Is that where AMD is innovating? Getting in early (for x86) on chiplet design, pushing Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) etc?

He's referring to this article by the same author: https://www.wired.com/story/15-minute-cities-conspiracy-clim...

There are very valid criticisms of the "15 minute city" including the widespread surveillance required to enforce certain proposed traffic restrictions (by personally identifying drivers and only allowing access to some areas at certain times). Councils and national governments in the UK have long abused data gathering to the detriment of its citizens. Unfortunately the Guardian and its ilk have derided critics of these plans as far right extremists and conspiracy theories.

They plan to have 3rd party companies that do verification. Of course this will be a privacy disaster and likely intentionally so.

The Tories are obsessed with weakening privacy and data protection laws. It's part pro-business/anti-consumer ideology, part dislike of the EU and its goals and a large dash of corruption. See for example giving away NHS data to Palantir, a company literally funded by the CIA.
