From here to the next 10 years or so, the bet is on Medical-Help. Almost every country in the world is struggling with constant under-staffing, populations are growing older, while pay for Nurses is going down. Now with AI technologies becoming more and more reliable, the biggest pain point to solve is Healthcare.

"AI" (hallucinating LLMs) "solving" healthcare. One can just hope the VC money is not big enough for that horror show.

BitGrid - a systolic array of 4x4 bit Look Up Tables and latches. Like Faraday's first electric motor, it'll have no practical use, at first. If I'm right, it'll be somewhat useful in reducing the power consumption of AI and let us ride Moore's law for a few more decades.

I find this interesting, I saw a couple of other comments by you on this. Do you have a blog article or paper about this architecture?

Ultra low-power, always-on, multi-year battery life, forget-about-them IoT devices will seep even deeper in everyones everyday life.

My bet is that the big tech movement to use AI to grab as much wealth as possible will result in a severe backlash and wake many people up to the fact that the lastest modern technology is not all it's cracked up to be.

"Dumb electronics" - iPods/MP3players, dumbphones, e-ink screens/phones/readers, film cameras.

I just bought a Lootoo PAW6K after getting fed up with the iPhone and the headphone plug adapter.

This player has its own OS, no WiFi or only for firmware upgrades. Has no apps and boots up under three seconds and large capacity from SD Card. The best is it just plays.

What's even cooler is that it's a DAC so I can have my headphones plugged in to it and then use Spotify/Service to stream to the player.

Expensive though at $1000 but just how I want it. My headphones decoupled from my mobile phone.
