      Hard to beat how transformative the PC and internet were, but I guess they're all built upon each other. The PC is the car, the internet are the roads, the social media are the crackheads on the corner asking for money, and AI is the ability to instantaneously map out the most efficient google maps route from A to B to include all traffic dynamics, construction sites, toll roads... i.e., it connect the dots and even suggests better dot connections.

        The PC is the diagonal, and the internet is the frog. Because a good analogy is like a diagonal frog.

          Florida GOP Gubernatorial candidate wants to ‘cancel AI data centers’.

          The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

            Doesn’t seem very GOPlike

              Neither did MAGA 10 years ago. Maybe the realignment is just starting.

              This reminds me of the comment from the guy on Odd Lots - who after Trump can effectively ‘straddle the two Ps’ (populism and Peter Thiel, the latter being an avatar for the tech right)

                      @jon-nyc you probably imagine that you and I disagree on some neutral point.

                            How does that jive with Trump’s policy to not allow states to regulate AI?

                              The policy needs to go through Congress.

                                The Constitution is silent on tech developments. It's fair game for the states.
