Damn it! Last year I upgraded to blockchain PC since my original Cloud-Native one was a disappointment.

You need to go headless immutable, that's the key.
Zero trust PC
So you went from Chromebook to a cryptomalware infested PC?
What even is a fucking AI pc?
A PC with a CPU that integrates an NPU, I think. That's mostly laptops, and often not intentional from the consumer point of view as chip vendors just throw in NPUs to make money off the AI hype.
~~If Macs were still PCs, every Mac would be an AI computer.~~ Reuters still considers Macs to be PCs, so this number includes all Apple laptops and desktops as well.
I'm a PC, you're a MAC
Does a Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon count as a 'PC' to you?
Not really. It's an ARM based computer that comes with PC emulation software, but it's hard to call something a PC if it's not x86 based.
If you include ARM computers into the PC category, you could say the same of tablets and smartphones with a keyboard case.
Don't tell anyone, but I suspect it's a pc with a GPU. Maybe even a hard drive. Wild!

I was surprised when I accidentally clicked on it and saw my profile.
In retrospect this is the type of news you would expect if AI was secretly taking over the world.
It always was going to, because of the amount of money thrown at it (and the amount of money that could be saved by firing workers to try to replace them with AI software). Only now are folks actually talking about what was found in the product announcements (because now there's a reason to).
