This is on the scale of the Apollo Program and Manhattan Project when measured as a fraction of GDP. This kind of investment only happens when the science is carefully vetted and people believe it will succeed and be completely transformative. I agree it’s the right time.

The statement is a lighthearted and humorous reply referencing a fictional location from 'The Simpsons' (Shelbyville) in response to a conversation about a significant investment in AI infrastructure. It does not engage substantively with the public issue at hand.
