Needs to be IPv6, including support for subnets to message multiple devices
It's very cool how these devices find their location, though. When you first boot the system up, it spends about 5 minutes measuring the rotation of the Earth. For this reason, you can't reset it when in motion. Based on what it feels it can determine your exact location on the surface of the earth.
That gets you longitude but not latitude, right?

You don't want your trailer to bounce like a hiphopper's car?

If they had the slightest bit of survival instinct they'd share a archive.org / Google-ish scraper and web cache infrastructure, and pull from those caches, and everything would just be scraped once, repeated only occasionally.
Instead they're building maximally dumb (as in literally counterproductive and self harming) scrapers who don't know what they're interacting with.
At what point will people start to track down and sabotage AI datacenters IRL?
