Fine exploration, but I don't think we have even scratched the surface yet in regards to how creative we can become. In ..let's say, 1 year, you can create your own kernel/OS from scratch if you want to. No more proprietary drivers needed, all distributed/federated systems integrated into a full net v2, etc..
[politics coming up] AI suddenly gives everyone super powers, and while the Epstein class have the best gear, the people have combined compute to beat them. Unfortunately, too many are reacting with knee-jerk anger on the tool, or if it's 'intelligent' or not, and can't see that we need to change a dead-weigh ideology that are the root cause of the AI 'problems'. They really should use some time exploring how they can use AI to steer society in a less harmful direction where rich psychopaths can't set the direction for everyone else, and where we are not dependent on corporate psychos, 'copyright', wage-slavery jobs and similar idiotic patches to keep this ideological garbage barge floating.
In one year, we'll all be waiting for your own custom kernel and OS. We definitely need more competition in the space.
The current AI hype train is exactly what steers society in the direction opposite of what you seem to want. It gives companies an excuse to fire people without taking accountability, and it gives employers an excuse to try to cut wages.
If it were as powerful as you seem to be implying, it would make software devs some of the most valuable workers on the planet. One dev would be capable of doing what entire teams were capable of before. Everyone would want to hire all the devs on the planet and churn out software at an accelerating pace to try to overtake all their competitors. Do you feel that software devs are, in fact, that valuable? Because I just see people getting fired, pay being cut, and workloads increasing to abusive levels.
