NYT has responded to my post by claiming that I’m “spreading conspiracy theories.” But which of us is the one trafficking in unsubstantiated allegations?
Recent coverage (including CNN, which I QT’d) shows:
— The intelligence community has not established conclusive evidence that Alice Huang knowingly acted as a spy or funneled information to Beijing.
— There is internal disagreement about the strength of the evidence and whether she was recruited by the MSS.
— Attorney General Todd Blanche has said on the record that the Justice Department, he, and FBI Director Patel have reached no conclusions about “who she is or is not.”
— Some officials at ODNI and CIA have indicated the “Chinese spy” label is not fully accurate or is “over-torqued” based on the available intercepts and collection.
— Incoming House Intelligence Chairman Jim Himes, a Democrat, said it was still unclear whether Alice Huang was a Chinese spy immediately after he was briefed.
NYT’s stories (which have alleged “Chinese spy” dozens of times) have relied exclusively on anonymous officials. No official has gone on the record affirming it as established fact, and the more recent reporting reflects greater caution and disagreement inside the government.
So when I point out that the spy narrative is unconfirmed and increasingly contested, that is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a growing body of evidence that indicts the NYT’s reporting.
Bombshell story. The spy narrative is collapsing already.
Is there clear & convincing evidence that Alice Huang was a Chinese spy?
- AG says no. (“no conclusions reached”).
- CIA says no. (“not yet convinced”).
- DNI says no (“not entirely accurate and over-torqued”).
- Ranking Democrat on House Intelligence (incoming Chairman) says no. (“today, at least, I don’t know”). This was immediately after he was briefed.
Who argues otherwise? Anonymous officials tell CNN “it strains credulity to believe that she was not acting as an agent of the Chinese government — simply by virtue of the fact that she is a successful Chinese businesswoman working with one of America’s most powerful companies.”
This is their proof after a year of investigating and surveillance? That she was a “successful Chinese businesswoman”?
At this point, the only crime that we know for sure happened is the leaking of the classified memo. Who did that and why?
An investigation should be opened.
Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong: Some great insights on how they are using internally hosted AI Agents.
"It’s connected to every Slack message, every Google Doc, and every Salesforce data confluence. Now, this is all linked up and the data is all aggregated, so you can ask these agents questions. Every team is using it—legal, finance, everything.
It’s like the "Oracle of Coinbase." I’ve started to ask it things that go beyond just simple prompting, like "Hey, can you write this kind of memo for me?" I’m asking these AI agents now, as CEO, "What should I be aware of in the company that I might not be aware of?"
It will tell me, "Did you know that there’s actually disagreement on this team about the strategy?" I realized I didn't know that, but the AI does because it can read every Slack message and every Google Doc. Tobi, who is on my board, calls this "reverse prompting." Instead of telling the AI agent what you want to do, you ask it what you should be thinking more about."

I am in a bubble.
In 2025, 25 data center projects were canceled due to community pushback. That’s up from just 6 in 2024 and 2 in 2023.
The opposition is notably bipartisan, driven overwhelmingly by one thing: rising electricity prices for local residents.
In Q2 2025 alone, 20 projects were blocked or delayed, putting $98B in potential investment at risk.
The 2025 cancellations represented ~4.7 gigawatts of lost electricity capacity. Using OpenAI’s own estimate of revenue per gigawatt (~$10B revenue per gigawatt), those cancellations represent ~$50B in lost AI revenue in a single year.
Applying a 20x earnings multiple and its $1 trillion in lost enterprise value. In one year!
And it’s not getting better…
At least 99 data center projects are currently being contested nationwide. Historically, ~40% of projects facing sustained opposition are eventually canceled.
This means many more gigawatts, billions in revenues and trillions in enterprise value are at risk if we don’t turn this around.
The core problem as I see it: local residents are being asked to subsidize AI infrastructure through higher electricity bills with no upside. That’s not a sustainable ask.
Until we solve the electricity cost equation, community opposition will remain a systemic and under-priced risk to the AI sector and the broader economy.

It combines all the best practices shared by Claude Code creator:
Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code at Anthropic) shared on X internal best practices and workflows he and his team actually use with Claude Code daily. Someone turned those threads into a structured 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗘.𝗺𝗱 you can drop into any project.
It includes:
• Workflow orchestration
• Subagent strategy
• Self-improvement loop
• Verification before done
• Autonomous bug fixing
• Core principles
This is a compounding system. Every correction you make gets captured as a rule. Over time, Claude's mistake rate drops because it learns from your feedback.
If you build with AI daily, this will save you a lot of time.
