🚨 Data centers now pay around 54% of local taxes in Quincy, Washington.
New high school. New hospital. New police and fire stations. New library. New public works buildings. New aquatic center.
And it’s all “100%” tied back to the data centers.

Trump is right about data centers. The mainstream media never shows how small businesses and blue collar workers in dying towns are benefitting from buildouts like this.
Highly recommend following this account to cut through the Fake News.
🇺🇸 “From ghost town to boom town.”
Data centers are bringing small American towns roaring back.
In Quincy, Washington, one local electrical contractor went from 3 employees to 220.
The population is up more than 60%. The poverty rate fell from nearly 21% to 6%.

🚨 @Budowich absolutely nails the data center debate:
“Not a single shovel should go in the ground, not a slab of concrete should be laid if a data center is draining a community.”
“Data centers and this investment should be POWERING our communities.”
And increasingly, they’re doing exactly that.
They’re building their own power sources, using closed-loop cooling systems, and delivering immense financial benefits for surrounding communities: $50,000 teacher bonuses in Louisiana. A new hospital, school and library in Quincy, WA.

Dario Amodei is “completely deluded.”
Effective Altruism is “super toxic” and a “complete disaster.”
LeCun has “zero concerns” about AI wiping out humanity and warns AI regulation is “regulatory capture.”

🚨 Data centers = JOBS.
2,300+ construction workers are already building Amazon data centers in Mississippi.
And more than 1,700 permanent jobs are expected as Amazon invests more than $20 BILLION across the state.

David Sacks when it's time to destroy doomer arguments
🚨 Exactly right:
"The question I have for Bill [Gates] is, how are you going to stop Chinese models from developing these capabilities? We don’t have jurisdiction over them. He’s acting like the U.S. government can just magically make this problem go away by simply banning the capabilities. We can’t. There’s only one answer to AI-powered cyberattacks and that’s AI-powered cyberdefense." - @DavidSacks

Bill Gates worked his final full-time day as an employee at Microsoft twenty years ago.
Ever since then, he has pushed one terrible idea after another upon humanity.

Democrats are trying to dismiss the White House Accord on Super Intelligence as optional self-policing. But although the agreement was entered into voluntarily, the governance that follows from it is not. As Gavin Baker points out, once an independent auditor reports a safety issue to an independent board committee, directors have a fiduciary duty not to disregard it, and a D&O carrier can use a bad-faith finding to deny coverage. So although the agreement starts with internal controls, these are verified by external audit and board oversight — and then existing FTC and securities law still apply to any public claim the company does not keep. This is far more practical than what Democrats want — a freeze on frontier development while China races ahead. Democrats should applaud what President Trump has accomplished. But they would rather use SI safety as a campaign issue than admit the Accord represents major progress.
The White House Accord on Super Intelligence will have a positive impact on safety.
Committing to hire third party auditors who will report to an independent committee of board members has more practical near term significance than almost any conceivable regulatory action.
These board members will have a fiduciary duty. If they ignore a report from the third party auditors then a bad faith finding from a court is a real possibility. A D&O carrier could use this to deny coverage.
Really good outcome for ordinary Americans.
More effective and elegant than some ridiculous new regulatory body that would take months to do anything, then almost certainly done the wrong thing and along the way probably created a regulated oligopoly at the frontier which is the scariest potential outcome*
As I read the articles about the accord, it did occur to me that they were mostly written by political reporters who may have not understood the significance of the accord given their reporting beats are generally focused on public policy instead of corporate governance.
*Scariest because I do not trust any 5-20 individuals to make the best possible decisions about the direction of this technology. I want as many AIs as possible to maximize the odds that they encompass the diversity of human values across the world and richness of human variation. And I want an AI that shares my own personal values. Safety, freedom and the maximization of human agency through democratization, distribution and diffusion vs. centralization. History has spoken on the dangers of the latter path.
**Also SI not AI still adapting to the change but I do think better branding. Who wants artificial ingredients in their food?

🔥 @DavidSacks on @BillGates' claim that AI may kill 1 BILLION people: "There are no facts or evidence to justify these types of numbers. These numbers are just made up. They use these numbers to create the patina of being scientific but there is nothing scientific about them."

@DavidSacks: "It's just fundamentally wrong to try and pretend that we are bereft of laws, bereft of safeguards..."
"The reality is we have layers of protections here. We have layers of policing. And the Trump Administration has been extremely willing, starting with President Trump saying, listen, we’re willing to sic the DOJ on these companies if they’re not doing the safe thing..."
"Do we want all this fear and paranoia to derail what is so manifestly good for the U.S. economy? If that happens, it will be the Chinese economy and Chinese national security that benefits from super intelligence rather than the United States. And I think that would be a tragic mistake."

@DavidSacks: "I think it’s very important that we don’t use language that deflects responsibility and accountability away from the corporations that are developing these products. Again, when you speak about the agents as if they have their own mind, it sounds like it’s not the company’s responsibility. And it is. It very much is."
