AI is useful for some things, but not the kind of discovery that humankind will need. It relies on what is known, what has been done.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

So, Trump tariffs led to China getting soybeans from other nations and farm equipment prices rising. And for that we are giving the farmers another $12B bailout and selling China chips?
