@elonmusk@PeterDiamandis I don’t get it. If the humanoid form was superior then why do we have so many profitable and essential non-humanoid robots (drones, manufacturing, cooking, cleaning, security). If you really believed, your self driving cars would just have an Optimus driver in the front seat
@DavidSacks Public utilities will be competing against data center power generation for fuel, equipment, staff, regulators, inspectors, permits, etc etc. All of this is a single national (or global) market. Residential consumers will feel it inevitably
@ianbremmer@gzeromedia I think when you reference odds like this you should mention polymarket/kalshi contract prices. Wherever your odds differ you should also place a bet
@theallinpod@Jason Wouldn’t you predict this will drive up prices in construction? Wouldn’t this exacerbate the “housing crisis” / “cost of living crisis”? Couldn’t you just as easily say it’s all those pesky homeowners & renters that are “causing the problems” through their demand for homes?
@paulg@cremieuxrecueil But the people are there for the opportunity. The human capital and the financial capital are one endogenous system. It’s been growing in SF for a long time, but can also reverse. Look at Detroit
@elonmusk Yeah but PPP is not appropriate in that context. By market exchange rates, the US economy is much bigger. It does highlight the importance of consumer prices in comparing welfare. And why tariffs are so destructive to it
