Good luck with the showing!

I do think security is going to require more, not, less human investment as attackers may be running automated vulnerability screens from the outside that you must counter, as well. Without rigorous internal processes to manage and screen all changes and upgrades, companies risk leaving themselves open.

One design change which limits exposure is to have more local-first apps or experiences so there's less cloud / server to computer interactions to secure.

The argument I was trying to make is that we (in the US) have an economic and political system where decisions are made by the person/party with the most economic power. I shorthand by saying it's "by auction."

When you do that at a system-level you have a problem where the decision maker is making trade-off decisions for the system based on their best interests vs the system.

This problem happens in product/software companies at a different scale where orgs have different power and may influence a product in a way that fails the users and eventually isn't in best interests of the system.

I have been curious about the “what must be true” for AI data centers to be brought online. I wanted a systemic review to understand the technical supply chain to deliver modern inference.

What I found is the AI buildout is being slowed by people declining the offer, some on their porches, some on planning commissions, some at the trading floor of a capacity auction. There's also a few single points of failure in the supply chain.

The AI buildout, as I learned, is a bigger test of our entire economic, political, and societal system.

Hope you enjoy it.

After a trip to a textile museum, I had to research once I saw the obvious connection. I wrote this for anyone who loves tracking the evolution of ideas vs acting like everything is new and invented from nothing.

Looking forward to discussing and geeking out on computing history.

the article doesn't argue for a capitalist cohort to support any other. Rather it asks for limits to the capitalists reach, such that other systems can use resources in other ways and preserve non cash systems.

I think the insight for me in researching all this was just popping my bubble that thought of capitalism and what's wrong with it through the lens I was taught which was mainly political.

Once I reframed through the "right to not compete" or not participate in capitalism and retain dignity, the system and how it's taking us further from that ability became clear.
