Sound advice from one of America’s smartest and most practical leaders, @GinaRaimondo. “What we need is a new grand bargain between the public and private sectors...”
Significant AI-driven unemployment could be a crisis on the horizon. Slowing AI isn’t the answer and believing the market will sort it out is a mistake we’ve made before. We need to be intentional about the transition to the AI Economy. nytimes.com/2026/03/06/opini…

According to a recent study from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, data centers seem to have reduced household electricity costs where they're built. I don't think this is the final word, but I'd be interested in any concrete criticism of this study specifically. Like with water, you should be very skeptical of people very confidently claiming they're driving electricity prices up if they can't back that up. sciencedirect.com/science/ar….
