Intel gets it and is adjusting to be a foundry that builds chips to application spec.

For me cloud computing is just where the best pay is. I do not at all see it as the future of computing.

One reason is ML will help us realize we write code we don’t need; so much of it is syntax sugar for business specific needs; infra, security… it’ll be realized cloud software is solving unemployment not technical problems of value. That many issues with software back in the day were lower quality networks, and consumer hardware. I mean any phone can abstract metadata from any one users amount of behavior, we do it in a DC because that’s where the jobs are. Chip manufacturing will include ML normalized logic for specific application.

LAN IOT will improve and we’ll realize the Metaverse can be implemented with a local client and AI generated art, on a mobile GPUs power in a few years. Middle men like Zuckerberg face the most uncertain future. He failed to diversify as well as Bezos, Newell, and others.

IMO, Valve is a serious threat with Steamdeck; an open IOT brain in a kid friendly form factor could be the new cigarette. Even Apple may have to take them seriously. My kids iPads need replacing soon; a flat glass slab with no interactive controls, requiring another $800+ machine to develop on, bloated development tools, fees, and a bunch of cloud logins, are not going to motivate kids to feel creative.
