There's an everything memory shortage. The reason, allegedly, is that OpenAI and then some of the other AI companies, bought up all the fab capacity to make mostly HBM. The memory fabs are fairly multipurpose: they can switch to make different things. The new ones probably can also but even if not, they will take pressure off the existing ones.

Anyway, you can type "new memory fabs under construction" into Google yourself and select whatever articles you think are relevant to your specific pecadillo.

1. You're being a silly pedant. They mean changing how advanced math is done. Mathematicians using AI to generate and check proofs, for example.

2. You might be surprised at how your pedantic interpretation might turn out to be true as well. It happened around the beginning of the 20th century when mathematicians engaged in a program to formalize the foundations of mathematics by adopting axiomatic set theory. It's happening now with a new formalization program advocating machine verifiable proofs. And there are ongoing things like the Langlands program that have changed the way we think about a lot of mathematics.

There are lots of roads too.

My mother lives in a place that is probably more remote (as in distance to the nearest city > 100,000) than it's possible to get in the US outside of Alaska. Twenty years ago when they were paving the highway they also dug a trench and dropped fibre into it. The initial idea was to hook up schools and government buildings but a local started a company and just ran fibre to everyone's house, including the farmers'. They're cheaper and way more reliable than the only competitor (DSL) so pretty much everyone has 1 gig symmetric connections with the option for 2.5.
