No, the point is not to nuke it. One point is to have control over your own hardware and (in principle) be able to make sure the software/OS is not using your devices to spy on you.

Fitst of all: very cool project! And also I know that this is the selfhosted community, but can someone explain to me the benefits of a server in my pocket compared to just having all the media directly on my phone? I mean I have a 1TB microSD in there, can open nearly everything with VLC and have not bottleneck in the wireless connection.

I think this is also a part of the OP picture. I bet the raspberry Pi is vastly more powerful than that Elliot computer cabinet.

Yes, that’s neuromorphic computing. Once we properly figure our how to make semiconductor neurons and how to connect them to each other in a big scale, AI will hopefully be less of an energy waste. The current approach with mapping these problems into GPUs is highly inefficient.

Monty Python apparently. (Although the other comment is funnier)
