Peter Teal said this best. He's like, "Look at all the money that's going into
00:00:02
AI. There's really only one company that's making any money, and that's
00:00:05
Nvidia." Like, at this point, the jury's still out. We don't even know what AI
00:00:09
is. It's sort of like when the internet was happening, everyone thought these
00:00:11
fiber optic switch companies were going to make all the money. Turns out that was wrong. It was the end applications
00:00:16
that made all the money. And they competed in many different markets from Google to Amazon to Uber. You can go
00:00:22
down the list of all the beneficiaries of the core infrastructure technology of the internet that was built out. So,
00:00:27
what is really going on? Well, AI is the new lightning rod for fear and for divisiveness that ultimately breeds
00:00:34
compliance and control, which is where these politicians are trying to drive the populace and the voting conditions
00:00:40
in the United States. And that's what's going on right now. There's a lot of
00:00:43
fear about putting this data center in my town is going to do X or Y or Z with no real conversation about the truth of
00:00:49
that matter. There's a lot of fear about wealth creation being aggregated in the
00:00:52
hand of a few when, as we saw with the internet, it benefited the many. And that fear mongering is a very similar
00:00:58
tactic that we've seen in the prior generations where policies were misstated, fear was used, and then
00:01:05
voting control allowed folks to come to power that were looking for power. So, I
00:01:08
think it's just the lightning rod at the moment.
