Our oceans can easily support 10 terawatts of energy generation with Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion.

5 terawatts of that is in international waters.

Nothing can stop us from scaling compute.

@ChristinaPushaw Bloomberg desperately needs to read more history

[Ben Silone @bsilone]

@arcbtc @jyn_urso You don’t seem to understand much about the AI industry.

My ultimate goal is for AI to transact in Bitcoin, so ideal is really combining both Bitcoin mining and AI compute.

@GlenRoehrk42818 @DarrigoMelanie It’s easier to complain about those doing stuff than actually doing stuff

@arcbtc @jyn_urso This isn't users, countless apps use API based tokens, which are very profitable

@unexpected_ape @skdh @sama Look at the history of technology, that’s not how it has ever worked

[Ben Silone @bsilone]

@awkwardgoogle Also, people didn’t pay for cell phone plans, streaming plans, had smaller homes with less tech, cheaper cars with less tech, didn’t eat out as much, made coffee at home, saved more, invested more, etc.

@Snixtp What’s the biggest model you’ve run on that?

[Ben Silone @bsilone]

@nickmmark It’s called a pivot.

They became profitable with Starlink and government contracts, put that into Starship, focus on the moon, AI in space, more profits, colonize Mars.

@is_OwenLewis @CollinRugg I just want a Jarvis style AI engineering assistant

[Ben Silone @bsilone]

@Austen Absurd to even call that a tax

[Ben Silone @bsilone]

@is_OwenLewis @CollinRugg Hard to attract talent to work on a project like that, end up with a lot of idealists who just don’t have any skills to offer, as I know from experience

Sam Altman walked back his AI job apocalypse prediction. What changed? Real-world deployments showed augmentation, not replacement. Humans plus AI is the winning formula.

@BernieSanders Just going to steal 50% of US tech companies? Sounds like a very commie thing to do.

@DavidSacks Funny all the bots replying with “I saw a headline” and ignoring the actual data
