    I read this as "let's address our shareholders' concerns with something that will increase shareholder value" mixed with "there's no such thing as 100% secure".

    If such hardware were to work... It should almost certainly be open source, and not controlled by a single entity.

    Let's watch the stock.

      Pretty sure the chip will need regular updates and therefore a subscription.

      they kind of already do the thing they say. on Windows, the NVIDIA driver reports pretty detailed telemetry on CUDA workloads, including shapes and SOME hashes of the tensors from weights of models, especially diffusion models. honestly i'm surprised there isn't more of an uproar about it.

      If the first chip version doesn't work, surely the 99th will!
