NYT story on Epstein & Silicon Valley has paragraphs on Elon, Peter Thiel and even photo of JCal who is a total NPC. But Reid Hoffman barely gets mentioned despite having the deepest Epstein relati...

Replaced my NYT subscription with a Mac Mini and Clawdbot. Told it to gather as much factual information as possible, then rewrite it as left-wing propaganda. Works perfectly.

The policy debate over AI is overfitted to the social media wars. AI is a completely different form factor. The rise of AI assistants will make this clear.

“California won’t vote for asset seizures. That would kill the golden goose!” You’re kidding right https://t.co/Z4hZRofwwc

Democrat Billionaires in Silicon Valley are learning: Play socialist games, win socialist prizes. https://t.co/c3oz0lpyP6

Narrative violation: The largest AI data center uses roughly the same amount of water as two burger joints. There are over 200,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S. so this is a tiny amount. https:...

Narrative violation: according to Blackrock, the U.S. does not have enough workers to meet surging demand for the construction boom. AI is creating too many jobs! https://t.co/4ZX8aRG5Cb

The only reason there is any serious political opposition to BTA is that the other unions weren’t cut in on the loot. SEIU-UHW kept it all for themselves. You can be sure this will be fixed in ‘28....

Whether BTA passes or not, California has proven itself to be an unreliable business environment. Founders, when a state shows you who they are, believe them. Opening a backup HQ in a red state sho...

The Billionaire Tax Act is still underestimated. Most founders aren’t paying attention, don’t think it applies to them, or believe the cavalry is still coming. That will change if BTA gets on the b...

True

It’s not a “one-time” tax, it’s a first-time asset seizure. It will be the first of many if the precedent is established.

RIP Scott Adams, a unique mind, insightful, brave and witty.

California has become a hostile work environment for founders.

Professional protestors should have to register like lobbyists and disclose who’s paying them.

If progressives manage to break Silicon Valley’s network effect, it would be of great benefit to the rest of the country. The riches of the tech industry would spread to other states, especially re...
