AI on the Ballot

Data Centers were on the ballot, and they lost in a major way; what does it mean if American opposition to building is permanent?

[NoTechBen @NoTechBen]

I never thought it would happen. The Brewers did it. I can die happy.

[Ben Thompson @benthompson]

@clausiusiv @firstadopter I don’t think we’re necessarily in disagreement. Kurian is certainly the driver of what is happening, fbofw

United CEO Scott Kirby joins @benthompson and me to break down the airline business: justifying big capex, how they do route planning, what other CEOs screw up, the Starlink decision, why everyone misunderstands the credit card economics, and lots more.

I always intended Stratechery to have a sponsorship component; it just took me 12 years to get back to it. That I could do so with the company that made the subscription business possible makes me so happy. There is nothing better than endorsing a product you whole-heartedly believe in.

[Patrick Collison @patrickc]

Ben has for many years been the best analyst in tech. I’m very much looking forward to this new @stratechery + @stripe partnership.

Presented by Stripe

Do You Trust Apple?

Apple has a lot of trust in terms of delivering integrated products and preserving privacy; the real trust question is if you think Siri AI will justify investing more in their ecosystem.
