Well they probably knew it all back in 2017 so I’m sure are very well prepared to pivot into whatever comes next.

Indeed the system is all of it - all gear on another level of abstraction where it as a whole is just enabling processes, not the thing running it.

Someone’s surely doing it atm we just don’t know yet. And then we scan all books but the stuff stays local. Perhaps possible, perhaps not. But I don’t see why everyone could not run given the epoch on his content only, reporting back findings (loss).

the notion of "quality" equals very much luxury for many many people... and last time I checked some 90% of the peoples of the world were not concern with it (the lux), but with making ends meet. all opportunities arising would be taken immediately, and if some kid can play a game for 5EUR and likes it, even not the certified origins, his father would not rush to get the 80EUR one (and particularly if he can afford to summon, or like prompt, something workable into existence).

same for many forms of media, and for a lot of physical objects such as luxury items fakes. and we're talking utility here, so I bet lots of people use counterfeit electric equipment because it just works.

of course then comes ingenuity and community, but copyright is so dead, that it cannot be resurrected meaningfully at all perhaps at this moment.

"Valve ought to be funding lawsuits against these bootleggers." - yeah good luck on that. no legal framework exists and they actually benefit from it the same way Spotify and YouTube does. In a way they all welcome this move, and eventually may require you to pay on top for them to inform you of slop alongside banners. Otherwise you get the whole package and tis all business as usual.

I’ll wait for it to surface on eBay in few years and then consider again. Pretty sure many of these go in the hands of people who can never make good use of all the nice hardware in it.

Very simple - you don't see it because it does not get released. What you see get released, though, most people would not register so fast on their radars. And it is very bold to say "no, I don't see how antirez is puttin LLMs to work" or something along the line. Well, very often you don't see most of such people's work until it's literally everywhere. Llama.cpp a good example of such software, and yes, it accepts LLM-assisted code.
