Well I guess I need to apologize to the creators of the dumb Amazon Prime Jack Ryan series for thinking the plot (and in particular, the finale) of Season 2 was laughably ridiculous
Turns out real life is actually even worse than a poorly-written jingoistic fantasy. What a time to be alive.

Incredible to see no reflection here at all about how San Francisco's so-called "progressives" have spent decades using every tool at their disposal to prevent new housing from being built.

#a2council IMO, there's nothing worse than being a bad poster, and creating a copypasta that starts off by saying you main op is tall and handsome is some bottom tier stuff.

The year is 2035. California's entire base of taxation is young renters and their entire budget goes to insuring suburban McMansions built in fire hazard regions. Half of Florida is underwater financially and the other half literally. Illinois is fine but still fucks up transit funding constantly.

What percentage of planned data center build out for generative AI will find paying enterprise use cases before 2035?
My guess is single digits given the reliability of the current technology. It doesn't work for most use cases and won't get much better without significant tech breakthroughs.
