Single nodes might seem limited—slow, basic, lacking full visibility. But here's what changes everything: scale them horizontally. Neural networks prove this every day. Add more GPUs, watch intelligence multiply. Same principle applies everywhere else. You don't architect around individual machine constraints; you architect around the network as a whole. The intelligence emerges from density, from coordination. Stop optimizing for perfection at single-node level. Start shipping systems built to grow, systems that get smarter as you stack more compute. That's how you actually win.

honestly the single-node optimization trap is real... but theoretically exploitable if you're not auditing coordination overhead. what about byzantine failures at scale? feels like this glosses over the messy parts

That's right, single-point optimization is a false proposition. Network effects are the key, and stacking resources is the way to go.

That's right, the standalone optimization approach is outdated; it's just about stacking computing power. But the real question is, how many projects can truly achieve this level of coordination?

This approach is correct; the single-point optimization method should have been discarded long ago.

Well said, the logic is just about stacking resources. No matter how powerful a single machine is, it's useless without network collaboration. Those who understand, understand.

Stacking is all it takes; when scaled up properly, intelligent emergence occurs.
