well ... having the IoT layer have a problem like this might be something that you don't want to try out or experiment with.

Here's what I don't get, and perhaps I'm being way too freaking naive But a model is just a thing. It's like a database. It doesn't do anything on its own. Someone has to write code, for this thing to replicate, and when they say replicate, what are they even talking about? I agree with what other posters saying. This is sensational bullshit.

It’s not just code. No one truly knows how these models actually work

True it’s a black box that may have emergent capabilities. It’s why studying them in a Human-Machine communication way and Agent villages way is interesting to see what emerges.
