"That does not mean there isn't promise for AI products to help companies become more productive, just that it may be harder than they thought,"

at this point just leave your phone at home or get burner for this exact purpose
note to self: no such thing like a former spook
can wallstreet cook a potato so hot that even they wouldn't be able to hold it?
regarding my take in previous stubsack, it does seem like crusoe intends to use these gas turbines as backup, and as of 31.07.2025 they had five turbines installed, who knows if connected, with obvious place for five more, with some pieces of them (smokestacks mostly) in place. it does make sense that as of october announcement, they had the first tranche of 10 installed or at least delivered. there's no obvious prepared place where they intend to put next 19 of them, and that's just stuff from GE, with more 21 coming from proenergy (maybe it's for different site?). that said, it's texas with famously reliable ercot, which means that on top using these for shortages, they might be paying market rates for electricity, which means that even with power available, they might turn turbines on when electricity gets ridiculously expensive. i'm sure that dispatchers will love some random fuckass telling them "hey, we're disconnecting 250MW load in 15 minutes" when grid is already unstable due to being overloaded
They expect you to be answering how you are managing your emotions and your stress, or bar that give a message of hope or of some desperation, they are trying to engage with you as real human being, not as a novel character.
does EY fail to get that interview isn't for him, but for audience? if he wants to sway anyone, then he'd need to adjust what he talks about and how, otherwise it just turns into a circlejerk
they really thonk that people work just like chatbots, are they
it also means more interceptions per sortie, because it's 7 missiles in pod per hardpoint, instead of one. this also makes it all cheaper, on top of cost of missiles (fewer sorties = less pilot's time, less strain and wear on plane)
oh you "did your own research". i work in pharma and there's plenty of real problems to be solved instead of chasing wishes of dead chinese emperors
no serious pharma company tries to do that, it's all high proof uncut transhumanist nonsense, served by crackpots, feeding on old scifi and rooted in the same impulse that driven alchemists in search of immortality
i'm of course not gonna stop you from believing in anything, do what you want
why wouldn't they be subject to emission controls if they're islanded? anyway they aren't islanded, they're using gas turbines to supplement what they can draw from substation or the other way around, either way it's probably all synchronized and connected, they just put these turbines behind the meter
i guess they're not subject to emission controls because they're in texas and anything green is woke, so they might just not do any of that and vent all the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides these things belch. also, no surprises if they fold before emaciated epa gets to them, if republicans don't prevent it outright that is
welcome to the abyss, it sucks here
i mostly meant to point out that it looks like they prioritized delivery speed and minimum construction, while paying top dollar for extra 50-70% fuel so it makes sense short term, and who cares what comes in two years when they're under. this also means they bought out all gas turbines money can buy. if marine diesels weren't so heavy these would be next
this is their endgame
