AI Needs More Builders, Not More Moratoriums
Nebius is giving infrastructure owners a path into AI cloud. New York is responding to the same power demand by rationing growth.

@TFTC21"Europe is the global center of beauty, which is really meaningful to me. Things that are beautiful are worth preserving. Why would you want that to be destroyed?" Tucker Carlson says America first means doubling down on Europe as an ally.
@TFTC21Tucker Carlson: "No one's even arguing that Iran's nuclear program posed such a threat that we had to launch a full-scale war... This war is clearly contrary to what he promised and contrary to the idea that your leaders should put your interests before those of foreigners."
@TFTC21"You cannot allow a country of 9 million to make decisions that are critical to a country of 350 million. That's against nature. It's wrong. And it's against America's interest, as this war is." Tucker Carlson to The Economist.
@TFTC21"These people literally believe they're building a god. They're inside a powerful echo chamber that's making them millionaires. At what point can you stop and say 'maybe the sycophancy is getting to us?'" @Erikcason & @jesseposner on AI psychosis.
@TFTC21"How can you not be inspired to be brave when you hear about Beowulf showing up and saying 'You got a problem? I'll solve it.' No heading that says 'Today's lesson is about courage.' No worksheet at the end." @jcenters & @hannahcenters on living books vs dead textbooks.
@TFTC21BlackRock CEO Larry Fink tells CNBC: Bitcoin now has "more stability at these levels" and he's "very bullish on the market over the next 12 months."

@TFTC21"The rabbit hole dwellers, the system thinkers who go against the grain? They're already here. What's left is people who don't think like us. Shouting about sovereignty on Twitter is falling on deaf ears." @Bquittem on why the next wave won't look like the last one.

@TFTC21"There's a world where Bitcoiners get rich and the protocol is totally neutered. We'll be telling our grandkids a tragic story where we fumbled the greatest opportunity to take money away from the state ever." @Bquittem on Bitcoin's third generation curse.
@TFTC21"Juniors in high school. 'What's a noun?' Crickets. They can decode a sentence but can't tell you what it means. All processing, no thinking. Spreadsheet brain." @jcenters & @hannahcenters on what's really broken in American education.
@TFTC21"No dollar says Republican or Democrat on it." @nickshirleyy testifying before the Senate on the billions in healthcare fraud he's helped expose.
