While the USA spent a $trillion on LLMs, China spent the past two decades mass making chip shooters and pick and place machines like above.
Your LLMs aren't even fast enough to process or compete vs 15year old technology.
Now USA has pick and place machines and other such equipment. But we are slower and we don't have nearly as many. And despite better software here in the USA out setup costs are far higher (jlcpcb orders are prewired up with premade libraries because of huge volumes of orders. USA has fewer orders and thus requires a human to setup each line).
