After years of debate as to whether we should tear it down or repurpose it, I propose we turn the 8th Wonder of the World into Earth's largest AI data center. During Houston's space race in the 1960s, the Astrodome became the world's first domed, air-conditioned stadium.

Frank Gehry has passed at 96. As one of greatest, most creative and inventive architects of our time, I've admired him ever since I had my first drafting table as a teenager. Rest in peace, Frank. You won't be forgotten.

I just heard the term, “Universal Basic Compute” or “UBC” on Peter Diamandis’ Moonshots podcast. This is an analog to the “Universal Basic Income” or “UBI” idea. In this scenario, every citizen is supplied w/ a basic level of computing so that everyone is empowered with AI & no one is left behind.
