Transmeta was set to revolutionise the CPU market, but the market changed alot while they tried to build their revolution. Despite Transmeta no-longer being a CPU manufacture, they did change at least one thing that’s still with us.

They hired Linus Torvalds a some point. Only for that we are all benefiting from it, even if their CPU did not succeed… 🙂↕️
That was a trip down memory lane. I think a lot of the engineers that worked at Transmeta ended up in places like Intel (and maybe Apple?) which tracks with them being an early pioneer in managing power envelopes.
Video uses AI generated imagery of real people.
“I couldn’t find a photo, here’s what ChatGPT thinks he looks like”. ChatGPT then generates a Danish-looking guy presumably on the basis of a Danish-sounding name. You make it sound like RetroBytes faked video footage or something.
No, the way you described is pretty bad.
The way you described it, “imagery of real people” is straight-up misleading: No likeness of any real person was generated. There’s no photos of him, how could his likeness possibly be generated if noone knows what he actually looks like.
Noone knows what Max Stirner looked like, either, yet we’re somehow using portraits of him. That’s the kind of thing we’re looking at here, and RetroBytes is being very transparent about it. Certainly more so than random publishing houses printing purported Stirner portraits on books.
I’m not sure who Max stirner is, but I wouldn’t like that either.
But with AI it’s easier to commit these crimes against reality.
Nah. The usual Stirner pictures (google exists, btw) are simply pictures of other people. No asking ChatGPT involved, just grab them.
