windows is adding chat gpt that allows it to run commands on your computer. Things like "open application X" or "maximise this window". They still need the user to press a button for each action it operates though.
Sure, harmless now, but imagine you let one of these LLMs actually use your browser, logged in as you, and it does something that you didn't intend it to do. We are getting to that point fast where you can ask an LLM to check your emails and answer them for you, order food from uber eats or use some internal company or government system that can control a huge number of different variables.
Funnily enough it seems human error (through bad or misguided LLMs prompts) is going to become much more common as LLMs do more things for us. You would kind expect the opposite from automated computer systems, yet here we are.
How is it working? Who will host the terabytes of content is this really take off? Who will pay for it? Sure it’s easy to host a blockchain on a number of computers when it’s small, but if it really become THE source of truth, then you need actual $$$$$ to keep it alive.
I hope you still see this, it took me a few days to get back to you.

Those people [1], among others. You too, if you want. The great thing is that you don‘t need to store the entire weave to participate. If you store only 10TB, you will earn rewards at roughly 10TB/72TB = 1/7 efficiency.

Arweave has taken off, and the weave size is already above 72TB. [0]
> Who will pay for it?
The uploader. You pay for 200 years of storage AT CURRENT COST upfront. The trick is that this is not paid out immediately. Instead, an endowment is created, which pays for the continued storage over time.
Under the very conservative assumption that storage costs decrease by about 0.5% pa, this endowment will shrink over time, but never be exhausted (because storage gets cheaper over time). Essentially it is exponentially decaying. [2]
From what I understand it’s still very expensive to store anything more than a few kb on the Blockhain as it’s distrbuted. So you still need a platform that will store the actual content and reference the transaction. In the end, it’s like web2 to me, if you kill the host / platform, you still have the blockchain but you lost the content.
