#3> We will quickly lose even the social permission to take something like energy [...]

#5My take is that if we are still scrambling to find something objectively useful (as recognized by the median person) then we really are in AI bubble territory.

If a country/state has to choice of giving power to data center A or B, it makes sense for Satya to make statements about how only Microsoft provides the most AI value

#9For 96% of the population, AI will not boost production. Generally speaking people are too stupid to use AI properly at least for awhile.
