   The problems of enshittification are already there even with unicast updates. At the moment the technical problems of updates is solved with vast networks of data centers. Updating a billion android phones is not a cheap process for Samsung or Motorola. They're doing it at the cost of megatons of carbon release per year. We are talking about potentially reducing that to a marginal cost of about zero. A raspberry pi could do it

     Yes, but I would like to suggest that a multi cast system where everything becomes automated can quite rapidly and frighteningly become one where you don’t have any choice.

     I’m also fairly curious of the security risk of a system like this that is basically a virus injector on steroids
