Hardware is going to gert significantly more expensive and hard to come by. Really regretting selling several old desktops, laptops, old Pis.

I remember reading a review of Neuromancer once, where people were making light of the thing with Linda Lee stealing Case's black-market RAM, on the basis that RAM is now a dirt-cheap commodity and not something that would hold great value.
My, how times have changed...

I didn't read the linked article because it's paywalled but I was able to find relevant information on multiple other websites. So RPi stock went up ~40% because of a twitter post saying RPis can run OpenClaw and are cheaper than Apple hardware? None of that makes any sense to me. Are people really that stupid?

Yes. Most people have close to zero understanding of tech, and are instead very heavily influenced by what they hear and see online, on social etc. They won’t think too deeply about the detail and therefore will make false assumptions.

Stupid how? You can easily run OpenClaw on an RPi.

The past decade has led to the scales falling from my eyes as I come to understand just how incredibly stupid and short-sighted people are.
Even worse, there is a direct correlation between the most stubborn people being the most short-sighted, as they refuse to change course no matter the cost.

Donald Trump is President.
RFK Jr. is Secretary of Health and Human Services
Linda McMahon is Secretary of Education
...
Do you really have any doubts about the limits of stupidity? :-(

There is a considerable overlap between people who believe that a reality tv personality has real power and those who believe that reality tv is unscripted.
