"It would be hard to justify purely giving access to Open AI, Google or Anthropic for the sole user case we're going to have a scientific breakthrough. It's a bit of a hearts-and-minds play ... the bad guys are stealing all of the resources but they could help humanity. There's a strong argument, but the truth is very in the middle."

"The lesson from bitcoin mining shone a light on natural resources. What it's all pressing on is what is the best use of energy, water and natural resources? The societal question is whether it's right to keep taking massive amounts of land and where's the priority ... another data center or housing? It's multi-threaded but the vein it keeps pressing on is allocation of resources."

"There's a consistent history of innovators outpacing regulators and Anthropic and AI labs seem to be leaning toward heavily regulated industries like defense or health care. They're not disrupting retail or the travel industry."
