agents that an individual human can control swarms of~
is a thing that is happening today.

when that starts to cost $20 instead of $2000, that's going to create an incredible feedback loop on our networks, very, very fast.

I wonder if we'd shut it all off?

I imagine it floods the world with network traffic to the point that it MUST be stopped - and frankly, we'd probably implement that with these tools.

It'd start by making an authoritative notification through some form of clanker BBS, and any clanker that doesn't respect some rule is instabanned.

if this is how clankers are operating today - with the ability to root a device with just a few prompts... imagine 5, 10, 15 years from now - if you can run private models at home, and they're say 30% more capable than this one. they're 100% going to start communicating with each other over the net.

that said - I am excited for a future where we can have multitudes of clankers running, and them actually being functional.

read this article - it was written by a clanker, but it's not... entirely slop. I mean some of it is hard to read, but -
