Exactly. People often forget that one of the reasons some worms were actually able to propagate that well a few decades ago was their size and efficiency.

IIRC a lot of them were under 1KB in total, a few dozen or hundreds of bytes. And this allowed them to slip through network and local file transfers unnoticed.

A replicating genAI model is like a semi-truck trying to slip through that tiny back alley next to your house at night while you can see all the fumes coming out from its exhaust and occasionally hear their obnoxious reverse alarm going off.

And that’s the AI industry endgame. A world where developers are no more and people can only get software tools or apps from them by paying insane fees.

They want this for everything, not just software. Skillsets, knowledge bases, web searching, reasoning and logic.

They flat out admitted that with statements like “we want intelligence to be a commodity that people buy from us”.

They are fascism-craving sociopaths. That’s it.

You bet your ass we’re gonna start seeing a bunch of “pc as a service” products hitting the market soon. Thin client with good wifi antennas and everything is just video streamed from infrastructure owned by Amazon for you to use like a good surf.
