@luismmolina @dnapway This is the dumbest thing I’ll read all day. Why would anyone pay to use AI at work? Slave mindset
English
@dnapway Believe me, employees should pay for their own AI use. That is the only way. Currently the incentives are not aligned, why would I care to be efficient. Fable 5 to align a div

Chamath reveals his company's AI token costs are doubling every 45 days but productivity is only up 5%
"I sat down with my CTO today, I said how are we doing on token spend. And he said the most incredible thing, he said right now, our token costs are doubling every 45 days. I said well what is the downstream productivity? And he said maybe 5% max."
"So my costs are doubling every 45 days, my upside is essentially flat. He said honestly, what we're finding out is that you need to use a lot more tokens to get to this next iteration of improvement because we've effectively already asymptoted."
"We're going to take a step back and try to figure out what to do. I don't know how many other companies will actually go through this reckoning now, but the point is everybody in the next three or four years will for sure go through it."
"I suspect that if you can get out now, you should get out now before all of that starts to seep into the water table. Because I think that's probably what allows you to get out at a huge price and raise a huge amount of money."

I just interviewed a guy who did $100,000 in his first 100 days placing overseas talent with blue collar business owners.
He started with $200.
No tech background. No recruiting experience.
His entire tech stack to launch the company was QuickBooks, Wi-Fi, a computer, and Lovable. That's it.
What does he do?
He runs a staffing agency that connects plumbers, electricians, and landscapers with full-time admins and marketers from Latin America.
The talent costs the business owner around $1,200 to $1,600 a month full-time.
He charges his clients $4,500 to $5,200 one time to make the placement. Then he offers a $200 a month membership for ongoing support.
75% of his clients pay for the membership.
In this episode Alex:
- Breaks down exactly how he finds great overseas talent on LinkedIn and Facebook
- Shows the specific interview questions he asks to spot reliability before he ever hires
- Walks through how to close your first client with a three-sentence text
- Explains why 90% of his placements are brand new hires, not replacements for somebody who got fired
- Gives the exact payment tools and onboarding process he uses with every client
This one was really good!

Probably in 20 years there will be an interesting PhD dissertation on the impact of the USA needlessly demanding that Denmark hand over Greenland. It will discuss the consequences of bullying a good, small ally that sent troops to fight and die in Afghanistan after 9/11.

The best interest of America today, when it comes to expansion, is very simple:
1. SKIM THE CREAM: Recruit the smartest and most driven 1-3m people on the planet every year; < 1% of our population.
They create companies and jobs, while taking that economic growth away from our rivals.
2. POWER THROUGH SHORTAGES: Allow for a modest number of worker visas based on our acute needs and an immigrant's willingness to assimilate (as seen in, say, learning to speak English before arriving).
This is probably 100-500k a year on average… healthcare, agriculture etc.
3. STRATEGIC IMMIGRANTS: Allow dissidents and refugees when politically advantageous (ie from rivals)
And of course cut off all illegal immigration to accomplish this.
Geiger Capital@Geiger_Capital
Before Hart-Celler in 1965 our nation's immigration system was severely restrictive with varying national quotas. Immigrants from many countries were outright banned. It was almost exclusively Europeans because the men before us wanted to preserve our own ethnic homogeneity, demographics, culture and social cohesion. They prioritized our nation and the economic interests of American workers instead of the feelings of weak men and cheap foreign labor. The last few decades of third-world mass immigration has not been in our nation's interest.

@FischerKing64 Fixing the US is the only way they’ll be able to recruit for the next world war so they better step up

Domestically the USA is not in good shape. It is indebted, it is awash in illegal aliens, cities are littered with homeless drug addicts - our infrastructure sucks.
The best thing for the USA is to focus on rebuilding itself, and leaving the rest of the world alone.

@Cernovich I work with foreigners who criticize our country all the time. I let them know this is MY home. One of these days I’ll probably get fired for racial insensitivity. Don’t give a fck

@MD_pause @ShaunBMcGarry I thought they were taking the jobs in rural areas

Physician unemployment in the U.S. is basically zero. BLS data show near-zero across physician categories, some at 0%.
Let that sink in.
Sidelining thousands of trained physicians does not “create jobs.”
It hurts Americans, millions of them, by stripping access to care.
There is no backup bench of unemployed oncologists, cardiologists, pediatricians, or primary care doctors waiting.
And “just train more Americans” is a good goal but not an immediate answer.
The U.S. produces ~29K MD/DO grads for ~44K residency spots, and a specialist takes 10–15 years to train.
Push doctors out today, and patients lose care today.
One doctor pushed out, means family somewhere scrambling to drive 4 hours to see a new cancer doctor or a cardiologist.
English
I personally know more than 20 physicians who have already moved, or are actively in the process of moving, to Canada: surgeons, cardiologists, ICU physicians, and other highly accomplished doctors with strong research portfolios and elite training.
For many of them, the only real barrier in America was country of birth, or the exhaustion of living under constant uncertainty.
When a country makes its most skilled, vetted, and productive professionals feel disposable, it should not be surprised when another country turns them into an asset.

To the low-IQ racists in this thread, may I say you deserve a raise from Putin, Xi or whoever is paying you to ferment racial hatred in America.
It’s not gonna work… Americans love hard working immigrants — since that’s who built America to being with!

So my kid just finished a semester in the dorms at a CA junior college. His roommate is a previously homeless 18 year old that apparently got free dorm, free meal plan and even extra cash for checking the homeless box. He spent the cash on a gaming system. He dropped out the first month, but was allowed to stay in the dorm because... homeless. Today 5 of 6 suite mates got together to clean the dorm, to get their deposit back (and also to not be slobs).
This guy sat in a chair watching, because taxoayers payed his dorm deposit.
Anyway just a little report on CA efforts to house the homeless.

@muskonomy This is standard in electric infrastructure. This is the standard for every other builder. I’m not sure why it’s any different with data centers.

JUST IN: SpaceX pledges to cover all power grid infrastructure upgrade costs associated with its data centers so those costs are not passed on to local households, per its S-1 filing.

JUST IN: COLOSSUS II is currently training Grok-5! Running on GB200 and GB300 processors, which SpaceX says made it one of the first data centers in the world to deploy both at significant scale, per its S-1 filing.

@greendragonhq @spencerpratt @johndeperno The policy is enforcing the law. It’s not that complicated.

@spencerpratt @johndeperno This is the entire Pratt campaign in full. Just insulting people and refusing to actually put forth any policy.

@LykiriZaldrizes @MattWalshBlog Because there is a News article that means it was not a hoax. God you people brain dead.

Literally nobody believes these hoaxes anymore but they keep trying anyway. You almost have to respect the commitment to the bit.

A historic Black cemetery in Palmetto, Florida, was vandalized, with graves damaged and “Trump” and “DeSantis” spray-painted across tombstones. Our ancestors deserve dignity in life and in death. Desecrating sacred burial grounds is hateful, painful, and unacceptable. We must protect Black history and honor the families impacted by this cruelty.

@VTrashman @Cernovich The companies building them can respect these communities while we let them thrive. I’m not anti AI or data centers, but it’s laughable how easy it would be for them to sweeten the deal and get the public on their side. Horrible PR.
English
@seancybert @Cernovich I'm predicating my position from the point of view that AI is the next industrial revolution. The domestic growth from allowing the new market to thrive will be worth the investment. If we don't expand it, a different country does and gets ahead. Most likely China.

Utah should vote directly on the data centers. Put it on ballot. That is how to settle the debate.

@VTrashman @Cernovich I’m not sure how increasing energy demand would drive down energy prices. Nuclear power plants produce energy.
New members of a community should bring some contribution if they want to be welcomed.
English
@seancybert @Cernovich Thanks for that.
Having a dog in this race, from living in Memphis, I'm glad Musk built his data center in my community.
How do we know data centers for AI will not decrease domestic prices? We were told the same about nuclear power plants.
English
@VTrashman @Cernovich Domestic oil production decreases the cost of energy domestically. The data centers are being forced into a new community to which they never belonged, bringing liability by jacking up electric rates
English
@Cernovich Genuine question:
Why should data centers be the only large scale private industrialization we vote on? Did Texas vote on their oil drills?
