So the parasites have already gathered around the rCLlegitimaterCY AI
services, and are busy sucking the lifeblood off them in any way they
can manage <https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/chinese-grey-market-sells-claude-api-access-at-90-percent-off-through-proxy-networks-that-harvest-user-data>.
And none of the countermeasures works -- not for long.

Does anybody feel much sympathy? Or are you looking forward to this
hastening the inevitable implosion of the AI bubble?

Standard issue results for self-centric beings.

You will lose your sympathy the moment you realize who will pay the bill
;/ or the moment another parasite jumps on your ldo bubble.

At the moment hardware and services to host is expensive, and to some
extent monopolized by those that have the capital to build the current infrastructure. However, there will come an age where that will be much cheaper and all of our IT symmetric key security mechanisms smashed.

For physical authentication at a bank in the future, you will be
expected to give a blood sample, and bring a relative for two factor ...

Four-factor authentication.

1) Something you know
2) Something you have
3) Something you are
4) Someone who knows you

Of course that could get crowded if #4 is recursive :)

another parasite jumps on your ldo bubble.

Given the vast majority of human verbiage is
lies, AI is just regurgitated lies. Is there
really *that* much difference? So how could
I possibly care? It's on the screen, I
ingest grains of salt while reading,
and then it's over and usually
completely forgotten not much
later.

Not unlike farts, come to
think of it.

The primary costs of running an AI service (or any large-scale compute facility) or not the hardware cost, or even the salaries of the crew (sysadmins, developers, whatever): itrCOs the electricity bill.

And that is going up, not down.

And that's reportedly being paid not by existing capital but by capital
the GenAI companies have Enroned out of a void.
