  Fuck no, are you kidding me? This is disturbing, I can see all the good going away from Arduino.

  Welp, it was fun while it lasted for Arduino.

  Why the fuck would your Arduino board need access to “AI”?

  This is the kind of acquisition where it actually benefits the community with tight integration and more financial support for open development, in the short term.

  But once the Arduino community has added real value to Qualcomm, they will have already cycled through multiple executive teams post acquisition, and they one of them will inevitably view all investment into Arduino as a loss center.

  Then it’s only a matter of time before they pay wall or functionality behind a subscription, Arduino Pro+++.

  If you like Arduino you should consider switching to Teensy microcontrollers and PlatformIO

  Now’s the time for Espressif to spin off their own ecosystem.

    They already have it, just not an IDE.

    I believe most of Arduino libraries are open-source, so they can simply fork it.
