But I think that the way that the data center deals have been done nearly guarantee the amount of public backlash that there's been.
And the thing that will probably fix it, I suspect, is probably either like a state level streamlining where someone does the research probably at the state level, maybe at the federal level to figure out what is the fair way to do these deals?
How do we ensure the communities get the most transparency, the most benefit out of data center deals when they happen?
So it's not case by case and it's not so asymmetric with a town of 12,000 negotiating with an open AI or whatever.
I think with where you build the data centers, a lot of folks are starting to look at building AI infrastructure as a form of geopolitical leverage, right?
And so some countries, places like Australia, Canada, countries in Europe are thinking, actually, maybe the way for us to get a slice of frontier AI, for us to negotiate with the countries where the best AI is being developed, like the US, in cases like cybersecurity access, is to say,
you know, we'll build your data centers here.
We'll actually welcome you in.
And in return, maybe you guarantee us access to the frontier models.
So I think that one is that we should look at AI infrastructure as a point of leverage that both states and countries have and
As you mentioned, if local moratoriums in the U.S., if domestic moratoriums or something like that lead to giving that leverage and negotiating power to authoritarian states, that's probably something the U.S.
should be really worried about.
On the other hand, there are folks like Anton Leicht at Carnegie has done work on this, where it's can we give our allies, can we give our democratic allies negotiating leverage through them building out compute systems?
The second thing that you mentioned about pricing is interesting because I do think one of the big macro trends in AI right now is the closing of the frontier.
It's the fact that the very best models, like Mythos from Anthropic, are not being open to everybody.
That is both a safety decision, as in we don't want to give really powerful cyber weapons and bioweapons to a bunch of bad actors or just unknown actors.
It is also a pricing question of the best models are really, really expensive to run.
They don't have enough compute to run them.
And so we're going to have to charge a lot of money or only give it to the biggest corporations.
And I think that's a reason that startups are worried that countries outside of the U.S.
