Energy policy analyst here: Freezing electricity rates will INCREASE prices. Don't be surprised if Gov-elect Hinojosa proposes net-zero climate targets too. Yikes.
Remember: States set electricity policies. Red states, low electricity rates. Blue states, high rates.
Buckle up, Texas...

Tax dollars. Budget has gone way up in Austin. Typical blue city.

Probably correct.
They knew about this affair for a while, with the midterms now it was an opportunity to remove the champion of open source AI to then be able to ban it and overconcetrate power.
Even as a China Hawk myself, I am worried this is an AI Doomer op for reg capture
The affair has been going on for a long time
But in July of this year Jensen made his first ever post on X
What was it?
In support of Open Source models
NVIDIA under Jensen is by far the largest force for open source AI models in Western Civilization
If you understand what is at stake in having competitive open source AI, something that is not centralized, that is in the hands of citizens, you'll realize open source is the biggest threat to the concentration of economic and political power into the indefinite future.
Time will tell - but if Jensen gets removed and NVIDIA changes tune and direction around Open Source, then it should be clear.
This was an op to concentrate power, intelligence, and ensure it stays within control of the few.
NVIDIA bought the world's largest open source platform Hugging Face a month ago.
Meta's frontier models are no longer open source, saying it is "too dangerous" for the public to have access to.

ERCOT's free market for electricity has created an environment that keeps Texans' electricity rates well below the national average.
This policy would do incredible damage to the market ERCOT has created.

Take that ridesharing revenue ($150B+) and subtract the cost of paying 16,000,000 drivers. That is the bet.

I feel like Dario is going to seek out a North Korean agent for an affair just to prove Anthropic can get even more compromised than other AI companies.

We’re going to the Moon!!!!!
Ad lunam Impulse! 🚀
We are proud to announce that @NASA has awarded Impulse two missions as part of its Moon Base program, an ambitious effort to establish humanity’s first permanent lunar outpost.
For decades, the Moon has been a place we’ve visited. Now, Impulse is delivering the transportation to make it a place we can call home.

As an @Alphaschool student for the past 7 years, I’d love to clear up some misconceptions:
“Alpha kids spend hours on screens every day.”
Alpha School: ~2 hours a day learning on screens.
Average public school: ~98 minutes a day on screens.
The numbers are close, so screen time isn’t really a fair criticism of Alpha specifically.
“Replacing teachers with AI is what no parent wants.”
Alpha doesn’t use AI chatbots to teach. In fact, they are banned during academic time!!!
The lessons are designed by learning scientists, and AI mostly works in the background.
Teachers become guides, which gives them more time to build relationships with students and coach each one individually.
Arguably, Alpha is more human than other schools.
TIL Texas Governor-elect @GinaHinojosaTX isn't just against school choice, she’s strongly against @Alphaschool, saying "If we have a generation of kids being taught by AI instead of teachers, we will raise a generation of sociopaths instead of productive citizens."

Gene Wu is what we call a boba lib - a high-status Asian progressive who is soft on crime, for open borders, and exploits racial grievances to dismantle America which he says is defined by white supremacy and racism.
Unsurprisingly, like all woke Asians, he has nothing to say at all about America's geopolitical rival.
Wu goes way further. He was involved with the Houston Chinese consulate which Trump shut down in 2020 due to subversive espionage activity. His father has been linked to a group of former Red Guards from Mao's Cultural Revolution era who spout pro-CCP propaganda.
He is a fifth columnist and he is now the leader of the Texas House of Representatives.

This is the only issue that matters, and Dems want to destroy the most potent technology of all time that could rise everyone out of poverty and misery
They would rather rule over the ashes of the empire rather than see it flourish out of their control

Bolsheviks.
Scott Galloway calls Elon Musk a "traitor to the West" and invokes the executions of the Rosenbergs after WW2.
"We lined up the Rosenbergs against a wall. This is a traitor to the West, and he should be held to the same standards as every other traitor in the West."
*Applause*
These people are absolutely unhinged.
