It's not really about AI, it's about silicon. America sized down and dismantled the domestic silicon factories to the point where Biden had to star an initiative in early 2023 to get them back.

I think the plan was to have it built by 2027, but who knows now. Meanwhile, Trump called the CHIPS act "ridiculous" (very optimistic future, clearly) and just imposed tariffs on Taiwan.

I didn't hear about tariffs on Taiwan yet before this morning, I can't believe Trump is this dumb.

I just bought a new laptop last night just in case. A refurbished M3 Max with enough memory to run DeepSeek 70b :).
