I'm not sure about "stuck", or that a huge international affair like ITER is a good solution. We could have maybe AI with our maybe fusion for $70 billion in 40 years ;)

But watching my 1yo learn to toddle around and navigate does show just how limited current AI is. With tons of training and battery, we can coax a computer to barely do what my 1yo does on a belly of cherrios and a few hours of trial and error.

There's lots of great stuff and some terrifying stuff happening in AI and I don't doubt more to come, but watching kids learn puts it in perspective for me.
