Tiebreaker
gollark: The nice thing about advancing technology is that it gets more feasible as time goes on.
gollark: There *are* dedicated "AI accelerators" on modern SoCs, too, maybe that could help.
gollark: And mobile processors tend to improve in efficiency as time goes on, and then the gains get used to just make the phones thinner and run more useless background services or something.
gollark: You could carry around extra battery capacity in a backpack or something.
gollark: Maybe they punched someone they disagree with.
