I wrote a DOS assembler for the Intel 8086/8088 microprocessor!
github.com/jtarrio/pasm
In fact, I wrote it twice: once in Go, and then again in assembly, so you can bootstrap it and then run it in your DOS machine.
Only 10 kB so you can have it in the same 5¼" floppy disk as your source code!

Here's a variation ongthat circuit using parts you probably already have. Pressing the on button turns the power on. Press and release the OFF button turns the power off. A microprocessor can use a GPIO pin to shut off its own power.

It's the substance of the argument you're making.
You're arguing that because we can tell a microprocessor to draw pictures of a cell doing a thing that a transistor can therefore do the thing itself.
You're arguing that because a really complicated pseudorandom text predictor heuristic produces…

AI is a tool, like a flint, weaving loom, steam engine, internal combustion engine or microprocessor, which helps us to achieve our desired outcomes.

You *can* get down to esp32 level.
You can run a SLM on an 8$ microprocessor, and it'll happily generate text.
You won't mistake it for anything more than a gpt 1 though.
(Using TinyLlama, we're talking less than 5m parameters.)

Reading a sci-fi book about maintaining a universe-generating machine.
Think to myself: “this reads like a fan fiction about Spectre and Meltdown exploits”.
Look up the author: he’s a microprocessor architect. 🤯
Btw it’s “The Subtle Art of Folding Space”, I recommend it for fans of STEM & puns.
