No, it is ALL about the material issues: the environment, and AI's implications in the future of humanity -- I don't mean that it would kill us all. I mean that it is going to kill the environment, if we don't come together to find a solution to cooling that doesn't involve water resources.
The way all "AI" CEOs and evangelists keep talking about how we all need to be more positive and believe more and talk less about the material issues ... that is how an actual innovation, a paradigm shift even, looks like, yes?

Manufacturing gained 22,000 jobs in November, which is good to see after the sector lost 48,000 jobs the previous month. But America's factories have been treading water for far too long, and it's time for policymakers to do something to remedy it, says AAM President Scott Paul.
