    Lol what? This conversation is about the capacity of agentic AI systems replicating across cloud infrastructure, not the affordability of laptops for individual consumers.

    The point was you don’t need an entire server farm. You can rent an 80gb H100 on Lambda for $2/hr. A 125gb Spark laptop costs $5k.

    If it comes down to an effective worm-like agentic distillation at 50gb, the cost to sustain a small swarm comes way down to the point that the swam could sustain its own activities through different revenue streams.

    Once the capability is there at that size, it’s no longer Russia, Iran, or North Korea who could easily drop a billion dollars to jumpstart it. It’s any criminal organization or asshole rich guy who can jumpstart it for the price of a nice car.
