michael---anderson.bsky.social @michael---anderson.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Could the Thunder say “I-Hart we really want to sign you to a new long term contract, but we can only pay you $20 million a year. Oh, and by the way Clay Bennett wants to give away more of his fortune, do you know any charitable foundations doing good work in OKC that could use $20 million a year?” 100
michael---anderson.bsky.social @michael---anderson.bsky.social · 17/06/2026@jonhamm.bsky.social Obviously, endorsements for doing nothing actually paid by a team owner are out. But… “Think of all the money you could give away to the community” as part of contract negotiations made me wonder about what type of charity related cap circumvention would be legal. 100

michael---anderson.bsky.social @michael---anderson.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Investments in AI were dwarfed by total consumer spending which is still responsible for about 70% of US GDP. However, AI investment contributed much more to the 3% *growth* in GDP because consumer spending had a small increase while AI investment experienced exponential growth. 000
michael---anderson.bsky.social @michael---anderson.bsky.social · 01/08/2025@profgalloway.com @pivotpod.bsky.social - as always, there was a lot of valuable insight in the most recent episode. Professor Galloway cited an article to say that AI investment last quarter was bigger than consumer spending and said that seemed impossible to believe. His instincts were right. 110
