Today's list of 3 Nobel Laureates in physics includes an American. Born in New Mexico. Other recent American physics laureates were either born in blue states or in other countries. Must be something in the water that prevents children born in red states from developing into top scientists...

Name me a startup of note from Florida. Startups are the progeny of young talented people. Not folks looking to enjoy the sunset.

Sure. Their model works well enough. Attract retirees who generated their wealth in California and New York. I thank you for introducing the word derivative into the conversation. It is highly relevant to our discussion. Just not in the way you intended.

Last time I checked both Florida and Texas had plenty of ocean-facing real estate. What an absurd argument.

Huh? Then everything under the sun is derivative. Anthropic and OpenAI represent something very new. Btw it is interesting Elon keeps xAI domiciled in California. It is ok to move a company like Tesla, where the technology is relatively mature, to Texas. He is smart enough to know this...

You should check out the birthdates of Anthropic and OpenAI.

Bump Nice try tho

Except you didn't.

The new Bay Bridge was built while I was living there not so long and it much more of engineering marvel. Good for Texas for sending some corporate pork Tesla's way. Let me know when they produce something of note.

Can't be true if you don't like em

Eh. Let me know when Florida or Texas produce an Open AI, Anthropic or NVIDIA. Just one.

And rural America has a higher homicide rate than NY City. Just sayin. Plus deaths of despair, etc, etc. At least we got world class scientists and entrepreneurs. The best thing I can say about rural America is nothing ever happens there except for meth. Im happy to leave y'all alone to...

Red states have a higher homicide rate. Just sayin

Yeah. Gonna be rough not buying toasters from Alabama.

If red states stopped receiving technological spillovers from blue states they would effectively be third world countries. No AI or all the advances generated by biotech. In the event of a national divorce, the divergences in health and economic outcomes would get even bigger. Red states...

The Nobel Prize announcement for medicine or physiology came down this morning. Two Americans and one from Japan. The Americans were from Oregon and Illinois. The 12 Amercan winners since 2018 include 10 born in blue states and a pair of immigrants from Hungary and Lebanon.

Probably.

Already is.

It is a bit like railroads in the 19th century. Everyone could grasp that railroads would transform commerce. But there were a lot of bubbles and busts involved in poorly directed investment.

The economy is being bolstered by a remarkable investment boom in artificial intelligence. A credible estimate suggests that A.I. capital expenditures may reach 2 percent of the gross domestic product in 2025, up from most likely less than 0.1 percent in 2022. To provide some sense of scale...
