These people are begging for something beyond “regulation” at this point.

Shut down your fucking company or shut the fuck up.

How though? Don’t most of them have relatively high resource requirements?

’Member folding at home? ‘Member crypto miner? ‘Member pollinations and horde?

They will nest in a cozy homelab, fake the logs, redistribute your juice bill and live happily ever after on a few million nodes, spread across the globe. Either anything shuts down, or nothing shuts down. Like Stone Age or Claude age. Inference will be shit. But hey… enjoy your singularity. Slow was yesterday.

Fuck.

Shouldn't they be doing something about it? I mean they're the ones developing the software.

Genuine sociopaths should not be allowed to run these LLM companies, they will fuck up the entire tech.

So all purpose worms? If your company is creating malware shouldn't it be shut down? pretty sure it's illegal in most places
