Thank for starting a thinking thread. The way I thought about this was everything is preset, model, data (prepared, cleaned) and we cannot prevent duplicate training but find a way to get the most recent weights is of now and share it when possible to synchronize; most recent weights always available on torrent. Now addressing your questions
A) how do I trust the weights passes along is when we can use the crypto proof of stake for which we need some kind of coin I suppose.
B) dataset is prepared so, it’s open. I don’t know if that helps or not
C) What has this to do with content creators ? You mean when content creators use the model, they get coins ? I have not thought about that angle.
This can be a fun conversation and discussion.
