@landley @dalias @stman @OS1337 *nodds in agreement*
One can see that with #LibreSilicon which basically managed to DIY and opensource a 90nm process and seem to be working if not done with 65nm of not 45nm.
Tho granted, some used fab in equal or greater node size will be cheaper by virtue of written-off manchinery and tooling as well as being ready to make chips...
@root Amazing presentation by Michiel Leenaars of @nlnetlabs

@ted_dunning @profoundlynerdy @Houl the only.asvantage is that #SPARCv9 & #POWER9 are #FLOSS'd like #RISCV so the limiting factor would be economies of scale and the ability to procure fabbing, which sadly isn't #FLOSS'd yet ( #LibreSilicon works on that!)...
This literally bit #Russia in the rear as #TSMC canceled any deliveries for #MCST's chips they fabbed on 28nm nodes...

Trying to regulate AI can be like regulating math in that suddenly certain calculations are illegal.
Trying to regulate AI can be like regulating the printing press in that suddenly only people with enough lawyers are able to make a printing press.
Trying to regulate AI can be like trying to regulate free speech. From now on only certain forms of speech are allowed (a bit like the book 1984).
Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Nvidia and others are investing billions (trillions?). Big Tech and Governments want to continue with data mining, government surveillance and surveillance capitalism. This will go as long as long as we let them. The incentives are there. To change that we need social awareness, a consciousness shift or a libre ethical digital revolution.
If you truly want to stop AI then think about how to organize:
Otherwise focusing on research, libre AI, libre riscv, libre silicon and research (ethics,safety,mechanistic interpretability) is currently our best hope.

Instead of making laws focus on funding:
Laws and regulations (including license restrictions) usually benefit corporations and governments who have lawyers, lobyists, perverse incentives and a drive for data mining and surveillance. Even if you do your best to make a good law it could make it harder for libre efforts to comply. Put your trust in research, decentralization, libre software, libre hardware and research.
Billions of dollars are being invested by companies like nvidia,google and microsoft.

@Tinyhouse4life @11112011 I'm right now trying to introduce the chip manufacturing industry in Portugal with #LibreSilicon... in case you wanna help build the fab:
https://libresilicon.com
Danke für den Follow @AltvaterUli@twitter.com!
Nett dass auch basierte Leute was mit Elektronik machen! Vielleicht ist #LibreSilicon was (https://libresilicon.com), habe das Projekt gestartet und betreib es momentan hier in Portugal wo ich letztes Jahr hingezogen bin.
More and more Israelis are joining the #LibreSilicon team right now. I'm really glad. I'm kind of proud of my Jewish heritage, and so are the Jewish members of my team, and that seems to be getting traction right now.😁
Mit #OpenHardware, speziell im Halbleiterbereich (#LibreSilicon), wird plötzlich auch so Zeug möglich wie vertrauenswürdige Krypto.
Ich arbeite grade an einem Draft für sicheres eVoting, aber es steht und fällt alles mit der Frage ob die Mikrokontroller verifizierbar sind.

The #Azores have geothermal energy plus a warehouse full of #FranksRedHot and #AWRootbeer.
The perfect place to build a #LibreSilicon chip factory😄
"While a lot of projects are currently developing their own processors, mostly as open source in Verilog, VHDL or even Chisel, we miss the free process that actually manufactures these chips. So we're developing the "Libre Silicon" project, a portable semiconductor manufacturing process and technology, using only free and open source tools ..."

They're all busy with the chemical waste today. So CMPing has to wait until tomorrow. 😑 #LibreSilicon
@stman not rhat much...
But #LibreSilicon is officially at #35C3...
@stman dunno. But AFAIK, there's no other #LibreSilicon...
