   The war on general purpose computing is ramping up. They are coming for your computer....get ready.

      How are you getting ready?

      Is there nothing we can do but pay the absurd prices and be happy about it? There is no hope left?

      I'm genuinely afraid.

         I would actually suggest getting into microcontrollers - there is wide variety of them & are very useful for many tasks. They are also apparently largely unaffected by the AI memory/storage price insanity as they hardly need any big amount of either.

         Add some hardware on top and you can have it drive an e-ink screen, run a drone, act as a LoRa repeater with a 40 km range, etc. :)
