Do you realize how big "the entire internet" is?

> How many dollars of compute do you believe were available to the swarm(s)

At least two OOMs more than the dollar value of the damage they'd caused. (Also, as an aside, IIRC, the wiki servers weren't breached; it was just a lot of spam.)

> Given the accelerating rate of AI capability development, it’s my worry that in 6–12 months such a swarm could be capable of taking over the entire internet with a persistent botnet (potentially causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage), and that the scale of damage would continue to increase from there if AI becomes more powerful without the necessary guardrails.

This is the only concrete prediction in the entire essay.

And it simply cannot happen. For one, you will need billions worth of compute.
