I grow Jalapeños. This conflation of AI and actual chili peppers irks me.

Just think of how the people of Xalapa, Mexico feel. They should send them a royalty check.

I do generative art (no relation to AI prompting). I feel your frustration.

It's jalapeño grill would you say?

karim79•24m ago
Not sure what you're talking about. But I'll tell you, home grown Jalapeño peppers, fermented with 3% salt is the stuff of dreams.

At some point people will use an LLM to design an Apple M series competitor.
bigyabai•36m ago
They won't, because they'd need an ARM architecture license.
pixl97•32m ago
I mean you can design anything without a license. Selling it is where the problems come up. Even then there are likely places in China that would still make it for you.
amelius•28m ago
Why, the LLM can make up its own architecture.

The value lies in the design space exploration, which is what an LLM can easily do.

Arm sells architecture licenses to anybody these days.
bhouston•23m ago
It is probably doable right not to push a risc-v design into that performance space.

openai should figure out how to make lithography machine, so ASML don't have monopoly on it.
