This is actually incredible.

Buy all the RAM and video cards. RAM and video cards become too expensive for the average person to purchase.
Push AI for everything until dependency develops.
Sell remote access to computing power. (AI, Streaming video games, remote desktop, etc.)
As the "Operating System Provider," collect all of the personal information necessary to validate that each user is telling the truth about their age.

Result: Zero Individual Privacy- Everything you compute is processed by a computer owned by a big corporation with a backdoor built-in for your authoritarian government (which is owned by billionaires) to surveil.
