It is hard to get your head around how stupendously large an electricity user a 2-5 gigawatt data center represents. A 5 gigawatt data center consumes on the order of 40 million megawatt-hours of electricity per year, as much electricity as the ENTIRE STATE of Nevada or Kansas!
"We project that 2GW and 5GW data centers will be needed to develop single advanced AI models for Anthropic in 2027 and 2028, respectively. With several other U.S. companies developing frontier AI models, we expect total frontier AI training demands in America to reach 20-25GW in…
My pitch for BITS is very simple: we coach you to make your “big if true” R&D idea even better, and measure our success by whether government agencies (or philanthropists) step up with the capital to make it happen.
⏰ Final call for the Big if True Science Accelerator - a 15-week program with @ARIA_research to design £50-100M scale research programs. Apply now: bit.ly/3ZAm4Ww
What are the highest ROI things to do in SF as a 16y/o founder? I’m planning a trip and I’m looking for: amazing people, feedback on what I’m building, great energy in spaces, and yummy food. Who’s open to chatting? What should I not miss?
What’s a life altering meme you’ve seen on the internet? A meme so good it lodged in your brain weeks after seeing it.
the openai IMO news hit me pretty heavy this weekend i'm still in the acute phase of the impact, i think i consider myself a professional mathematician (a characterization some actual professional mathematicians might take issue with, but my party my rules) and i don't think i…
In the past year or so, all AI companies combined have published less useful analysis of AI policy than like 5-10 Substack writers (maybe even just @anton_d_leicht TBH lol) Huge failure to contribute to the public’s understanding of what’s coming + what can be done about it.
Usually when I see someone saying something awful is capitalism they are describing something that 1) is genuinely awful 2) is a consequence of material scarcity and 3) has gotten much much less bad under capitalism
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

what is the single best book you can read that will explain an entire industry?
I’m slowly beginning to accept that my productivity, when working with AI coding agents, is limited by my human brain. AI can do many tasks in parallel, but I can only track the context of a few, so I only run a few tasks at a time. I am the bottleneck.
Fortuna Health has raised an $18M Series A from @a16z to double down on modernizing Medicaid. 2.5 years ago, we set out with the lofty goal to build the TurboTax for Medicaid and government coverage. Sounds easy… until you’re learning the eligibility, deadline, and…
two second lifers returned home to us in one week. I can hardly believe it, I think my heart is going to burst. medium.com/embassy-networ…
It’s crazy there is still no default mainstream way for AI to maintain todo list and take stabs at it
In the past 2.5+ years I have seen vast improvement in AI models while NYT think pieces on these AI models have stayed exactly the same. Explain. The "overhearing" of students confessing to using ChatGPT to write their papers is the new Thomas Friedman talking to cab drivers.
