Yeah, I’ve done something similar with ~120 wifi bulbs for a light show that responded to music and that worked fairly well but I doubt it would have worked with more than a few hundred.
Nah I don’t hate AI but an AI cannot do math faster than the hardware designed to do it. It’s like saying an emulator is faster than the bare hardware. The AI would have to find a revolutionary new way of solving the equation to make it faster than the hardware.
