Perhaps Google look at these questions like they consider office space: renting the expertise vs owning it. There are pros and cons...

It's worth noting that AI so far only has 'second hand' input to understand the world. No direct experience, and what it does "know"...

Exactly!
Side note: perhaps we should wait until Fab 52 is loaded to half of planned production capacity before we say 18A is ramped...
