🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson CONFRONTS Kevin O’Leary Over Taxpayer Subsidies for Billion-Dollar Data Centers: “Why Am I, as a Taxpayer, Forced to Pay for Your Business?” Tucker Carlson: “Your tenants are some of the richest companies in the world. Why should taxpayers be required to subsidize this? If it’s such a good business, why are you asking taxpayers to help pay for it without giving them equity in the company?” Kevin O’Leary: “I have to go raise $15 billion. That’s what it takes to build the first 1.5 gigawatts. Every state is competing for that investment. You’re going to create jobs, pay taxes, and build communities. What can you give me to incentivize me versus the state right beside you?” Tucker: “I run a couple of businesses, and we’re not getting any tax breaks. I think they’re every bit as virtuous as data centers. I’m not availing myself of that, and I wouldn’t take it anyway. It’s not the job of taxpayers to subsidize a private business.” O’Leary: “Welcome to America, buddy. This is how it’s gone on for 200 years.”

Jensen closed his GTC Berlin 2026 keynote with this Hermes Agent demo as the finale. He introduced it by saying the way to build an agent is to ask an agent to build it for you, so he installed and set up a customized Hermes in one prompt. Then he used Hermes, running on @nvidia RTX Spark, to create a simulated training environment for the @huggingface Microduck. Hermes planned an obstacle course with Nemotron and had GPT-6 Astra build it using FreeCAD, Omniverse libraries, Blender, Newton, and Isaac Lab. Hermes trained thousands of simulated ducks on that course until the validated policy was ready to run on the real robot in the physical world. At Nous, we believe open source is a practical tool as much as a philosophical ideal. It gives users the ability to build powerful, complex workflows chaining numerous local+cloud models, devices, and tools themselves instead of waiting for a company to enable them.
