This is John Bachelor, conversation with my good colleague Chris Regal of Scullah.com who travels the

0:06.8

continent for his business, Scullah, Global Technology Firm, asking about 916,000 pound fab part rolling into Ohio for

0:20.6

Intel's building right now a fab center in Ohio.

0:25.0

As the artificial general intelligence ambition takes off in the U.S.

0:32.0

Other states are also entering into the building of

0:35.3

fabs and the ability to manufacture microchips.

0:38.8

Asking Chris, is this real or is this a mania on Wall Street and Chris's answer is

complex but it fits the details we have now reflecting upon how we imagine in the past what robots would be like.

1:43.8

More of this later in the show.

1:46.7

So John, I would say it's a little of both.

1:48.9

There are absolutely huge strides that can be made in many sectors through artificial intelligence and

1:54.9

AGI. Will it be Blade Runner or the Jetsons anytime soon? Probably not. But the

2:01.5

application of the technology could certainly disrupt the

2:05.0

economy in many ways in which intelligence artificial intelligence could

That being said, it's yet another part
