Not sure who is that Patrick guy, but that is a horrible long piece of junk with literally no info in it. Other than the mention of AI, there is nothing concrete.

I don't know what is the motive, but clearly that Patrick guy is creating doubts and he seems to be pretty good at that. Maybe just another big mouth who wasted way too much time in some fancy corporate PR department?





To save everyone a click: He's the CEO. "Patrick is Chairman, President, and CEO of SiFive".


"he was Senior Vice President & General Manager at Qualcomm"

He was the Devil's right-hand man. SiFive is lost..

( joking but only half-joking )


I don’t really get why companies have the same person in so many roles, roles that are supposed to provide differing focus, checks and balances.

How much does a company need to suffer before a board builds enough numbers to kick out a person holding those 3 roles


Makes sense for a small enough company although this company sounds big enough for the president (COO?) to at least be differentiated. Then if there are investors you want a seperate chair?


Thanks. I thought the previous experience might be interesting though.


This has an AI smell to me. I mean, sure, companies have been able to produce large amount of insubstantial nonsense but this is ... new.
