Hmmm... open up your mind a little bit...

Think of it this way: if the low-millisecond latency internet is good enough for multiplayer FPSs, i.e. exchange of player/missile coordinates, then why not use it for other aspects of game data too?

The article may have been a bit fuzzy in its discussion in general, but I believe it communicated clearly enough that gfx are on the GPU and longer latency stuff such as AI (which is _not_ computed in nanoseconds, nor does it need to be completely deterministic) can be done via external network interface.

Cloud AI has all kinds of other advantages, too, such as dynamically scaling difficulty, which we already see examples of in Starcraft 2...
