#hailo8l — Public Fediverse posts

@thelinuxexperiment

The 'AI accelerator' module @mechasystems are testing for the Mecha Comet is made by the militaristic Israeli AI firm Hailo [1,2].
The chairperson of Hailo was formerly president and CEO of the zionist Bank Leumi which contribute significantly to the decades-long colonisation and occupation of Palestinian land, and contributes significantly to Israels ongoing genocide of palestinians [3-5].
Bank Leumi is on the divestment shortlist of the BDS movement [6,7].

Supporting and legitimising genocide is not cool of anybody. That includes producers of an otherwise very cool little Linux handheld device.

Even the #RaspberryPi is getting in on #AI
Raspberry Pi partnered with #Hailo to provide an optional AI add-on to its microcomputers. https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/4/24170818/raspberry-pi-ai-chip-hailo-devices

Testing Raspberry Pi's AI Kit - 13 TOPS for $70 which straps a #Hailo8L on top of a Raspberry Pi 5, using the recently-launched M.2 HAT (the Hailo-8L is of the M.2 M-key variety, and comes preinstalled).
