I have always been confused by these issues of corporate governance. All these things seem like they should be owned by real human beings, but it is impossible for me to understand who actually owns and controls these companies. They are simultaneously treated as their own entities that make their own decisions while also being completely controlled by a few big shareholders. And often these shareholders are themselves companies, perhaps owned by other companies. And then you get weird stuff like Porsche's attempt to purchase VW, which wound up with VW purchasing its own largest shareholder. It's all incomprehensibly far removed from what the goods and services that are the real purpose of our economy.
Also, the CPU in the picture is upside down. Maybe this is a shallow criticism (especially since the picture was probably chosen by an editor), but I am reluctant to listen to people who would make such a basic mistake.

If you want to hear the opinion of someone who is actually involved in CPU design, this is a ridiculously shallow take, and you should seriously recalibrate
I am well aware of that, but it's so ludicrous that it reflects badly on the publication. The presence of that picture shows that no one knowledgeable looked over the article before it was published. What else could have slipped by the editors?
