That's the real problem. The US can't sign any binding agreements. Even if their congress ratifies them, which is a big if, they have enough emergency executive powers that any random president can just decide they'd rather not abide by them.

Even if the demands hadn't been ridiculous, it's insane to sign any kind of agreement that results in lasting changes when the other side can just change their mind any time they want. That goes for trade, defence, nuclear non-proliferation. The US is going to find out that their perfidy has very high costs for everyone.

This is the first time, the planet got heated up by human caused CO2 emissions.

Well, depending on what you mean by "first time" sure. It's not the first time civilizations got screwed by not recognizing climate changes though, and it's also not the first time civilizations screwed themselves by changing the climate.

The difference this time is that the involved civilization isn't some Mayans in Central America or a bunch of islanders in the middle of the Pacific. It's all of us.

It can, and is. Interaction with the real world is harder and takes longer because we don't have giant piles of training data sitting around ready to go like we do for images and text. There are also safety concerns and cost barriers that aren't there with things like text.

No post processing needed. LLMs sound like they do because that style was prominent in their training data and was scored highly by their trainers. If you ask most of the language models not to use excessive punctuation, lists, headings, polish your knob, and write at a grade six level, they generally sound reasonably human.

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.
