Corporations can and still do fail. Some spectacularly:

There are some AI tools that can, when prompted, actually undertake fairly complex steps to accomplish a goal, including finding ways to avoid shutting down:

If it can go that far, it can certainly download a common chess engine and run it. Assuming it was given network access and permissions necessary.
What's funny is that ChatGPT wasn't able to spawn an instance of a chess engine for its own benefit.
That's ridiculous. The same unions that existed four years ago are still here. Also worthy of note:

That isn't anything to do with biofuel.
Who is "we"? And nobody wants slave labor in an automated future.
Because the subtext matters. JHH is giving the standard 20th century industrialist answer to the question of what automation does to employment. Keep in mind that from ~1970 onward, worker productivity went steadily up while leaving behind their pay.
JHH is promising more of the same, albeit perhaps for white collar employees.
Dario is predicting job loss as a way to promote his business to the sort of people who might enjoy such things. He's more of a reverse luddite than JHH.
Either way it sucks. You get fired or entire job sectors see wage depression for working harder and being more productive. At least one of them (Dario) is willing to say the quiet part out loud.
Is Trump still going forward with Musk's recommendation to deorbit the ISS in 2027?
Now they need to issue a recall on BeauHD for dupes.
Moooo! You are all cows! Moo cows moo! You slavish Hindu cows!!!
The GPU is debatable. The ARM cores are old A78s locked to a fairly low clockspeed. In terms of design, Nintendo is leaving a lot of perf/watt on the table. Older designs are cheap and don't require the latest nodes to make them work.
For what it's worth, NV is allegedly supplying chipsets to Nintendo at a cost of around $150 per unit. That's a significant step up from the cheap tx1 garbage that went into the original Switch.
Unlike MS and Sony that sell consoles at a loss, Nintendo always insists that their hardware generate a net profit.
Certainly Mr. Smith would like for AI to replace millions of people in the finance sector. But if you eliminate 60% of finance workers and make the remaining 40% dependent on AI to do their jobs, it's going to really narrow down future training data. AI will be consuming its own output.
Science, and/or the corn lobbyists.
