I live in the U.S. and would like to support our businesses, however the U.S. is neither the leader in semiconductor/electronics manufacturing nor in power production and availability, and without those, they will not end up being the world leader in AI- China will.

This is basically my take as well. Even if we sprint ahead at first, it's not going to be the magical superpower we think it will be, and their systemic advantage will win over the long horizon.

I’m a big fan of WarGames.

It would be great to have something that could speak like Joshua.

I had a Votrax back in the 80s, similar to the following, which was awesome:

Joshua was actually voiced by actor Jim Wood (Falken), though. Jim read the lines backwards and then they chopped it up and did some audio processing on it:

Oh really, it doesn't sound too dissimilar to text to speech software in the 80s.

I hate to complain about styling, but when I can’t read it, I have to say something about it.

This has a strange CSS styling problem on my phone. There’s no left margin in portrait, so it’s basically unreadable, but if I go landscape it’s fine.

Use firefox. Click "reader view" on any page and read it according to your own theme. Maybe help free software win.

Flipping into reader mode constantly is clunky and jarring. People shouldn’t use that as an excuse for poor styling.
