The next generation of architecture/silicon is already here with embedded dies that are mainly focused for AI instructions (Co-Pilot), and now there’s much controversy with Microsoft and its new “Recall” feature which I would call Cyber Stalking: Your data being stored against your will by a large multi-billion dollar corporation ALL centralized and unsecured.
Unfortunately, the dinosaurs in the chambers are still at each other’s throats figuring out what to politicize next instead of addressing the issues/concerns from the public.
