Have you ever had to wait your turn to use the one computer in the library thats the only one that has the specific program you need to use, to finish an assignment, thats due in 30 minutes?

But little Timmy really wants to play the color version of Number Munchers?

Scale that up by a few quintillion times, and you may see how catastrophically stupid it would be to have a single entity gatekeeping all computational capacity on Earth.

You think Musk shutting off Starlink for 48hrs in a active warzone, is bad?

Imagine that even a well intentioned theoretical super LLM just makes a mistake, or an intentional decision along the lines of... 3 months of the entire computational/transactional/book keeping/device regulating capacity/logistical planning and monitoring ability of the entire country and economy of I don't know, Cameroon, Albania, New Zealand, Thailand, whatever... eh thats less important than this other thing people are doing.

This is madness, in a technologized world, for everyone to relenquish their entire ability to do anything requring RAM, to a single entity.

Do you want SkyNet? The Matrix?

Thats how you get them!
