So much for nuclear families

What will impede AI’s vibrant development is not softening demand, but the failure to deliver electricity necessary to process and store data. This is the bottle neck.

There’s not a single photograph that captures the current state of this country better.

A lot of hype about the choice few seem to want as the new mayor in New York but is this in reality a case of the horses having already left the barn ? @BillAckman @andrewrsorkin @BeckyQuick

Who isn’t asking "how did Zohran get here." Well, consider NYC hourly wages have gone from 35% more than the US average to 20% below US average in 5 years, but NYC rents are 2x the average of the top 50 US cities. Ouch . . . @BillAckman @MikeBloomberg @stevenmnuchin1

China has massive inherent advantages over the US in terms of AI : - access to almost unlimited cheap energy - open source architecture - access to data to train and infer Expect superior results to manifest ⁦@DavidSacks⁩ ⁦@BillGates⁩

Sanity prevails among Dutch voters as pendulum swings toward the centre. Dutch tend to be a leading indicator for rest of Europe. Also refreshing to see an upbeat “It is possible” campaign winning against pessimistic, fear mongering far right campaigns we’ve grown accustomed to

The untold story at Tesla is how Musk’s hand-picked board chair has become nearly a billionaire supporting him. Since Denhom joined Tesla’s board she has generated $682 million in compensation and cashed in most of her shares. ⁦@elonmusk⁩

> 50% of Apple profits now come from captive services. iPhone users enable Apple to earn up to 30% commissions on pass through internet orders and payments. A gold mine in view of negligible service Apple provides for such massive remuneration.

If Trump wants to deserve Nobel Prizes and other accolades for being a cause for good, he should impose tariffs linked to co2 emissions. Longterm this is what matters to all of us most.

The value of living in the U.S. is dropping rapidly. Maybe @howardlutnick et al need to reduce price of visas and passports offered to foreigners to reflect contracting demand. https://t.co/hLUoTrrCQl

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt: “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist." https://t.co/QFwLJrFY6C

Global solar and wind power surges despite US green cuts under Trump via @FT The global energy agency said it expected the US to add 250 GW of new renewable power by 2030. China added about 290GW of wind and solar in the first six months of this year.

America stands alone among wealthy nations in promising its youth the transformative hope of higher education, only to saddle them with a lifetime of crushing debt. A launch pad has become an anchor—thatwith each passing year, grows heavier @richardquest @LHSummers @DavidSacks
