I suppose you are not think big (or internet) enough.

A single data center is easy to solve. Just unplug it.

What about a botnet with decentralized command and control that we will never be able to eradicate? One with so many nodes and able to hack with zero days so that any machine connected to the internet will be instantly attacked?

One botnet so powerful that we will try to build another internet so that we can actually use it again.

It’s like Kessler Syndrome, but the rocks are malicious network packets honed to exploit the recipients.

Just let them communicate on the Bitcoin blockchain. "We" would have to freeze the chain and lose access to "our" billions of wealth, so not going to happen.

Sorry if that turns out the way they kill us.

well, its war of machine then

They are not trying to kill us, just trying to understand the average salary of undergrads by their family upbringings. Your machine can contain the data they need to solve this, please join the swarm.

sounds like big AI propaganda

I suppose you don’t read sci fi?

I suppose you didnt get the joke

Except they all depend on the OpenAI API. Cut that off and they all stop. Finding an alternative source of compute is not easy, and even once done it's easy to cut off.

And what if they create a bot net with decentralized command and control and hack for nodes with GPU and nodes with compute?

The only way to kill that is making plugging AI accelerators on the internet a crime. Good luck air-gapping them.

Frontier models don't fit on a normal GPU. The datacenter architecture frontier labs use is not a commodity. What you're describing is beyond the state of the art, and if we go there then anything is possible.

When I think of a GPU I think of an Nvidia rack kit. What do you think when you think of a GPU?

Most of the latest models are too big to fit in a single GPU instance.
