not centralized datacenters. Eat your heart out Wall Street!

I think that’s naive. Most people are lazy, they won’t be self hosting GPUs and their own data imo. Will likely defer to the “ai cloud” like they currently do for Microsoft azure, Google cloud, AWS etc
There will be some cypher punk options but I think for 90%+ of the population they will be too lazy and not care about data privacy tradeoffs

I don't think it's naive at all.

Imo there is a larger technical and UX barrier than running your own node or even self mining.
The current hobbyists I think are a fraction and will remain a fraction of “ai users”
People will accept a free for data / ads exchange similar to search imo
