Compliance officers are one of the fastest growing occupations in America.

Compliance is a bigger business than you'd think. Every dollar that leaves or enters a business: paying employees, reporting revenue, and moving capital are subject to compliance.

As AI clears the "good enough to trust" bar and sales cycles speed up, there may finally be an opening for startups.

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

@pubity West Virginia took the opposite approach: stripped local veto rights for data centers, 14-day state certification. Since April 2025: Google, Microsoft, and Penzance committed $6B+ to WV. Florida just chose a different race. to WV. Florida just chose a different race.

No one talks about this, but the secret to creative excellence is having 8 projects with concurrent deadlines and overlapping meetings and being in a constant state of panic

Virginia lawmakers want to rate limited data centers.

If this law passes it pauses data center approvals until grid capacity catches up.

The scariest result of @Polymarket and @Kalshi is that it will alter real life events, not closing the gap on information.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people:

Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.

Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.

@nikitabier please don’t make X only show bad news like old media… we know bad news gets more traction but the world can use some positivity too

@rdominguezibar Compliance platform for the public sector. We use AI to uncover legal vulnerabilities in outdated local laws that expose cities to millions in financial risk and help them fix those issues. Already generative revenue and working with cities.
