Will AI Take Your Job? I Keep Thinking About A Different Question

Every time AI comes up, the conversation goes in the same direction. People debate which jobs are safe, which jobs are at risk, and which industries change the most.

I understand why. But when I look at AI today, my attention keeps drifting toward the infrastructure underneath it.

Every AI request needs compute. It needs a network. It needs systems that process, verify, and deliver results. The applications get most of the attention, but none of them exist without the layer supporting them.

That's one reason @OpenGradient stands out to me. More than 100 developers deploy over 2,000 models on the network, while millions of verifiable inferences and hundreds of thousands of cryptographic proofs are already being processed. At that scale, I stop asking whether AI infrastructure matters and start asking what happens when thousands of models compete for usage on the same network.

That question changes how I look at $OPG Most discussions focus on what AI can do. I keep looking at what AI depends on. Models improve, interfaces change, and new applications appear every week. The infrastructure connecting developers, applications, and users tends to stay relevant much longer.

The internet creates enormous value around platforms, marketplaces, and networks. AI seems to be building its own version of that stack.

Maybe the future isn't only about who uses AI.

Maybe it's also about who participates in the infrastructure making AI possible.
