Phoenix: Open-Source NuBus FPGA Accelerator for 68040 Macs

Decades ago I read a quote from Larry Ellsion. The founder of Oracle suggested to design a distributed way to interconnect computers, to prevent a monopoly of parties that might be interested in centralised control (as they exist, today).

People sure do change. "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on." Larry Ellison, Oracle Financial Analyst Meeting, 12 September 2024.

He posited in that meeting that AI systems ceaselessly monitoring feeds from ubiquitous surveillance video cameras would make it possible.
