@mcuban These ancillary software companies where the buy convo used to net cheaper than the build convo, I worry for them. It’s becoming too easy to simply ask an agent to build out a personalized solution.

If true and agents work on top of enterprise software, doesn't this eliminate the need for per seat pricing by the software companies ?
The coin of the realm for agents and AI in general is tokens.
I don't see how enterprise software reconciles this conflict. Particularly when the agent "shops" for the most cost effective path with in an enterprise.
I think the enterprise software companies will be able to charge for creating and managing agents and how they engage for companies that can't.
But I don't see how the revenues stay where they are.
Thoughts ?

LEO satellites are amazing, but packet-switched networks are still a hard problem for FAA certification. Until we solve provably bound-able worst case SLAs to certify satellites we can’t modernize or centralize air traffic control.

If we kick the can down the road into a world of deep AI/robot economy, does that solve the debt problem?
Long term, money becomes worthless, as all goods become essentially free to all. (I think that is Elon Musk's view, approximately.)

EXCLUSIVE: Watchdog warns of national debt interest payments hitting $1 trillion | The Center Square The federal government added roughly $1.8 trillion to the now $38 trillion national debt in fiscal year 2025. While net interest on the debt totaled $970 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the federal government’s net interest payments exceeded $1 trillion for the first time. Budget watchdogs are sounding the alarm as the U.S. hit an unfortunate fiscal milestone in fiscal year 2025: government spending on debt interest payments alone topped $1 trillion this year. The federal government added roughly $1.8 trillion to the now $38 trillion national debt in fiscal year 2025. While net interest on the debt totaled $970 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the federal government’s net interest payments exceeded $1 trillion for the first time. That’s more than the U.S. spends on national defense, almost as much as it spends on Medicare, and about two-thirds of what it spends on Social Security benefits. Chris Towner from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget said historically high interest payments – which are projected to rise to $1.8 trillion in 2035 – could cause a debt spiral in the future if Congress does not reign in spending. “If we were to get into a situation where we have to keep borrowing, and then the people who loan us money get worried that we're not going to pay it all back, we could see higher and higher interest rates – which means we have to borrow more to pay the interest on the debt, which means that the interest rates go higher, and that turns into what we call a debt spiral,” Towner told The Center Square. “I hope we're far away from that, but right now, we're pretty close to the highest the debt that has ever been as a share of the economy, and that's how economists think about it – the debt is equal to about 100% of the economy right now.” The highest percentage the national debt has made up of Gross Domestic Product was 106%, and that was immediately following World War II. If it continues current borrowing rates, the U.S. will hit that level again within the next five years. “We don't really know what happens after that,” Towner said. “And what I fear is already starting to happen is that the higher debt we have, the slower the economy is growing. Every dollar that the federal government borrows results in about 33 cents less of investment in the economy from the private sector.” The ripple effects of slowed economic growth are many, Towner added. “Fewer buildings, fewer machines, being invested in fewer workers, being hired, all of that. And then what could happen, too, is interest rates could rise pretty significantly, because interest rates throughout the economy are really directly tied to how much it costs the government to borrow.” Unlike other government spending, the $1 trillion spent on debt interest payments alone produces no benefits. “So it's a lot of money, and it's basically something that we don't get anything out of. It's just to service our past borrowing,” Turner noted. “At least with Social Security, we're sending that into people's pocketbooks, or with Medicare, we're mostly spending that on seniors' medical bills. But we're not getting anything for this interest. We're just paying it because we borrowed so much.” While there are ways Congress can address rampant spending while still protecting costly entitlement programs, Turner said, “there’s almost never going to be a politically painful overhaul.” “We could actually pay for anything we wanted by raising taxes or just cutting any other spending,” Turner said, referencing ways to finance Democrats’ wish to extend the enhanced Obamacare Premium Tax Credits and Republicans’ desire to expand Health Savings Accounts. “There are myriad ways to pay for the priorities we want to do. It's just that whenever you cut spending or you raise revenue, you're hurting someone's pocketbook, so you're going to get some disinterest in that.” If lawmakers have no appetite to comb over entitlement programs for savings, there are still ways Congress can immediately address federal spending and lower both government borrowing and interest rates. “We should be putting caps on discretionary spending,” Turner said. “But we also need to put together some sort of bipartisan fiscal commission that brings together Republicans and Democrats to talk about what are the right ways to make our finances sustainable, and what are the right ways to shore up Social Security and Medicare, which are both in danger of going insolvent in the next seven years. We need to act now to prevent that from happening.” justthenews.com/nation/states/…

Bessent cajoles companies, wealthy Americans to help bankroll ‘Trump accounts’ as favor to the prez | Ryan King, New York Post Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is working to cajole America’s wealthy and large corporations into financing the administration’s Trump Account investment program. “The president is calling on our nation’s business leaders and philanthropic organizations to help us make America great again by securing the financial future of America’s children,” Bessent said Wednesday during a press conference on the initiative. “Given the amazing level of interest and the generous donations we have seen so far, I am confident we will see many more pouring in.” Trump accounts aim to give American citizens born from Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2028, an initial $1,000 in a tax-deferred investment account. That money is intended to give newborns a starter fund by the time they turn 18. It was a key provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, now known as the Working Families Tax Cut Act, that the president signed into law in July. Parents and guardians are permitted to donate up to $5,000 a year, and employees up to $2,500, until children become 18. With a limited long-term federal funding for Trump accounts, Bessent is urging large companies and America’s wealthy to step in and top off the nest egg before the program formally launches next summer. Earlier this month, Michael and Susan Dell committed to donating a massive $6.25 billion to the initiative, ensuring children aged 10 and under who were born before 2025 will get up to $250 in their accounts. Last week, hedge fund manager Ray Dalio announced he will donate $75 million to Trump accounts for children in his home state of Connecticut. Companies such as BlackRock, Charter Communications, Visa, Mastercard and Uber have similarly committed to making donations of their own. Bessent isn’t alone in seeking to pressure the private sector to step up. Earlier this month, Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) inked a letter to the CEOs of every Fortune 1000 company pressing them to pony up. “By matching contributions for employees’ families, investing in the communities where you operate, or integrating these accounts into your philanthropic strategy, you can significantly enhance the impact of this historic initiative,” they wrote in the letter. Booker has long proposed setting up an investment account system for America’s youth, similar to Trump’s eponymous initiative. Meanwhile, Bessent is encouraging states to step up as well. “The administration has been working closely with a number of governors to determine the best way states can work with the federal government to expand access to Trump accounts,” Bessent revealed last week. “Thus far, 20 states are considering topping-up the accounts.” nypost.com/2025/12/21/us-…

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.
