There’s a saying, 'Fuck around and find out,' which pretty much sums up humanity’s response to warnings like this.

SELL!

how can 3rd party application bring Windows to BSOD?

With upcoming new AI video compression formats, improving on existing perhaps by order of magnitude, I hope we will see, maybe 10 years from now, something like "Movie USB disk", containing all essential movies and TV shows ever created. It might need 200 TB - 1 PB, depending on language. This disk, readily copied among people on specialized $5 devices, shared and updated online, will be THE solution of media access problem. The Pirate Bay In Your Pocket.

they are disrupting the core idea of "support",which old-fart companies used to provide.

Corporations are concentrating such power, that they don't hesitate to go directly against nation states, except USA and EU (so far) even UK after Brexit have no capability to enforce anything to them. Corporations are already involved in all major legislature being introduced and media (public opinion). This is far from democracy, and it is only getting worse.

Also, RAM can be vector of attack, when used by government actors. For example, memory chip can detect I wrote some specific sequence of values and dump me entire RAM to some region accessible by me.

I think model size is the issue only because the current LLM works on classical computers where RAM is separate from CPU. A future LLM chip might use a more suitable architecture where parameters will be uploaded directly into the CPU, like a huge “microcode”. That way it will work much faster and can be integrated into low-powered devices like phones, even with hundreds of billions of parameters. The real question is why anybody would run LLM on the phone when cloud seems much more convenient when it comes to upgrades, power usage, etc.

This sort of driver bugs is what makes difference between real $300 branded phone and cheap $100 no-name phone.

The premise of your argument is basically, "They have to do what I want because the decision they already made led to an imperfect situation."

Not quite. It didn't lead to an "imperfect" situation, it led to a disastrous situation.

You're ignoring completely that the decision they made was in response to an already-imperfect situation.

Not really. It was made to remedy an imaginary problem.

Go replaced C++ on the server

This is not entirely correct. Go is not really used in the places where C++ is used.

Yeah, and real men don't buy food in stores or restaurants, they hunt it down and kill it with their bare hands.

How do developers become this stupid?

the "concrete and asphalt" requirements are minimal

Not where I have observed them. They have tended to be on mountain-tops etc, where a significant amount of infrastructure to build, mount and maintain them has been required.

Like Here, and here

Main problem: I am a software developer with a comfortable salary, my wife makes more. What about those who do not have the economic flexibility to survive in such a system? At lear 20-25% of the population in Europe would be hit by severe financial troubles in such a scheme. Just wait and see for this summer.

Romania is part of the EU, one of the advantages of which is that it doesn't need to be energy independent

Sure, but the main problem there is that the EU doesn't really have a surplus to share, particularly not when the somewhat insane German politicians are shutting down their nuclear powerplants.
