Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia:
❄️ ~4°C average annual temp = free cooling most of the year

In the AI race, chips matter. But power and cooling decide who scales.

@StockMKTNewz 9 of the top 10 are tech/AI. The only old-economy name left is Saudi Aramco, sitting at #10. Oil used to run the world. Now compute does.
@SawyerMerritt People asking “what’s the point” are missing it. Games are just the training ground. An AI that can use any screen like a human can use any software — Excel, ERP, CAD — with zero API needed. That’s the real product.
@Polymarket I run offline AI classes in China. The demand is real — students aren’t asking “will AI take my job”, they’re asking “how do I use it tomorrow at work”. That shift in mindset matters more than any policy.
@unusual_whales Can I ask it things like “show me unusual call flow on NVDA today and explain what it might mean”? That would be a game changer for retail traders.
