I think proposing wild shit like this (buying Greenland, renaming the gulf of America, etc) is the most important thing Trump does for America.
It's a reminder that we can, actually, just do things and the only reason we haven't done a particular thing yet is because we haven't decided to.
Tech bros need to remember that they exist within a nation that has a people, not a blank economic zone
Middle class America needs to remember that national strength comes from economic and technological strength
This is a careful synthesis between these that we must strike
datacenters are the new nuclear power. we're going to make it really difficult to build them for no reason at all and it will just make things more expensive and hurt domestic industry and people will celebrate it as some huge victory
I’ve always appreciated that Trump thinks in primitives. Land, energy, chips, jobs, taxes. He doesn’t need to know what an LLM is to understand the economics of AI.
Companies should be allowed to build datacenters, because it should be legal by default to build most things you'd want on private property.
The mistake is in allowing a debate at all. Once you've allowed the debate, the anti-datacenter people's case is as good as anybody's.
When I was younger I'd read about the Ottoman empire banning the printing press or whatever and I'd think "Why on Earth would they do that? They can't all have been that retarded, can they?" but unfortunately I get it now.
Thomas Massie, who lost his primary in a landslide, is attacking Nick Shirley because Nick is exposing daycare fraud in Democrat states without also making political attacks against Trump and other Republicans.
I wish we could do another primary just to see Massie lose again.
This is incredibly bullish on Elon; people claiming models are as smart/smarter than Fable because TeStS, totally failing the anecdotal use test are ngmi
@TheChiefNerd Worth trying Grok 4.6. Fable 5 is smarter overall, but Grok is much faster and lower cost.
Grok 4.7 has a good chance of exceeding all current models in intelligence.
