Livestreaming our factory launch exclusively on @X. Tune back in 3/20 at 12pm CT to celebrate with us as we Reindustrialize America.

We've been working to bring something big to The Shoals, and now, it's time. On March 20th, we'll be launching our newest facility - Factory 4 - in Alabama. Expect: • 2.25M sq ft of manufacturing • 1,000+ jobs created • $2B in Private/Public investment • Remarks from @SenKatieBritt, @SenTuberville, @RepMikeRogersAL, @Robert_Aderholt and other senior officials • A private concert from our favorite rock band of all time, local BBQ, and the best entertainment Alabama has to offer Building for America is worth celebrating. Apply for an invite here, spots limited → HadrianAlabama.com

One of the biggest analytical mistakes playing out in the AI policy debates right now is applying the social media engagement model to AI. Social media platforms make money when you stay around and keep scrolling. But AI systems PAY for every interaction in compute and electricity. The incentive structure is fundamentally different. AI companies have strong incentives to maximize usefulness per interaction rather than maximize time on platform. Social media optimized for time on platform, engagement loops, and ad impressions. The economics of an advertising feed are fundamentally different from the economics of a compute-intensive AI tool. Social media companies can afford to optimize endlessly for engagement because the marginal cost of another scroll is essentially zero. AI systems face the opposite constraint: every additional interaction increases cost and consumes scarce compute. Sam’s comment here is actually revealing. Even something as simple as saying “please” and “thank you” costs tens of millions of dollars. But a lot of state-level policy debates are importing social media concerns directly into AI regulation. This confusion is especially showing up in new efforts to regulate “chatbots” and “companion bots.” Many of these proposals implicitly assume AI systems function like social media feeds with a conversational interface designed to maximize engagement and shape behavior over time. Part of the confusion is structural. The same companies, investors, and brand names often show up in both conversations, so policymakers incorrectly assume the underlying incentives must be the same. There is also a tendency to assume that because the interfaces look similar—text boxes, feeds, large tech companies—the underlying economic and behavioral models must also be the same. And we’re hearing a lot of claims about AI companies maximizing addictive engagement, but instead we see a totally different architecture and totally different incentives. AI systems aren’t distribution platforms. They are interaction tools that respond to individual prompts rather than systems that algorithmically distribute user-generated content to millions of people at once. As @KevinTFrazier recently reminded me, AI is inherently a tool for creating, learning, expressing, and self-discovery. Its use cases are endless and unknown. Treating it like social media will limit these positive outcomes. And if policy starts from the wrong economic model, which much of the conversation is doing right now, it’s very easy to get everything else wrong too.

"There's been a lot of discussion about fully automating the kill chain. No one wants that. That's not even something I've heard anyone talking about." - Smack CEO @andymarkoff "What fundamentally people are trying to do is have the right amount of human in the loop. Have humans for high-value human touch points." "Intelligent autonomy is about removing humans from low-value human touch points, and bringing them back into the system for those touch points where they need to make a decision, whether for ethical or tactical reasons, and enabling them to make decisions that help move hundreds of thousands of autonomous systems, manned platforms, and other types of unmanned platforms towards common goals across what could be a 100-million-square-mile theater."
