@BenjaminDEKR Both can be true. A product can drive fast revenue growth and be the future, and still lose money today. If that weren't common, there'd be no need for venture capital. US VC has put ~$1T to work in the last 3 years.
@flywithaopa Glad you’re staying. Don’t treat X like a magazine RSS; put the take/image/etc in the post, links in the reeply, & show up on the fights that matter (ADS-B fees, airport closures, medical). X isn't influencer-land, it's for news & learning. AOPA needs to be LOUDER here.
@DanielleMorrill Ask your various bots to keep their own per-day journal of thoughts, learnings, work completed, work underway, etc. I've found it really helpful to track what "we" have done. I have them publish their entries to a private web site.
The case for *total* Linux victory (desktop, mobile, server, iot, robots, embedded…):
1) Most agent-programmable
People will want fully personalized computing experiences. macOS makes it hard to even ship a tiny app to your menubar.
2) Open source training data
Blender beats all its competitors because it's optimal in the most important dimension: agents can train on it and use it efficiently. OSS wins.
3) Design being democratized
macOS has historically had a 'monopoly' on beautiful OS design. The global design community is now huge, they're motivated, they have tokens.
4) Computing moving to cloud sandboxes
More and more of our personal and professional computing experiences will come from agents that orchestrate work in the cloud, using sandboxes. Those sandboxes will be Linux. Bonus: seamless continuum between local & remote
5) Security
Every piece of software is now at major risk, Linux included. But Linux has the collective investment of everyone on the planet throwing tokens at it.
@davepl1968@realwillreil #1 - it's not open source. I didn't care about this until AI. Models know linux inside and out - they've trained on its source. Windows is now a bunch of black-boxes with documented interfaces. I can shape Linux to do whatever I want now. Windows, not so much.
We should build nuclear-powered data centers on existing U.S. military bases.
This solves many problems at once:
The gov already owns and controls the land (bases are often huge), so no zoning complaints.
Protestors? Talk to the Marines at the gate.
Navy already operates a fleet of many compact, reliable nuclear power plants on submarines and ships.
The on-base reactors can be used for vital training for our nuke operators.
These datacenters can be used for both government and public access, as a taxpayer-funded service.
One submarine-sized reactor (~70 MWe electrical equivalent) could power a mid-sized dedicated AI cluster or a large inference facility... comparable to a single 50–80 MW hyperscale building.
One carrier reactor (~200 MWe electrical equivalent) could power a substantial AI campus, on the order of a 150–200 MW training cluster.

Norway discovered off-shore oil in 1969. It launched its sovereign wealth fund with $300m in 1996.
It’s grown 7,000x to $2.3T or $400,000 per Norwegian (5.7m people).
The fund owns 1.5% of all global equities but, most impressively, had a UX designer put a real-time fund value tracker on its website landing page.
