    If AI is the chief innovation in the US, then the US is massively fucked.

    I’d much rather have a fancy shinkansen.

      You seem to be implying an argument based on Modus tollens:

      1. If AI is the chief US innovation, then the US is massively fucked.
      2. The US is not massively fucked.
      3. Ergo, AI is not the chief US innovation.

      Well I disagree with the premise 2:

      The US is massively fucked.

      With that, no conclusion can be gained from premise 1.

        I’m implying nothing. Some things are meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

        They will and are changing it, to be sure. Whether those changes are positive remains to be seen.

      No, AI is one of the chief innovations which is a huge money maker. Don’t forget the US still dominates the enterprise server market which is worth trillions. Processors and GPUs are still designed and some manufactured here. Innovation comes in all shapes and sizes, AI is just the latest buzz.
