There's a solution: Charge the customer once for the hardware and then add a monthly fee to be able to use all of it. Sony and Microsoft have great success with that.

Do that and an unlock hack will swiftly follow.

Lol you wut?

Do you know how expensive conventional AI setups are? An unlocked AI chip on a phone would fast replace nVidia cards in the AI scene for low level researchers, especially those dealing with sensitive data for whom cloud access is not viable.

My laptop is $1500, and is just about viable for this kind of stuff. It took it three days non-stop to create a trading model for ~22 stocks, processing 10 years worth of data for each.

Now maybe it doesn't mean much for the consumer, that's true. It means a hell of a lot for small time developers though, including those developing the apps consumers use.
