It is worth noting, in the same issue they make an appology for claiming that Nvidia also makes its chips and not just design them. The Economist might be a very reputed journal but their technology and especially AI related takes are absolute garbage. I say this as a regular who still finds value in their business and economics sections. But god do they talk a lot of bs about technology.
This sounds like Gell-Mann amnesia
I would rate my knowledge of business/economics much higher than my knowledge of programming/technology, but I know enough about both to provide an objective valuation. I would say the science and specific countries sections could qualify for that but I skip them anyway. But overall yes, my main point was talk about how bad The Economist can be with tech topics, its like grandpa suddenly learned what blockchain is.
