And worse, it's not even of actual strategic importance, because they're still talking about chatbot companies. Strategic importance would be real-time target acquisition from 120fps hi res satellite video. Analytic AI, not generative (i.e. the other way around)
You summarized the problem beautifully 🤝💯👏🏻

Great point. But all the economic activity around this sector it has to win or America will be destroyed economically for a decade or so

This is not the best way to ensure a US win. Firstly, China has more installed electricity capacity than the US and we both know that data centres are electricity guzzlers. The US actually needs to build approximately a minimum of 40 new nuclear power plants in the next decade if it’s to stay in the game. I assume that theoretically this EO seeks to address that as well but realistically barring the discovery or invention of new more efficient reactors, the probability of the US building this capacity in a decade is quite low. That’s saying nothing of the fact that companies like OpenAI bet the farm on LLMs with AGI being the target. As of today, it doesn’t seem like AGI is coming anytime soon
