  • What’s dystopian is that a company like google will fight tooth and nail to remain the sole owner and rights holder to such a tech. A technology that should be made accessible outside the confines of capitalist motives.
    Such technologies have the potential to lift entire populations out of poverty. Not to mention that they could mitigate global warming considerably.
    It is simply not in the interest of humanity to allow one or more companies to hold a monopoly over such technology








  • “When we step back and look at it, we see that it is a de facto open ecosystem. Open ecosystems benefit from having consortiums with stakeholders, all with a voice in driving the ecosystem forward”

    Lol if the x86 ISA is an open ecosystem, CocaCola is an open source beverage.
    Trying to read between the lines though, is Norrod implying that they are considering moving toward a more open x86?
    The impression I’m getting is that they’re thinking about sacrificing various legacy features (32bit being the most obvs one) to bring performance per Watt closer to the competition. And then put in its place a more standardized successor? RIS86? They will likely aim to steer clear of formal (published) standards because they want their trade secrets. However, they will need to simultaneously ensure not to violate antitrust rules.
    Might be easier for them to just forfeit trade secrets and embrace a different model altogether.
