Quoted context
These are the quoted author’s words.
"Lest we be overconfident in Silicon Valley, let's remember a small group of activists shut down supersonic technology, and all nuclear energy in this country. It's a disaster." @altcap explains why a data center moratorium would be "horrific" for America: "All of our GDP growth is coming from the fact that we are building data centers and driving productivity improvements in the economy." "A data center moratorium would thrust us straight into a recession and high unemployment." "Secondly, it would cede the entire global game to China. Overnight, we would lose to China in the global AI race. Which is not just about AI, it's about economic security, jobs, and national security."
