I’m kinda surprised we still don’t have publicly funded and run cloud yet and really only available in the academic settings if you’re affiliated with a university or research lab (and even then each of those have their own spins with lots of duplication).
Some of these decentralized and open source projects (eg gridcoin.us, or golem.network and akash.network) seem like interesting ideas that would benefit with a public/private incentive system too. Perhaps giving some finite compute to experiment with at little to no cost. Others can donate or are incentivized to provide unused compute.
There’s so much unused / underutilized resources out there that it would be a great boon to somehow make that available and further reduce barriers to entry. Aside from that it’s just a really interesting problem that intersects a lot of different areas.
