He's probably taking a cue from someone who might say something like this:

"The best people, the smartest people, are known. That kind of intelligence is needed to make America great. The economy and the stock market are all about being smart, having an incredible brain. I can tell you, there's a great brain, a tremendous brain. Everybody knows it, everybody says it. And you know, I went to the best schools, and was a very smart person. So we're going to keep bringing in smart people, the smartest people, to get things done, and make America win again. Nobody does it better, believe me. Nobody."

(This is an amusing AI fabrication.)

If you shield your GPS antenna to only see signals from above, it will make spoofing rather difficult, unless the spoofer can afford constant aerial missions in just the right places.
If you want to get really fancy, use phased-array antennas that can "aim" at the known satellites and ignore other sources.

> processing speeds in the petahertz range — over 1,000 times faster than modern computer chips

I'm not aware of any computer chips that operate in the terahertz range.

In the first line, it mentions a factor of 1 million, which makes sense, since current chips operate in the gigahertz range.

I guess you're too young to remember full-page displays? They were designed to show you how your text would appear on a letter-size page, at scale.
Eventually, we got two-page displays, which were closer to today's aspect ratios. However, a 16" 16x9 display isn't great for even a full page
unless you scale things down a lot. For older users with presbyopia, this just doesn't work so well.

Also, the other use cases shown looked interesting: 2 virtual displays on 1, or extra space for special widgets.

Just because something doesn't fit the use case you have in mind doesn't mean it isn't useful.
