How do you automate the mines to get the raw materials to make the compute from, and build additional fabs that take a almost a decade to stand up. You're actually delusional.

Hello good sir from the 1700s pre-industrial revolution who doesn't think that mines and factories can be automated.
The factories that supply the equipment, maintain the equipment, the energy inputs, the financials of those mines are not automated.
People on hackernews are actually some of the dumbest people on the internet. This place is worse than lesswrong.
The question of whether something can be automated is distinct from the question of whether it is currently automated. Things can can be automated may transition to being automated in practice in the future as technology improves and investment deepens.
Some mines are already heavily automated: https://youtube.com/watch?v=_Z9w-mUoUsY
