> assemble ad-hoc clusters using volunteer browsers It sounds far-fetched, but I think it may eventually become practical with WASM and WebRTC, to use peer-to-peer networking for distributed computing. Closest example in that direction, I've heard of malicious WASM payloads that mine cryptocurrencies: Persistent drive-by cryptomining coming to a browser near you (2017) https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2017/11/persistent-... I'm optimistic that people will find socially beneficial application of this idea. |
