SpaceX is planning a Texas natural gas plant to power a new chip facility, while gas turbines are already being used for campuses in Tennessee and Mississippi.

What if AI doesn’t make creativity less valuable, but exposes how much we've confused artistic value with rarity, mastery with meaning—and being special with actually mattering?
