Move fast and break things is why we have progressed from chopping off people's limbs and giving them cocaine to now. And healthcare is still far from perfect. Imagine what healthcare in 2500 will be like.
> Move fast and break things is why we have progressed from chopping off people's limbs and giving them cocaine to now. This is just false. Healthcare does not move fast.

Aren't profit margins restricted by law? Ostensibly, any reduction in expenses should result in some reduction to patients.
This new AI reduces payouts by $10MM. The licensing fee is $10MM. Profit margins stay within the legal limits.

Sometimes I just need a prescription. I don't know why I have to drive somewhere, fill out a form, wait, see a nurse, tell them what I wrote on the form, wait some more, see a doctor and tell them what I wrote on the form and have him write me a prescription. Why can't I just chat with an AI bot and get my prescription? Much cheaper to administer which helps monetization (!) but much better and cheaper for me. Things…
>Why can't I just chat with an AI bot and get my prescription? Because people have decided that whatever drug you are taking shouldn't be taken without a doctor's oversight. If you have a problem with that conclusion, the response should be lobbying to get that drug reclassified as safe for over-the-counter sale, not completely removing the doctor's oversight from the prescription process. Ironically, your proposal h…

Welcome to our pitch for DenyBot.ai Our product automates a lot of the repetitive tasks for health insurance companies and increases reliability of responses and profit margins.

This is suicide: > We need to build and maintain vast AI infrastructure and the energy to power it. To do that, we will continue to reject radical climate dogma and bureaucratic red tape, as the Administration has done since Inauguration Day. Simply put, we need to “Build, Baby, Build!”
This is how you know these people are not serious: > Prioritize the interconnection of reliable, dispatchable power sources as quickly as possible and embrace new energy generation sources at the technological frontier (e.g., enhanced geothermal, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion). Reform power markets to align financial incentives with the goal of grid stability, ensuring that investment in power generation reflec…
Commercial nuclear fusion is just a dream at this point. We might as well debate whether my private island has enough room for an airplane runway or not instead. But hey, I'm not against continuing fusion research if that's all they mean.
EGS I'm far less familiar with but it'd be odd for the current admin to agree with the previous admin unless they had to https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2022-09/EERE-ES-E... and it would, on the surface, make sense one could design these systems to support flow rate variability?
Grid scale batteries are power storage, not power sources. I do agree it's a damn shame they aren't brought up elsewhere in the report though. Same as anything else about renewables missing in tandem with that.

The "fast tracking" accusation is not credible without evidence. This loan took years to go through the LPO process, here's an example filing from 2022: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/12/16/2022-27... .
"The "fast tracking" accusation is not credible without evidence." It was approved in a flury of approvals between the election and inauguration. So that's not direct evidence. However, do you have direct evidence that the revocation was just based on it being renewable? Sure, there's circumstantial evidence of it. If there's circumstantial evidence for both positions, we need some hard evidence to support either one…
Do you have evidence of this? Maybe a list of all LPO approvals so we can look for increased frequency after the election? It would also help to know the average LPO timeline, so we could look at when the grain belt express applied and see if it was approved unusually quickly.
> However, do you have direct evidence that the revocation was just based on it being renewable?
Not exclusively, but there is evidence that opposition to green energy was one of the major factors. See Josh Hawley's statements, where he repeatedly highlights the "green" aspects and likes to call it a "green scam": https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-wins-cancelation-of-gra..., https://x.com/HawleyMO/status/1943408766629650779. The current Secretary of Energy is also strongly opposed to expansion of renewable energy, see this recent speech: https://www.energy.gov/articles/secretary-energy-chris-wrigh....

> Then we have Spain, that after the blackout, suddenly burns a lot more gas (41% more). The Spain blackout wasn't a problem inherent to renewables, our grid simply lacks the storage and voltage control needed for the mix we intend. So, to keep the grid stable until we solve it, we'll need a more realistic mix for our current grid, burning more gas, yes. Engineers apparently knew this was needed for years, but our in…
Which is a problem inherent for renewables. Because they can't scale without a significant amount of storage, which is expensive.

> What red tape? Anyone can buy/rent a GPU(s) and train stuff. Well previously the Chinese were not able to, but that was changed recently: * https://www.wsj.com/tech/nvidia-wins-ok-to-resume-sales-of-a... * https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/22/nvidia-chip-deal-us-chi...
I am sure someone is winning from this. But it aint the American public.
