So it's printed on plastic, how's that for dissipating heat?
We can already make processors pretty small, and we could make them in a lot of different form factors, but heat management is probably the trickiest part.
just science related topics. please contribute
note: clickbait sources/headlines aren't liked generally. I've posted crap sources and later deleted or edit to improve after complaints. whoops, sry
Rule 1) Be kind.

Sure, if you want powerful processors. But if you don't need a lot of power, you could make this into a prox card that's thin, light, and flexible, and can do whatever cryptography you need on-chip.
This could be big. The fact that it's sub-dollar, open-source, AND could be put on FlexPCBs opens up a whole lot of applications.
Only concern is the same as for RFID. They end up so cheap they're tossed into landfills or end up in waterways without a second thought. At least there, people are working on biodegradable solutions: https://bioplasticsnews.com/2020/01/12/stora-enso-sustainable-rfid-tag/
If the Flex-RV people address sustainability, they could have a real winner.
Why include an ML accelerator in a microprocessor that runs at 60 kHz? I can't imagine any ML algorithm is appropriate for something that constrained.
Yes but can your AI powered cock ring run doom?
