He inherited his predecessor’s bad manners and arrogance.

But how can you verify that the processor's own software, which ultimately runs the application, has not been compromised?

How can you have a secure enclave without hardware attestation? Processor root-key is the source for all.

There are also many high-performance Chinese implementations that are open-source (e.g., XuanTie C910, XiangShan, etc.).

While achieving an open-core design comparable to Zen 5 is unlikely in the near term, a sustained open-source collaborative effort could, in the long run, significantly change the situation. For example, current versions of XiangShan are targeting ~20 SPECint 2006/GHz (early where at ~9).

No: RISC is open ARM is closed.

I suspect that many projects—such as BOOM—have stalled as a consequence of this situation. If it continues, the long-term impact will be highly detrimental for everyone involved, including stakeholders in Western countries.

Desperate to run without even knowing how to walk.

This is going to end badly — and soon. It’s ironic that catastrophic forgetting (i.e., the inability to perform continuous learning) and hallucinations (i.e., the failure to recognize when a prediction is unfounded) won’t be the causes of the crash, but rather greed and stupidity.

Konrad had the ideas; others received the glory. History has been unfair to him—he was simply on the wrong side of it.

Consciousness, once engineered, will make any biology redundant.

It won’t be us. It will be our descendants — the machines.

AGI may finally arrive — the long-awaited gold transmutation dreamt of by modern "linear algebra" alchemists.

As far as I know, pruning is related to age. At birth, we have a massive number of silent synapses. As we grow older, those that remain unused (i.e., inactive) tend to disappear. This process involves a delicate mechanism, including components of the immune system.

The unfortunate reality is that no one truly understands how memory works. Many theories are floating around, but the fundamental components remain elusive. One thing is certain: it is quite different from backpropagation. Thankfully, our brains do not suffer from catastrophic forgetting.
