You'd think the datacenter boom would have happened during COVID when everyone was stuck at home ordering everything online, streaming everything and doing zoom calls all day as they work from home.
But the fact that it's happening now is weird. Everyone I know has cooled on AI, even my most AI loving friends are no longer using it for art, porn or therapy.
So is it all speculative? Companies hoping to get in on the "AI goldrush"?
Could this be nefarious? Instead of one big underground secret military datacenter, distribute a resilient network of regular datacenters all around the country that are also used for civilian purposes.
At this point I wonder if AI's get updated just to recognize and deal with specific tests like this.
In comparison to solving the root issues, it's gotta be easier to add a few extra lines of code to intervene if someone is asking about walking or driving to the carwash or wanting to know how many "r"'s in the word strawberry.
I wonder if AI is the opaque interesting tech it says it is, but also it's thousands of extra if statements catching known/published/problematic/embarrassing inconsistencies.
Anyone here work for any of the big AI companies? Is it just one big black-box, or a black-box with thousands of intervention points and guard rails?
Let me ask a dumb question. Can this be run on a public server (I use dreamhost) with a web interface for others to see? Or is this strictly something that gets run on a local computer?
Replying to myself here - I decided to just actually go read wikipedia about this. Here's the answer:

By default, when a processor is executing an instruction, its LED is on. In a SIMD program, the goal is to have as many processors as possible working the program at the same time – indicated by having all LEDs being steady on. Those unfamiliar with the use of the LEDs wanted to see the LEDs blink – or even spell out messages to visitors. The result is that finished programs often have superfluous operations to blink the LEDs.
Hi Phil, sorry to hear that something went down and involved Limor... that's not cool. A few Q's:
1. Will the freenzy be a 100% drop-in replacement for the teensy?
2. Will the freenzy be able to be programmed using teensyduino?
3. PJRC's bootloader is closed-source (I know, I've built 1000 Teensy-LC's after the product's discontinuation). Does that mean you're sourcing bootloaders from PJRC or reverse engineering the bootloader chip?
Opinion 1: If I can't take code written for a Teensy and upload it straight to the Freenzy, then this is not "Teensy Compatible". Likewise if the pinout is not the same, including all of the rear pcb-pads.
Opinion 2: If this is not actually Teensy Compatible, but just "Teensy Inspired", what about branding this as adafruit's own microcontroller and not cut into Paul and Robin's income by selling a totally different product that rides on their name recognition and decade of work?
