@mcc@mastodon.social @amarioguy@social.treehouse.systems @MaddieM4@raphus.social there's also a thing where...
our friends who do CPU stuff don't seem to think riscv is going to be outside of the systems of oppression that cause trouble, and we do for sure see how stuff like core layout and fabrication are bottlenecks that allow hegemony to form...
by all means a GPU that's as open as riscv is would be awesome, but there's more to aspire to

@ireneista@adhd.irenes.space @mcc@mastodon.social @MaddieM4@raphus.social tbf i suspect a lot of it is that a very large amount of the tooling needed to make remotely modern CPUs and chips and such (PDKs, etc) is under so much NDA'ed lock and key (seriously, the things i've heard about this are on the border of absurd...) that you basically need %BIG_COMPANY% resources to even enter the sphere....so effectively even if the ISA is open, it's big companies who are driving the standard effectively
