The AI buildout will be stopped the hard way

▬▬▬ CLIP ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Everyone talks about AI as if the future is already inevitable. But Craig Tindale argues that the real bottleneck is not software, it is matter. The West outsourced its industrial base, China controls many of the key refining and supply chain chokepoints, and the materials needed for AI, energy, chips, and defense may simply not be available at the scale people assume. This clip explains why the next era may be defined less by abundance and more by physical constraints.
