OpenAI's compute chief on the bottleneck nobody talks about: a massive shortage of electricians, plumbers, and tradespeople to build these data centers. "They're very well-paying jobs that all of the hyperscalers and labs would actively hire for if you had the qualifications."

@TFTC21

OpenAI's Head of Compute: "Every time we thought we had enough compute and could slow down, it always negatively surprises. We should not have slowed down. Demand far outstrips supply. Anything we bring online gets consumed immediately. Our biggest worry is the physical world doesn't move fast enough."

OpenAI's Head of Compute: "We believe the world of recursion is not that far where AI will design the systems it needs to train and run the next generation of AI, including chips."

Belarus is seizing property and bank accounts of democracy activists living in Canada. Families still inside Belarus are being harassed as leverage. Photos from a rally in Alberta become evidence of "extremism." Apartments are confiscated without court dates or appeals. Since the fraudulent 2020 election and the mass protests that followed, over 1,100 political prisoners remain behind bars. More than 8,000 politically motivated convictions. An estimated 500,000 to 600,000 Belarusians have fled the country. But fleeing doesn't mean safety anymore. At least 207 participants in Belarusian Freedom Day events held in Canada, the US, UK, Poland, and Lithuania were identified by authorities and charged with "facilitating extremist activities." The playbook is straightforward: seize property back home, threaten family members who stayed behind, file charges in absentia with sentences up to seven years and fines up to $750,000. "Extremism" becomes whatever the regime decides it is. Facts and evidence are irrelevant. This is transnational repression. Authoritarian states projecting control beyond their borders to silence dissent in free countries. It's happening from Belarus, Russia, China, and Iran. The assumption that democratic nations provide a safe haven for political exiles is eroding in real time. Distance no longer protects you.

Joe Lonsdale on China going from a fraction to over a third of new therapeutics by stealing US IP. The stat that kills: pre-IND approval in China takes 90 days. In the US it takes over 700 days. "We have to accelerate this if we're going to compete."

@TFTC21

"It's like a mafia where if you criticize it too much, they might just decide to make you wait a year. Unchecked, unaccountable power. We shouldn't have that in a free society." Lonsdale says the FDA needs competition and accountability.

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale: "The primes have congressional districts locked down. They automatically get the contract even if their stuff sucks because it's a jobs program. It's not about deterring our enemies."
