Every tech era has its big reveal. It’s a cathedral moment. Printing press ink on a monk’s hands. Telegraph wires buzzing across the prairie. The cold, indifferent hum of a data center. Those you could touch.
Now the cathedral is invisible. It’s not a machine you marvel at; it’s the infrastructure running quietly in your pocket. It’s compute; massive, industrial-scale processing power. Whoever has it can train, steer, and deploy the models. And these aren’t just “cool demos.” They’re prototypes of tomorrow’s operating system for society. Forget oil or steel. The new geopolitics is GPUs.
