Thoughts on the Cowen debate: 1) I think Cowen looked at the world in the aughts and realized “I can be a normal economist or the world’s most influential blogger” and he clearly chose the latter. This was a good choice, and has led him to great heights. 2) Breadth is its own sort of depth, and the world has great need of generalists who actually do the reading 3) One reason #2 matters: most public intellectuals of a certain stature—the stature where they are invited to dinner parties with fancy people—are reduced to publicly recycling the opinions of the other dinner guests. There are lots of reasons why that happens but one obvious one is that the pundits in question don’t actually have the breadth of experience or reading to reflect on dinner party opinion. Tyler is this one of the few public intellectuals whose opinions are reliably made better because of his access to the high and mighty. 4) There is probably no academic in America who has a larger number of mentees; I cannot think of any academic who has jump-started more careers than Cowen has. It was only possible because of reasons 1-3. This is a significant achievement. It will be his greatest legacy. Full disclosure: I have received grants from Cowen myself so I am biased in the ways you would expect.

if you can aggregate verified GPU contracts across clouds, regions and financing structures, you effectively own the compute price curve and if compute becomes a multi trillion dollar input to the global economy, that benchmark quietly becomes one of the most important financial reference points in tech. that’s a serious moat!

compute is the new oil. naturally that means someone needs to build a futures market for it. @OrnnExchange and pluto.trade (dcm + dco licenses) are interesting early attempts at the infra layer

@Haider for the culture 🔥
