Saw an amazing presentation today by an experienced hacker. Internet has become an ecosystem where evolution is happening at a breakneck pace. For every solution there is a crack, for every crack there is a solution and on it goes ad infinitum. For every intended use of any solution there are several unintended - helpful, harmless or harmful.
This in itself is not new. What is new is that so many persons multitask at it - soon a significant percentage of the human brainpower.
When will the attraction of brainpower stop? Maybe it goes in the same direction as stock exchanges, at some point in time there is really very little arbitrage to be made except by automatic microsecond decisions so humans lose interest. On the other hand, human interactions form a complex marketplace of different individual desires so maybe there is no end.
