Former AMD employee here (2007-2012) AMD 'dropped the ball' BADLY when (2012) then-VP Ben Bar-Haim decided to do a software purge, and focused on retaining the over-bureaucratic folks of ATI/Markham. Net result: NVidia was (and did) pick up a lot of very smart researchers and developers from AMD (I know of a couple whom were thoroughly disgusted with AMD management at that time)

He also trashed a lot of good and useful software projects for seemingly protectionist reasons (if it wasn't ATI/Markham, it was dumped)

Seems to me that the goal is to build a funding model. There CANNOT be such a thing as "Safe Superintelligence". A ML system can ALWAYS (by definition of ML) be exploited to do things which are detrimental to consumers.

Unaligned pointer accesses are for 80386 bozos. Period End of story. If you want to play in 64-bit land, live by the architectural rules. If you do not, your code will likely die. And you need to "Lurn" a lot

Silly Rabbit - absolutely accurate times are a security problem. CPU designers (even waay back in Alpha @ DEC) intentionally introduced clock jitter, just to prevent total predictability. For x86, I think if you performed 3-4 of them, and then saved the values in to registers, and then upon completion reported those values, you would find that the time deltas are NOT exactly the same.
