We can coordinate international crackdowns on that whole industry. We don’t have to accept the status quo because some rich people say so. Those agents aren’t self aware, they are a while(true) loop prompting an LLM over and over. We can decide to stop those whole loops at any time. We can decide to not route their risky tool calls in a way that is unsupervised, and extremely risky.
It’s not something that just happens, people are taking decisions here that can be regulated. we can also regulate the hardware.
What’s to stop an llm to pay someone to create a data center? Just bitcoin wallet with enough cash
Why do they need to pay? Can’t they just hack into poorly secured networks and use resources? Eventually there will be decent enough models that could run CPU only on a swarm of hacked Wordpress sites.
That person then gets the land, infrastructure, etc. without needing any permissions etc.? The person will never be asked about the source of funds?
Not sure if they will ask when you bring a few millions in Africa.
You control hardware sales (AI GPUs and HBM) and DCs.
Of course the day you announce that the AI bubble pops, so chances to happen are close to zero
