Trebor Scholz: Stuck in the gig economy? Try platform co-ops instead | TED

Co-ops date back almost 200 years, run by groups of people that work together to own and operate a company.

Use cryptos. Decentralized crypto is more democratic than centralized Federal Reserve dollar owned by the greedy billionaires.

Hierarchy by itself is not a problem as long as it is not privileged , not orchestrated and not ossified!! If the economy promotes social mobility it is (somewhat) palatable!!.

I love it.

But what does that mean probably, when in competition with “capitalist” or “individualist” enterprise? These nice people will give themselves solid salaries and offer a solid price to their customer. Plus some small amount to run the platform and pay the management. So what does the individualist industrialist do with that exhorbitant 50 per cent markup that he/she takes from the workers? Pays lawyers and lobbyists to make regulation and obstacles go away. Pays amazing accounts to make taxes (mostly) go away. Pays development team and invests into innovation (robotic house cleaners, robotic taxis or whatever). And pays for advertisement so that the customers will know almost exclusively them. Attracts investors that will foot additional costs for developement and growth.

I feel like I know where this is going. Still, I would support that idea gladly, but the closest digital co-op is like 500 km from where I live.

Co-op work places and co-op living spaces can be a viable solution for the continuous privatization of our natural resources now shifting to real estate and other commodities.

Meet the startup helping Wall Street put a price on AI compute | Equity Podcast

The AI buildout shows no signs of slowing. And with hundreds of billions of dollars a year going into data centers and GPUs, compute has become the single biggest cost for anyone building AI products. But for all that spending, there still isn’t a straightforward way to put a price on compute — or for…

Silicon Data just closed a $30 million Series A to change that. The startup aims to become the reference price for GPU rental and an index that a Wall Street futures contract would settle against. The company plans to launch its compute futures trading on the CME October 5th, pending regulatory approval.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan is joined by Steve Hou, head of research at Silicon Data, to discuss the health of the AI buildout, and why the data is telling a different story than the doom and gloom headlines about depreciating chips and stalled data centers.
