@Natanox @Fracture to be frank: this seems like nonsense and taking extremetech as a source seems very silly
as far as I know, Sony don't, and have never, made any kind of "AI engine" IP block that could be built on silicon, and their claim that this is "integrated at the chipset level" seems to be completely pulled out of thin air. The press release makes no mention of this, and Sony sell no such thing
I'm no fan of this, but it just looks like, at worst, building in some libraries for Sony's IoT device cloud management stuff in Rasbian. Unless you have a better source, I'd say maybe try not to spread silly fear-mongering like that
@6a62 @Natanox After re-reading that article and checking its sources, I didnβt see anything about including tracking in the Raspberry Pi either.
I went searching and found up the Japanese press release in case it had more information, and it sounds more like theyβre going to be building sensors and other devices that are designed to integrate with a Pi, and in turn Raspberry Pi is listed as a verified device or something.
