      It’s not, it’s an AI grift. The marketing material is GenAI, the images are GenAI, and the tech claims that the fabs themselves are “AI powered”.

      Eat my fucking shorts. A chip fab isn’t a fucking modular trailer, it’s a generational factory that has the institutional knowledge and skill of multiple generations of workers. The fact that Intel couldn’t get one up and running and even TSMC can’t get one running in the US at a profit should tell you all you need to know.

      Some microscope monopolist isn’t gonna come in suddenly and “disrupt” one of the most delicate, high level manufacturing sectors in history with some Sketch Up drawings and buzzwords.

    Wait a minute, aren’t these fabs already highly modular? Like they’re basically a series of higly specialized machines from various vendors already?
