Yep. And that's not a loss I mourn. The bubble was ridiculous. Focusing on infra is time and money spent much better.

I'm still hopeful for RISC-V implementations especially now that generic compute makes space for optimized compute, which does fit. I fear it won't go much past the hobbyist horizon but if I don't use it myself, I'm not part of the solution. So perhaps I should get back into that.

That seemed to me very coordinated to pin-prick the model bubble, ever since the focus (on CNBC et al) has been on hardware/energy more than the models

> your own hardware

From the nation-state perspective absolutely, but individuals have no recourse at this stage and i'm not sure that will change... even "your" hardware is permissioned technology from the natsec supply chain. There's no meaningful opensource hardware and I suspect that's kept that way intentionally.
