I would gladly pay Apple $30,000, like I will get financing and see this as a new car payment, for a machine where all chips are full open source and documented and detachable and auditable.


Full open source of their latest chips? Make that $30 billion and you’ve got a deal.


> $30 billion

No chance. That's one month of revenue. Maybe one quarter of profit.

You might get a meeting if you opened with $300 billion, but just to satisfy Tim's curiosity. I bet they'd still turn you down.


At that point, offer it to TSMC, and reserve capacity to make a chip to build one computer and call it PineApple.
