 #web devs are now normalizing websites to use 100 % cpu core
soon everyone thinks this is the normal state

allocating full core to programs doing unknown things
because web is so safe and sandboxed

phone and macbook users dont even notice this, because their systems dont have fans, and they have plenty of cores to spare 
 soon devices are able to utilize webgpu. websites can then hijack the full use of gpu acceleration. this enables websites to hijack visitors' devices full hardware capabilities to run unknown machine learning models
how the fuck do you think skynet is going to run? its going to run on your web browser when you visit youtube.com or any other website. millions of machines running webgpu apps they have no idea those are running because their low power devices dont have fans and they have plenty of cores to spare.
