It's very interesting. On the one hand, it seems obviously silly, given that the energy density of a battery is still much higher than hydrocarbons.

But the drone explosion, the economies of scale around electric power, are very attractive.

Of course the biggest unlock in the whole equation is a fully autonomous flight computer.

I have always wondered about the origins of the anti nuclear opinion of Germans.

It has Cold War origins to be sure, but what kind?

I suspect American intelligence has been supporting the anti nuclear movement for some time, for non-proliferation reasons - and not just in Germany. I certainly would be, if I ran the State Department.

This seems like a shot across the bow for all large Claude API customers, which I'm sure they saw coming.

But still, a TSMC style pure play model provider would win huge business in the space given how many application companies are being eaten by model companies.
