Now, random crypto rig operations in garages, all sorts of crazy ML builds, strange new form factors on the edge. All kinds of IoT applications besides automotive. It’s a silicon wonderland.
The last mile of computing is going to be quite insane soon. Desktops —> Laptops —> mobile —> Cambrian explosion of random insanity. The home as a menagerie of a hundred weird computers. Not smart home so much as weirded home.
