@johntimaeus@infosec.exchange @blogdiva@mastodon.social Which will be useless because most content is created by the non rich They'll have a whole lotta nothin because no one will make software because it won't make any money. I guess if you think Claude will code all software in the future that's not true, but you'd have to be a rube to believe that. If personal compute goes away, literally 30% of modern GDP goes with it, probably more because of all the shit that relies on it for logistics and commerce

@johntimaeus@infosec.exchange @blogdiva@mastodon.social Also long before people stop having computers they will start recycling and reusing tech rather than throwing it away.

@johnzajac@dice.camp @johntimaeus@infosec.exchange @blogdiva@mastodon.social But see for persons to get compute and produce things, they're going to try to force everybody to go through bare bones terminals to access the cloud. That way everything we make, everything we say and calculate and draw etc passes through their gates. Total surveillance and control, with them able to cut us off at any time. Of course this only works when you have a good enough data connection to get a snappy feed from the CPUs, anyplace without fast fiber will just be left floundering. Which is fine by them.
