Does anyone know what their chips are doing? Do you, really?
Until we have desk side silicon fabrication/placement, with accompanying tunnelling microscope features, we simply cannot trust our silicon in any way other than through utterly peaceful means, which is to say, through systems of human trustworthiness.
Technology never allows us humans to advance sufficiently well to do without it .. unless it is evenly distributed.
Right now we are all at the mercy of the masters of silicon. This is no joke!
- BobbyTables2 1y agoEven with desk-side silicon fabrication, one would have to hope the hardware/software with the design tools wasn’t already backdoor-ed…

- matheusmoreira 1y agoAbsolutely. We'll never be 100% free until we can fabricate computers at home, just like we can write our own software at home.
- ungreased0675 1y agoYou can measure input and output with commodity equipment. That will give a good, but admittedly incomplete picture of what the chips are doing.
