There are things we can do to help get us out of this Intel ME rut.

* Let AMD know that open-sourcing/disabling PSP is important to you [1].

* Contribute to RISC-V. You can buy a RISC-V SoC today [2]. Does your favorite compiler have a RISC-V backend?

AMD is not going to open-source or disable PSP. That thread was four months ago and they still haven't even commented publicly on it. See this recent update from 8 days ago:

If AMD really wanted to, they would have announced something by now. I can commend the AMD rep who continues to push for it, but he can't dictate company policy.
