Great read if you pay attention to AI, data centers and/or jobs. I would add to @mcuban’s list: Immediately partner with school districts, colleges and technical schools to fund and teach AI-future-ready skills. There’s no way those institutions can catch up on their own.
It’s time for everyone to realize that the fight against data centers has nothing to do with data centers.
They have become a proxy for the hate towards AI and the concentration and accumulation of wealth it’s creating.
Until those running the big LLMs understand this and start a community tour, not to explain the benefits of AI, it’s too late for that, but to help towns and cities that may be impacted by job losses (and I’m a believer their will be a net gains in a few years), this battle is only going to get more intense and let me tell you now , no matter how much money you pay to buy politicians and races, you will lose.
One thing I have learned is being hated is not good for business.
How can they help ? They will tell you. You will need to do what they ask. Billions of dollars is a lot of money across towns and city programs. Across the major LLMs, it’s a cost of doing business.
At the same time, I would go to LA and NYC and ask the arts and creative unions what kind of programs would help and protect their artists. DO NOT GO TO THE MUSIC OR FILM COMPANIES. that will make it worse.
Don’t try to pay famous people to endorse what you are doing. That’s dumb.
Talk to artists and ask them what you can do to provide financial and creative support. Every creative I know is TERRIFIED about what AI will do to their profession. You must meet them face to face and basically do what they say.
The big LLMs have lost the PR battle. Why ? Because they all suck at putting people first. They have an SV attitude that makes them all think they are John Galt saving the
world
Given the number of data centers and power that is needed, today and going forward , If you don’t kiss the asses of the people that go to work every day, and are just trying to pay their bills, you will fall far far short of the capacity you need to make your business work.
@PJVogt I was going to tell you I’m glad you’re back, PJ, but now I see I’m late to the Search Engine party and you’ve been at it for a while. Thanks to @Freakonomics for making me smarter (as always).
This dog has been spotted all over Boston with a gigantic stuffed carrot in his mouth. People started posting their encounters with the pup in April, and it has only gotten cuter over time. The dog could not be reached for comment prior to publication. 13/10

It cracks me up that I was quoted in @glamourmag for saying "no" to being a Bridesmaid, because I don't have the time.
Hey, at least I'm consistent.
Priorities folks.
If you need to say "no" to social engagements, this is for you.

Being genuinely excited about what you do, brings a different kind of energy.
People can feel it in the room - they prefer it...
There is nothing worse than someone who clearly isn't invested, and doesn't want to be there.
Your energy makes an impression.
This is Potyi. It is his birthday. Kindly waited for a picture before completely inhaling his cake. 14/10 happy savory seventeen, tiny prince #SeniorPupSaturday
This is Harry and Paul. Paul is Harry's bodyguard. Harry is also Paul's bodyguard, but for insects and the occasional scary-looking rock. 14/10 for both
This is Star. He's very excited to go to his forever home. And very grateful to have had a temporary home that made saying goodbye so hard. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

A little holiday shout-out to @INTRUSTBank for their fraud alert system and excellent customer service today. The online purchase I made was not fraud but I'm grateful they're watching out for me and the human I spoke was fabulous on what is surely a busy day for such calls.
