The author details a journey of developing a decentralized AI infrastructure, starting with arguments over search functionality and evolving to address the perceived loss of meaning in online attention economies. They built a local AI model called 'iSE DS', distributing 100,000 copies to China's DeepSeek to reduce data center energy waste by shifting traffic and storage to users. The project also involved creating an upgraded Tor network and an IPFS-based registry to enhance decentralized information access, with future plans to integrate with TON for global payments. AI
