ah, Thanks! but what can a distributed system like this do? is this a fun to do, for the sake of doing it project or does it have practical applications? just curious about applicability thats all.

I'm going to get downvoted for saying the B-word, but I imagine this growing up into some kind of blockchain thing where the AI has some goal and once there's consensus that some bit of data would further that goal it goes in a block on the chain (which is then referenced by humans who also have that goal and also is used to fine tune the AI for the next round of inference). Events in the real world are slow enough that gradually converging on the next move over the course of a few days would probably be fine.

The advantage over centralizing the compute is that you can just connect your node and start contributing to the cause (both by providing compute and by being its eyes and hands out there in the real world), there's no confusion over things like who is paying the cloud compute bill and nobody has invested overmuch in hardware.
