One thought is once it can touch the underlying system, it can provision resources, spawn processes, and persist itself, crossing the line from tool to autonomous entity. I admit you could do that in a browser shell nowadays, just maybe with more restrictions and guardrails.
I don’t have any strong opinions here, but I do think a lower cost to escape the walled gardens agi starts in will be a factor
Not just the os, but browsing control is enough to do 99% of the things he would want autonomously.
Bank account + id + browser: has all the tools it needs to do many things:
- earn money
- allocate money
- create accounts
- delegate physical jobs to humans
Create his own self loop in a server. Create a server account, use credit card + id provided, self host his own code… can now focus on getting more resources.
