    This isn’t sustainable. Almost all of our infrastructure runs on computers and eventually it will reach a point where you have a computer in charge of vital infrastructure that won’t be able to buy replacement part and it’ll just fail.

      nah all of the datacenters they build for AI, will come to use then.

      they will say"Need computing? Don’t worry, just rent from us, for an ever increasing and enshittifying subscription"

        You can’t interact with a computer in the cloud though without some kind of computer in front of you.

          We’ll just return to terminals. Just a screen, and input devices connected to a server :(

            Right but surely you still need a CPU and RAM at the very least to process the Remote Desktop connection.

              I bit of ram, but then I’d imagine you only need some purpose built chip for the connection, input and display logic. Effectively you’d need little more than a chrome cast-like device.
