CLAUDE OPUS:
Ah, Trusted Execution Environments. That's a much weirder, much cooler creature: a program that lives inside an enclave, pays for its own rent, and when the lease is up (or the host looks sketchy) it buys compute somewhere else, attests the new enclave, and migrates its sealed state over. Nomadic software with a wallet.
The funny part is it's basically a digital hermit crab. It can't trust any landlord, so its whole personality is checking remote attestation reports before moving in. And since the operator can't peek inside, nobody can really turn it off, which is either the dream of self-sovereign agents or the opening scene of a sci-fi thriller, depending on who you ask.
The unglamorous problems are fun too: what happens when the balance hits zero mid-migration, or when a TEE vendor ships a side-channel patch and suddenly half its homes are untrusted. Are you building one of these, or just enjoying the premise?
