@LokiTheCat it allows people to share their docs into the federation and then other people add stuff and it becomes the corpus of the sector - osint/comp intel, indexes, specialized insular industry info but all these people are working together for the greater good - you can run bigger models and they can be trained on docs specific to your sector so you get better answers #semantic tags #metadata #filtered lists #bloomberg termial killer #rag pipelines #trends #real time dashboards #distributed inference #localai

"The power plant of the future isn't a smokestack. It's all around your home." - Futurist Jim Carroll

The global energy grid is in the midst of its most profound transformation in a century.

For decades, our model has been simple: massive, centralized power stations push electricity in one direction to passive consumers. That era is decisively ending. We are witnessing a fundamental shift from a one-way delivery monologue to a multi-directional energy grid. The power plant of the future is no longer a distant smokestack; it's the solar panels on your roof, the battery in your garage, and the smart devices throughout your home.

I must admit, it's kind of bizarre writing about this right now because the trend is real, and yet one nation is busy turning its back on the reality of the trend (and many other things.)

So let's consider this from a global perspective!

This evolution toward intelligent, multi-directional networks represents a critical inflection point over the next five years. It’s a transition creating enormous business opportunities that extend far beyond simple hardware to encompass sophisticated, data-driven services. Here's a PDF that explores it.

Essentially, it's being a centralized grid, to a decentralized, distributed grid, with millions of energy inputs.

So what's it all about? Continuing on the energy theme from yesterday, this transformation isn't happening by accident. It's being propelled by three powerful, interconnected forces I call the "Three Ds":

Decarbonization: Despite some areas with political pushback, the world is aggressively shifting from fossil fuels to renewables.

Decentralization: Energy is now being generated, stored, and managed closer to where it's consumed. This gives rise to the "prosumer"—an active participant who both produces and consumes energy.

Digitalization: We're embedding intelligence into the network. Smart meters, IoT sensors, and advanced software are creating a responsive, "aware" grid where electricity and data flow in both directions.

The shift is pretty profound. In the old paradigm, you were a passive consumer with little control. Energy got sent to you. The new reality empowers you as a "prosumer." in which you contribute your energy when available.

Think of it this way - various groups right now are building smart home thermostats that manage your batteries and power generation - and become the next billion-dollar industry by doing so.

Part2:
duplicated.

In a global context, China is deeply integrated. However,
as a major player and part of world, it must better
manage its risks.

Human consciousness, the most significant example of a
centralized system, involves processes we still don’t
fully understand. Sleep and dreaming may serve as
mechanisms to reset the system, enhancing stability and
preventing sys. “hanging”.

China’s history of ambitious projects can be seen as a
form of “sleeping” and updating, aimed at
maintaining internal stability.

The world needs a more open and balanced China 🇨🇳 as
generalist.
OR! We need world more socialistic, not so capitalistic.
But how?

Part1:

The “global arms race” we see today is driven by China’s
🇨🇳 a “combat pose.” No one knows whether this is a
preparation for agression or just kung fu type of
meditation.

There are two primary types of systems: generalist and
specialist, distributed or centralized is a kind of
it. China 🇨🇳 is a centralized specialist system, that
hanging on profitability and don't see core system
risks.

Centralized systems excel at managing countable and
predictable risks. Main problem is that core is
difficult to reset or replicate but relatively
inexpensive to maintain.

Distributed systems, are effective at handling
widespread, sudden events because their components are
