Fake AI tools aren't AI Malware I wont even click the link and give them a visit

Its just bonzi buddy and browser toolbars once again it seems.

Malware is just a niche of adware anyways, all the ads are mostly vectors for malware to get into your computer.

Use adblcok, Use firefox, be free

How will websites survive if they can't serve malvertisements to users?

AI generated threats to cyber security are real. AI tools are being used to generate code faster and little or no tech knowledge is needed to carry out an attack. This was not possible before. Automated attacks are being driven with the help of AI too. APTs and deepfakes and many other forms of threats are now common. See: https://www.cshub.com/threat-defense/articles/cyber-security...

ideally by the natural selection of providing something valuable (to people who visit the site)

Sadly it is almost inevitable we'll have another Bredolab-size botnet (30 mln computers, 1% of all) by cybercriminals but this time it'll be an AI botnet.

As soon as AI components will be useful, they'll be in botnets. And with such a size, you have more compute than OpenAI and can train a frontier misaligned model or modify an open source one:

The solution is to not just have 10% of compute in clouds like we have now but at least 50% in SOTA clouds, to have more compute than botnets. Have AI model App Store, probably NVIDIA will become like Apple:

Will have at least the most minimal checks on what runs on their hardware

We'll have to do it but better to do it early not late

It can be a unicorn startup that NVIDIA will want to buy (motivating gamers to put GPUs in clouds is easy, same with others really, you can share $30-1500/month with them by renting GPUs from your cloud to corporations and others)

There is Salad but they don't secure the hardware and software, so can't really have corporate clients. Amazon AWS, Azure, others, show that it's a real business. Unicorn-sized just in the USA (even bigger if global) if you'll do the math
