A government agency spending $300 million in taxpayer dollars to produce sterilized flies sounds like a dream scenario for a DOGE team looking to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. https://t.co/3lGn15PndO
660 billion dollars of Capex this year on AI data centers.
To put a number like that in perspective this is more than what we spent on the U.S. interstate highway system (630 billion), more than what we spent on the Apollo Moon Program (257 billion), more than what we spent on the international space station (150 billion).
This is more money than Walmart’s revenue for last year ($648 billion), it’s about 25% of ALL Military spending globally, it’s equivalent to buying 50 Gerald R. ford class aircraft carriers.
It’s the equivalent of spending $1.8 billion dollars a day, $75 million dollars an hour, $1.2 million dollars a minute.
This year alone is without a DOUBT, THE BIGGEST PROJECT IN THE HISTORY OF CAPITALISM. And we are spending all of it …. In on year.
God save us.
Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered. I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it.
So after all these hours talking about AI, in these last five minutes I am going to talk about:
Horses.
Engines, steam engines, were invented in 1700.
And what followed was 200 years of steady improvement, with engines getting 20% better a decade.
For the first 120 years of that steady improvement, horses didn't notice at all.
Then, between 1930 and 1950, 90% of the horses in the US disappeared.
Progress in engines was steady. Equivalence to horses was sudden.
POLYGLOBE JUST GOT ANOTHER MASSIVE UPGRADE 🌐
DeepStateLive’s Ukraine war map is now draped directly onto the globe, live and synced with @Polymarket .
Shaded control zones, shifting frontlines, Russian/Belarusian unit icons and direction of attack arrows all sitting under your markets and OSINT in near real time.
These Ukraine geo markets confuse people constantly. is it the city limits, the oblast, “enter” vs “capture all of”?
Now, when you hover a market, we draw the exact area of operation it resolves on and spell out the rule in plain English.
No more rule debates, no more guessing what actually settles.
The only way to monitor the situation.

From 1840 to 1850, private Britons cumulatively invested 40% of British GDP into the country’s first rail network
Does anyone else find it weird how nobody ever writes about this? This would be the equivalent of US VCs spending like, $10 trillion dollars on a single thing today
Today I am heading up to Fargo for the @rrfn Big Iron Farm Machinery Show. 🌱🚜#Farmers in this part of the world are watching the lack of new crop #soybean export commitments from China, the impact on bids and basis.

WI about to have a lot of Billionaires thanks to AI applications and physical AI solutions.
I'm tracking about 15 medium to very large Data centers surrounding me in all directions totaling 8-9000 MW which means about $70 billion in annual revenue collectively just from the centers. Then comes the 1000's of AI industries and startups that will surround them. With the farms and tillable land being converted to full autonomous farm systems soon, land is about to become very expensive in SE WI.
WI about to become a playground for Engineers, land, and tech investors. Big revenue producers coming.
