and go, here it goes, and here it is. And you go, shit. That's that's that's kind of my, like, voice, and that's my kind of song, and I'm known for that. And you go, right. What makes the AI tool interesting is there is a, a award winning global architect in Japan. The the way this architect creates his initial thing when someone says, hey. I've I've got an I wanna I might wanna hire you for a building. Please come give me some ideas. Literally, we'll go into chat GBT and, you know, actually, I think DALL E and Midjourney and I think probably is using Nano Banana now and say create me 20 things in my style,

Bold/Contrarian

I actually think it's literally almost malpractice not to be doing that today... this is one of the areas where people like to have a cause celeb and kind of virtue signaling of I'm really good, and that that AI thing is bad because it's bad on energy, it's bad on climate, it's bad on local electricity costs.

Strong contrarian language calling out AI energy critics as 'virtue signaling' while making the bold claim that not using AI medical checks is 'malpractice.' The juxtaposition of medical necessity vs climate virtue signaling creates a provocative quotable moment.

Bold/Contrarian

So, like, if you wanna see domestic terrorism, see how ICE is operating in some cities and some environments.

Extremely provocative statement comparing ICE operations to domestic terrorism. This is a direct, controversial take from a prominent tech figure that challenges conventional political discourse and creates immediate social media engagement.

Business Mechanics

Much closer to unbridled innovation, there's a number of things that people haven't seen yet that it isn't just, oh, a small number of the big frontier models are all the winners.

Reid Hoffman providing insider perspective on AI market dynamics, countering the narrative that only big tech will win. The phrase 'unbridled innovation' and promise of unseen developments creates anticipation and positions against conventional wisdom.

Practical Framework

So the demand is not like, stop this AI because it's bad for climate. It's like, hey. Make sure you're doing all of these things in your data center development... that makes us net better on electricity and make us net better on our environment.

Clear framework reframing the AI energy debate from opposition to optimization. Hoffman provides a practical approach that shifts from 'stop AI' to 'improve AI implementation' - a nuanced take that's actionable and quotable.

Practical Framework

So speaking up is actually, I think, really important... it's also to try to give other people a sense of, look, you should speak up about the things that you think are real.

Leadership framework from a prominent tech figure about the importance of speaking up despite controversy. The personal anecdote about releasing documents adds credibility, and the call to action for others creates engagement.
