There are already groups in every major city that refurbish computers for free and run component libraries. They will simply become ubiquitous
Phones and PCs no longer lose value. People will no longer demand 100x the computing power they actually need. Brick phones will proliferate
The panopticon will...have nothing to look at
FAANG will cease to exist, but so will Palantir and all the other data scrapers. LLMs will fail for lack of published human-made material

@johnzajac@dice.camp @johntimaeus@infosec.exchange @blogdiva@mastodon.social It’s still an interesting gamble: They are trying to convert a consumer economy into an elite economy. (Back to feudalism essentially) They are betting that they don’t need demand from us any more, but can just keep selling ultra-expensive things to the ultra-rich. That’s what’s going on IMO.
