Executing remote code is a choice not some sort of force of nature.

Timesharing systems are inherently not safe and way too much effort is put into claiming the stone from Sisyphus.

SaaS and complex centralized software need to go and that is way over due.

Awesome! What’s your strategy for migration of the entire world’s infrastructure to whatever you’re thinking about?

My strategy is to not use "the entire world's infrastructure" which makes it redundant.

If enough people cancel their leftpad-as-a-Service subscription the server can be unplugged.

(Yes I am somewhat hyperbolic and yes I see use for internet connected servers and clients. I argue against the SaaS driven centralization.)

How does that help with the topic at hand? (LLM-assisted vulnerability research)

Are the decentralized systems that you prefer more secure/less buggy/less exploitable by LLMs?

How do we deal with the floods threatening those living in the valleys and slopes?
