@mcuban Wisest assesment I've ever had, and in so short a speech! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

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.

Name one beaming example of how great Communism works… there’s not a single example

In fact there’s 100s of millions dead from it

Capitalism is not perfect either but it’s the only thing that aligns with human nature (wanting to profit proportional to effort/talents) and no other system compares to its success

Questions are everything.

Because the people who never stop asking are the ones who find answers.

@cb_doge Highly questionable and sort of naive on the part of Elon..

[Andrew Bridgen @ABridgen]

Leaked video of Mark Zuckerberg where he warned his Facebook execs NOT TO GET VACCINATED with the mRNA (COVID) vaccines because "we don't know the long-term side effects of modifying people's DNA & RNA"

He censored doctors, scientists, and the sick who denounced the ‘Vaccines"

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

This idea from some people that the government should heavily tax @elonmusk - the world's best capital allocator - and transfer a significant portion of that wealth to the government, one of the worst capital allocators, makes little sense, especially since much of his earned wealth exists because the companies he built have become far more valuable by creating products and services people value and are willingly to pay for.

Elon may have a high net worth, but virtually all of it is tied up in company stock. He doesn't have tens of billions of dollars in cash. Taxing his wealth would likely force him to sell significant amounts of that stock, putting downward pressure on the share price and negatively affecting millions of people who themselves own shares in those companies directly or through ETFs, mutual funds, pension funds, and 401(k)s.

I think I saw somewhere that Elon's companies have paid over $100 billion in salaries. Those salaries are taxed. Beyond that, his companies have already generated enormous economic value for America and the other regions that his companies operate in.

You want Elon Musk to do good for the world? Great, he already is:
• Tesla: Accelerating the transition to sustainable energy and developing safety technologies like FSD that saves lives.
• SpaceX: Expanding internet access through Starlink in underserved and low-income regions, saving the U.S. government $40 billion (according to the Pentagon), and restored America's ability to launch astronauts from American soil again.
• Neuralink: Giving paralyzed individuals new levels of independence with brain chips. Next, they aim to give blind people the ability to literally see.

Taking capital away from someone who has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to turn it into productive businesses, jobs, innovation, and economic growth, and handing it to a government with a far less effective track record of capital allocation - doesn't strike me as a good trade. Elon's wealth isn't a bug in our system, it's a feature of living in a country where entrepreneurs have the opportunity to build companies that create enormous value for society.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman on how ‘social justice’ destroys a society:

“If I have a philosophy that everything belongs to society—if something happens to me, that’s not my fault, that’s because society did it to me—then the whole concept of property loses its role.”

“Why shouldn’t I steal? Why shouldn’t I destroy property? After all, it’s nobody’s. It belongs to everybody, so it belongs to nobody.”

“Moreover, if I happened to be in a lower-income group, or a deprived social group, or a discriminated-against racial group, that’s the malevolence of other people. It’s not my fault, and I have every right to get back at them.”
