@sriramk Patriot. You’ve made America stronger!

[Chris Buskirk e/acc @thechrisbuskirk]

Is this the AI-driven job apocalypse I’ve been hearing so much about?

At some point the Doomers & their many followers will have to admit that productivity-enhancing innovation creates jobs & broad-based prosperity not the opposite - just like the loom, the engine, & the PC.

@lulumeservey The guy just gets it. The type of messenger we need combatting the doomers.

Speaker Mike Johnson on what Congress must deliver on AI:

1. "A single national framework that protects children, safeguards communities, supports creators, and avoids a patchwork of state regulations."

2. "Ensure our national security and well-being. Expand the American AI stack to friends and allies, while ensuring it stays out of the hands of America's adversaries and rivals."

3. "Move at the speed that victory demands. Inaction is unacceptable. While the window for American AI leadership is open, it will not stay open indefinitely."

@vercel The playbook:

- Anthropic for high-stakes reasoning
- Google for volume
- OpenAI for balance.

Match your model to the “cost of being wrong.”

"You didn't become the banking G.O.A.T. by losing money. Why is investing in defense good for your shareholders?"

Jamie Dimon on JPMorgan's $1.5 trillion security and resiliency initiative:

"I am a patriot. I started to really worry about this after the invasion of Ukraine."

"We hired Todd Combs to invest $10 billion of our own money into companies that need money, need a little help. It's commercial, 100% commercial."

"Some of the weaknesses isn't that the companies can't double their production, it's that they don't have the workers who can double their production — electricians, welders, engineers."

@zebulgar “Humanity will not reach the stars simply because governments decide to send us there. Our path to the stars must run through companies that create real physical products, serve real customers, and generate shareholder value along the way.”

Back-of-envelope numbers for 1 gigawatt data center:

All-in Capex: ~$50 bn
Enterprise revenue generated: ~$25-30 bn/year
Electricity cost: $1-2 bn/year

~2 year payback.

The boom is real.

@HillValleyForum @jgebbia Reminds me of Biden’s pointless Calibri font overhaul at State. Praise God for @ndstudio

[The Hill & Valley Forum @HillValleyForum]

"America will win the AI race if two things happen: if government resists the siren song of control, and if industry steps up as our patriotic partner."

@SpeakerJohnson: "President Trump gave us a monumental task. He said we have to make America the world leader in artificial intelligence. He compared this competition to the dawn of the Space Age."

"Here in Congress, we want to ensure American AI is the gold standard of the future, and we intend to do that."

"One of the big discussions in German rearmament is replacing Starlink. And I look at my German friends and say, 'You're not even a space power! You have no launch capability! What Starlink?'
