I've tried to explain this paper to people in similar circumstances and have also struggled!
In my mind the key point of departure between this paper and the more standard computational functionalist approaches is the importance of metabolism. Metabolism _precedes_ organism. The body is first deeply entangled with the environment through exchanges of resources (content causality) before it is capable of building computers (vehicle causality). Having built and alphabetized the world we can understand them in terms of discrete state transitions.
I expect my explanations have been unsatisfying as we can immediately move to seeing metabolism as some alphabetized input/output system that can be immediately placed back into the computational framework. Moving outside of this framework requires engaging with the enactivist/organicist traditions, which is a rich but minority view.

They aged out of being competitive against SoC NPUs. This is ultimately the successor to that.

Ed's main critique is about business sustainability -- it's true that there are many articles about AI on IP issues or ethics but he is unique in actually crunching the numbers on profit.

The data has to go across PCI / USB to get to the internal (tiny) SRAM. It's not a good choice for clustering, you should just use a GPU for that.

I work for FUTO, does it just need to be somewhere in the Download section? I'll see if I can get this added if so.

FYI your CSS looks to be broken on Firefox.

When I asked a similar question of a VC that's invested in manufacturing they recommended I tour factories and ask what their painpoints are.

That advice makes sense if we're talking about 800B+ parameter models that require a gigantic investment of capital and time. For models that fit on a consumer GPU you're leaving chips on the table to not take advantage of training / fine-tuning. It's just too easy and powerful not to.

"Build, don't train" is poor advice for a prospective "AI Engineer" title. It should be "Know when to reach for a new model architecture, know when to reach for fine-tuning / LoRA training, know when to use an API." Only relying on an API will drastically reduce your product differentiation, to say nothing of the fact that any AI Engineer worth that title should know how to build and train models.
