    Lol what? They’re lucky to get 7.5 million, and that includes a lot of handies behind the dumpster at Wendy’s

      What makes anyone think that there won’t be AI chips in cell phones very soon?

      A cell phone replacement needs to replace the cell phone. Otherwise it’s just another device they expect you to carry

        What the hell is a “cell phone replacement”? We repeatedly reengineered phones from voice carried over a telegraph wire, to a screen covered with sensors that fits in your pocket.

        Aside from a brain implant, what possible innovation is left other than tweaking with hardware and upgrading silicon?

          That is the one billion dollars question that every one at Silicon Valley is asking.

          We now have a clearer answer to that. We know that the answer they are looking for isn’t whatever this thing is.

        There already are matrix (matrix math, not The Matrix) accelerators in flagship phones, let alone all the services a phone can call off to. This product was never going to replace a damn thing.
