Told y'all it was only a matter of time. All else equal, sure it doesn't make sense to be flexible. But if it becomes imperative to solving the time to power bottleneck, the tech giants will get creative. Google: "Fast forward to today, we’ve developed new capabilities to shift…
I caught up with a friend who works at a mid-size Swedish tech company. Over the last 4 months, their shipping velocity has almost doubled – not because they hired more engineers, adopted some new agile framework, or worked late nights. It came down to a single change in how they…
The best engineers I talk to say the same thing... "A 1x engineer with AI is a 0.1x engineer but a 10x engineer with AI is 100x engineer." So I asked our engineers at @tenex_labs what is the biggest difference between a .1x and 100x engineer. Here's what they said: 1)…
"Lots of people want my job. No one wants the part where I spent five years doing this job for free." —@acesounderglass (and most of my friends with weird jobs could say the same)

AI abundance is downstream of energy abundance We need a significant change in US energy systems if we want to have widely available AI Our collective goal should be to maximize cheap clean abundant energy

People don’t realize that: 1) China is absolutely dominating us in deploying solar. 2) A majority of 2025 Chinese solar projects have been distributed (rooftop, behind the meter) rather than “utility-scale”.
a story in three screenshots: 1. @Tesla virtual power plant network discharged batteries in CA 2. CAISO experienced a visible reduction in load 3. electricity prices dropped 30-40% this is the future of the grid.
There’s dozens of us! I’ve met a handful irl so far.
Solar doesn’t sleep! Many places could already get to 90% constant solar power year round from around $100/MWh! ☀️ It's not about getting to 100%, but demonstrating the massive opportunity ☀️ + 🔋 offer. Exciting new analysis by my colleagues @kostantsa and @CleanPowerDave

China is winning the race to Type 1 Civilization and we're not even aware it's happening. By 2030, China will have the manufacturing capacity to build an entire U.S. worth of generation from solar and storage alone - every single year. The flow of energy is what drives physical…

Lots of people are saying transmitting electricity is "inefficient." Total transmission and distribution (T&D) losses are less than 5%. The cost of T&D is NOT LOSSES - it’s capacity. We have to pay the same amount to build and maintain that capacity - regardless of how much we…
I am pleased to announce that my report for the American Enterprise Institute (@AEI) on the transformative power of the reasoning AI tools has been published. AI tools have already had a major impact on education, but most of it has been unwitting and reactive. 1/11
