@FoghornAsshorn @sublimeamerica @Steve09812 You’re missing the point. No males in female sports at all levels.

@Pop_Collapse Same here. Still holding.

I plan on the YL or CT.
Not holding out for a SUV but would be my pick.

David Sacks: Everything Kathy Hochul Said About Datacenters Was a False Accusation

@DavidSacks: “These data centers become the scapegoat for all of the angst that people have about AI.

Everything she's saying there is a false accusation on datacenters. So let's just go one by one.”

POWER:

So she's saying that they eat up all of the power. Well, yeah, if you connect to the grid without producing more power and you force datacenters to compete with residential ratepayers, then yeah, you could drive up utility prices.

However, if you do what Chamath said and let them build behind the meter, then they bring their own power. And that's what the president has advocated for since the beginning of his administration, is let the AI companies become power companies.

So that is the way to solve the energy problem or the utility problem.

LAND:

Then, she's talking about eating up land. The reality is these datacenters are a model of land use efficiency.

We have a ton of land in this country, obviously.

NOISE POLLUTION:

The supposed noise pollution, that's largely made up. That can be dealt with.

You obviously don't want to put these things right next to a residential area, but create a little bit of distance, and it's fine.

WATER CONSUMPTION:

The whole water consumption thing is largely a hoax.

Modern datacenters recirculate the water.

AIR POLLUTION:

One final thing just on the point that Hochul is making. She said it created a lot of pollution.

Natural gas, which is how most of these data centers are powered, is one of the most clean burning sources of power that we have.

“When you compare economic impact to all these different things, datacenters are honestly one of the best things we could be building as a nation.”

Voter ID shouldn’t be controversial.

Obviously we need to confirm who is voting.

@DreadBong0 @Jason Perhaps Best Case for 2026

Also, he knows all this, but must speak in “realistic terms” to his audience.

[Richie Buchanan @RichieB]

@RickZabel_WNY @hackapreneur Mirror image of that

[Richie Buchanan @RichieB]

@RadoTsc @TAOTemplar I think a lot has to do with the true business nature of it versus hype and hopium of what the others “could” be.

Alex Karp on NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani:

“Obviously someone who has no work experience ever, who has views that have never worked, should not be put in charge of the most important enterprise of its kind, maybe in the world.”

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

The national income tax started as a 1% tax affecting less than 1% of all Americans.

That was in 1913.

Just over 100 years later, about 70% of Americans pay national income tax and many people pay 37% tax rate.

Important to remember as politicians talk about a new wealth tax.

Egypt forgot how to build the pyramids.

Rome forgot how to build the aqueducts. Some still carry water today. What they built still stands. Neither civilization remembers how they did it.

Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.”

Musk: “And the Romans, they built these incredible aqueducts. They forgot how to do it.”

No army invaded them. The knowledge just stopped getting used, and the moment it did, it was gone.

Same collapse. Compressed into fifty years instead of a thousand.

Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon… Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.”

Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.”

Capability doesn’t sit in a vault. It only exists inside the people doing the work right now.

The second they stop, it doesn’t pause.

It disappears.

That should not scare you. It should focus you.

Nobody loses a civilization to war. They lose it the moment they stop building.

Nobody is owed the future. It belongs to whoever keeps building it.

@APompliano I think we could stabilize the Middle East if we air condition every home. Everyone is miserable. Peace needs comfort.

@rob_svrn He wouldn’t have got much reading in if he was next to me. Lol. Can’t let that pass without digging into a conversation.

@sebyrubino I agree! Sent to my friends. Really enjoyed.
