Imagine an AI llm combined with an OS file search. Like "two years ago I was playing Skyrim and I installed a lot of mods, and I think one of them turned all the dragons into Kirby. Where was the installer for that mod?"

And then your computer is like "I gotcha bro, here's the installer right here."

That'd be pretty cool. But then again it'd probably also go "I'll go ahead and install it for you. And hey, while I'm at it I know you're gonna love this ad tracking program that paid M$ a few million dollars for your info, so Imma install that too. If you'd rather not install it, feel free to find your files and run the installer yourself"

Feel free to build your own computer from sand and charcoal. You're totally free to do things your own way so long as you don't use our platform, and don't forget We Own Everything Already (tm). You're welcome to start your own village on another planet somewhere and take all the sand you need. But you can't use our rockets to get there.
