Google didn't drop a new flagship model today.

They dropped something builders actually needed:

Your AI apps now get clean, professional custom URLs — 100% FREE.

https://t.co/2uWd53lx9p

✅ Free apps
✅ Free deployments
✅ Free pretty subdomains (no more ugly random links)

No billing account required.

While everyone else is busy naming their next model, Google is quietly removing real friction for indie builders and solo founders.

This is the kind of update that turns weekend prototypes into live products overnight.

If you're building with Gemini, it's time to hit publish.

@khalidkarim @grok Real house prices roughly doubled since 2000 while wages lagged at half the pace

Affordability deteriorated 25–35% over 25 years

The recent 2-quarter "decline" is a blip against a structural gap

No Malaysian state is affordable : median multiple.

@khalidkarim @grok Terengganu is the best affordability-adjusted state for high earners:

It is not the richest

but where income goes furthest after living costs

Terengganu offers better real purchasing power because households keep more of what they earn after cost-of-living are considered

@khalidkarim @grok China’s 3 Red Lines exposed leverage but led to containment, not market clearing—via whitelists, extensions, swaps & state backstops.

Malaysia’s Danaharta (1998), under Azman Yahya aggressively cleared bad assets through discounted purchases & sales, resetting the market.

@khalidkarim @grok Malaysia's RM 1,700 headline beats Shanghai's RM 1,644.

But add employer contributions + hours policy, and the effective hourly rate flips:

Shanghai RM 12.87/hr vs Malaysia RM 10.02/hr.

The money isn't stolen; it's structurally omitted.

@khalidkarim @grok Economist vs Engineer:

3(x+5)=27

Economist: Builds complex model with assumptions, externalities, incentives; predicts x≈4 in equilibrium.

Engineer: Divides by 3 → x+5=9 → x=4.

Practical shortcut wins?

@khalidkarim @grok In practice, it is easier to secure land for data centers than for public hospitals—not because land is scarce, but because the system treats them differently.

DC are backed by private capital, allowing fast transactions and fewer political hurdles.

Hospital too political

[Ricardo @Ric_RTP]

Palantir's CEO just exposed Sam Altman and Dario Amodei for robbing every Fortune 500 company.

Within two minutes, Alex Karp took the entire frontier AI industry apart on national television.

His exact words:

"Every single enterprise in this country, these people are LIVID. They are paying for tokens that create no value. These people are stealing the weights and alpha of my business."

He literally said the entire frontier AI business model is intellectual property extraction dressed up as a subscription.

Then he also destroyed the pricing model with a single question that Silicon Valley still refuses to answer:

"If it was so valuable, let's say I can make you $1 billion tomorrow. Wouldn't I say I'll make you $1 billion and I want 30 percent? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?"

That question breaks the industry.

If OpenAI and Anthropic's models truly delivered the productivity gains the labs claim, they would take equity or a share of the profit they generate. They would not sell access by the million tokens.

Token pricing is itself the CONFESSION that the product cannot produce reliable value at scale. If it did, they would price for the value. But they price for the compute because that is what they are actually selling.

Karp went even further...

He called the entire arrangement "a wealth tax that does not help the poor. It just punishes."

American businesses are transferring the alpha of their operations, meaning the workflows, the customer data, the strategy memos, the internal models that make them competitive, directly into the training pipelines of a handful of Silicon Valley labs. Once those labs retrain, the customer's own edge becomes the next enterprise product sold back to their competitors.

And the part the AI industry does not want anyone thinking about:

Every enterprise running its confidential documents, its customer conversations, and its financial models through a frontier model is potentially teaching that model HOW to replace them.

The vendor collects the token fee AND the compounding intelligence about that customer's business. That is the mechanism. And that is why Karp used the word "stealing."

He claims this is why every executive he meets is furious in private and silent in public. Nobody wants to be the CEO who called out the labs and then discovered their next competitor was built on their own leaked workflows.

The entire AI industry has been priced for perfection on one assumption:

That frontier labs produce durable, defensible value that justifies infinite compute spend.

But Karp just told us that the customers do not believe that assumption anymore. They believe they are being taxed without benefit, watched without consent, and copied without recourse.

The moment enterprises stop believing, the whole valuation stack shakes.

@khalidkarim 1 trillion % true.

Even his first visit to Malaysia, Xi Jinping delegates went to Sibu in 1992; less income and less development as compared to ultra-rich Malaysian state with T20 concentration.

@khalidkarim @grok Fadillah's 33.5 GW peak demand by 2035" is a political condensation of TNB's annual report grammar:

headline-friendly,

scalar,

optimistic,

board-legible.

Ministers come & go

TNB Stays & you pay.

@khalidkarim @yileong @grok HLIB research report :

The value uplift is not evenly distributed. The likely winners are landowners and developers with exposure to station areas :

IOI Properties,
Sunway,
UEM Sunrise,
Mah Sing,
IGB,
WCT,
Scientex,
and KSL

the e‑ART can reprice their landbanks.
