Cool way to use old hardware but I can't stand reading AI blog posts. Just write it yourself so the visitor doesn't feel like they're just reading another agent's thoughts.

From personal experience, I have found projects like this to be a waste of time in the long run.

Something WILL break (at the worst possible time) which you cannot fix, or upgrade, etc.

The device will end up in the same closet with the other e-waste streamer boxes. You won't get your time back.

Remember these were designed with a limited life in mind, by people that were equipped with all the documentation, SDKs, BSP, etc. You'll always be fighting an uphill battle.

Eventually you realize you're spending closer to 100% of your time fixing problems rather than watching content.
