@chad_alt@CryptoDmack Physical distance to the data centers matters (latency) so they need to be built here. Much more likely it's a psyop from China to make us lose the AI race.
All these Europeans are complaining that Americans are suggesting improvements to soccer.
Improving things constantly is why American GDP is $30T and you still have no AC in 2026.
In our own sports, we've fixed overtime rules in the NFL, flopping rules in the NBA, and added the pitch clock in the MLB, all in the last few years.
Adapt or die.
@chad_alt@nonlocalai The also hilarious aspect of this is when do you draw the line? Is it now in 2026? Are we locked into the people, culture and history of this moment or is it people who were here 100 years ago? Maybe the Dutch? If you aren't Dutch GTFO of NYC.
Men 250 years ago: “I’ve been drinking Madeira wine, ale, rum, and hard cider since I weened off my mother’s tit. Water? Never touched the poison. On the morrow, I shall overthrow the most powerful empire in the history of the world.
Men today: “I drank a glass of wine and it ruined my life. I couldn’t even podcast. My bracelet told me I was dying.”
Thankfully we’re past the millennial pastiche phase of ‘white hipsterdom’. (Mason jars, roll-up garage doors, etc.)
In its place we have craftsmen working on meticulous replicas of dying vernacular bars.
The Peek Inn, in Greenpoint, is a fine example of the form.
@chad_alt Trump is the one forcing the either or though. He is telling the Pope to sit down and posting pictures of himself as Jesus. That's backing a lot of people into corners.
@MonkeyCharts@chad_alt I don’t know where you are flying from but at JFK there’s a Chase, AMEX, Capital One, multiple deltas including a delta one if you are balling plus the various Euro lounges which usually don’t have the best food but do have serve yourself booze which is nice
