Thinking On Paper AI Power Shift: How Compute Became the New Currency | GPUS, Tokenization & Profit | Kony Kwong, GAIB
Compute has become the new oil. Whoever controls it, controls the future of intelligence.
In this episode of Thinking on Paper, Jeremy and Mark sit down with Kony, CEO of GAIB, to unpack the real shift happening in artificial intelligence: power itself is being redistributed.
GAIB is turning GPUs, the hardware behind every model, every chatbot, every act of machine cognition, into financial assets. It’s a new market built on the infrastructure of thought. Tokenized compute. Real yield. Shared ownership of the AI supply chain.
But beneath the economics sits a harder question: When intelligence becomes a currency, what happens to human value?
This conversation moves from the architecture of data centers to the architecture of power—how control over compute defines who gets to participate in the next phase of civilization, and what remains for the rest of us.
AI Power Shift: How Compute Became the New Currency.
Listen. Think. Then decide who should own the machines.
Please enjoy the show. And share with an AI friend.
Stay curious. Stay disruptive. Keep Thinking on Paper.
Thanks
