Crypto has broken into the national discourse this election cycle.

So we measured swing states’ relative levels of crypto interest.

Two battlegrounds expected to be among the tightest races in November — Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — have seen the fourth- and fifth-biggest jumps in crypto search interest since the last election in 2020, measured as a proportion of total searches using Google Trends.

Exowatt launches today! ☀️

The power requirements to scale AI are astronomical. Within a decade AI will require 650TWh of new power generation – more than the electricity demand of South Korea. In the U.S. alone, data centers will require the equivalent amount of electricity to power 40 million households by 2030.

Exowatt P3s can generate electricity at scale at just a $0.04 LCOE and with entirely renewable tech. That’s lower than the cost of most fossil fuels and doesn’t account for subsidies. We have already amassed a 1.2 GW backlog, worth $Bs from the mega tech hyperscalers, energy and data center companies.

The system works by capturing the sun’s energy in the form of heat, storing it in a heat battery and converting it to electricity via a heat engine even when the sun is no longer out. This changes the economics of solar by solving a problem called the “Duck Curve” where all conventional solar producers are forced to sell their power at the same time while at maximum output, driving the electricity cost sometimes to zero or negative intraday and leaving no supply at night. Data centers need to operate 24/7 and typically have 60% of their OPEX from energy costs, so an inexpensive and ever available alternative is very important to them. Data centers are straining to bring capacity online and without solutions like Exowatt, are being forced to turn to fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.

We hope you’ll join us in pushing forward an abundant and non fossil fuel powered future!⚡️

something i've been thinking about a lot for last couple years is why, *specifically*, generative art has found its native format & true "home" on blockchains? (even while predating blockchains by several decades)

i have many thoughts but am curious for others' answers here;

We've all seen brands be applauded & punished for speaking out on social/cultural issues. These days its a damned if you do, damned if you don't and good luck finding consensus. @TheHustle What's your brand's take?
