Reposted by Joey Smith 🇵🇸Robert Cruickshank @robertcruickshank.com · 1hI'm a longtime Seattle urbanist who is strongly supporting Pollet in this race. He's gotten a lot better on housing, as his record and his quotes in the article demonstrate. Dreher on the other hand has no track record of urbanist advocacy, and thus no reason we should trust a word he says. 163
Reposted by Joey Smith 🇵🇸Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 1hThis is right. The issue is that LLMs are at best a $50 billion/year revenue type business and they've invested in it like it's going to be $500 billion/year in revenue or more. The mismatch is potentially trillions in capex overspend which is enough to cause a deep recession when the bubble pops. 724737
