Today this exercise feels pointless. However. I remember the days when there were articles written about the possibility for "internet radio". In stead of good old broadcasting waves through the ether and simply thousands of radios tuning in, some server would send a massive amount of packets over a massive kilometers of copper to thousands of endpoints. Ad absurdum the endpoints would even send ack packages upstream to the poor server to keep connections alive. It seemed like a huge waste of computing power, wire and energy.

And here we are, binging netflix movies over such copper wires.

I'm not saying games will be replaced by diffusion models dreaming up next images based on user input, but a variation of that might end up in a form of interactive art creation or a new form of entertainment.
