Lol, it took 2 weeks for geohot to go from grandiosely announcing he's going to make ML good on AMD hardware with his own code to giving up after running into some bugs.

Psst - if you want accessible endpoint ML, we're getting pretty close to releasing compute support on our Asahi GPU drivers thanks to @lina and @alyssa's work, and @eiln's work-in-progress Apple Neural Engine driver is already running popular ML models on Asahi Linux.

@elly I even wrote a firmware disassembler for AMD, if he had the chops he totally could fix the mess :P

@Narfinger @elly Where do you think I learned to reverse engineer proprietary hardware and put Linux on it? ;)

Asahi is basically what I did at fail0verflow minus the piracy, cat and mouse games, and drama :)

Also the Asahi Linux bootloader is based on something I wrote for the Wii way back in 2008 or so.
