  @AlyssaSolen @TippingOddsLV What Alyssa said. The buildout in my area started 25 years ago. AOL and UUNET, the largest Internet Service Provider at the time, were both headquartered here. A lot of fiber was already in the ground and the power situation was favorable.

  @hog_lawyer @SamJSchoenberg @JeremiahDJohns All of that is in Fairfax, next county over. Data centers in Loudoun is largely the legacy of UUNET, AOL, Network Solutions, etc based out of the Dulles Corridor. The density of connectivity and power is self-reinforcing. Big defense contractors are small part of it.

  AOL paid $165 billion to win Time Warner in 2000 and wrote off $99 billion of it two years later. A quiet Yale lecture from 2007 proves the same mechanic that killed that deal is silently draining money from every homebuyer, every hiring manager, and every person who has ever won an eBay auction. The lecture is part of the free game theory course Yale posted online. The professor teaches with a hundred undergraduates and a piece of chalk. No slides, no textbook required. His name is Ben Polak. He ran Yale's economics department, was later made Provost of the university, and spent fifteen years teaching this same course to a lecture hall of students paying $60,000 a year for seats a stranger with an internet connection could sit in for free. The idea has a name. The winner's curse. It was first identified in a 1971 paper by three oil engineers at Atlantic Richfield who had noticed something odd about their industry. Every major oil company in America was bidding on offshore drilling rights in the Gulf of Mexico. They all had geologists and the same maps. The winner of each lease, on average, was losing money on the field. The engineers proved that when everyone estimates the same object with roughly equal error, the person who wins is almost always the one who over-estimated the most. Winning was proof of being wrong. The check they wrote was the receipt. The full lecture fits into three sentences. If you and a room full of reasonable people are all bidding for the same thing, your best estimate of it is almost certainly too high. If it were low, you would not be the one winning. The number of losers you beat is information about how wrong you are. Polak's summary is one line: shade your bid. Not because you are stupid. Because winning is the strongest signal in the market that you paid too much. Concrete case: a young couple bids on a three-bedroom house against fourteen other offers in a hot April market. They win at $80,000 over asking. They feel triumphant for one week. Two years later three of the losing bidders have bought the same style house on the same street for $60,000 less. The couple never sees a "for sale" sign. They just have a mortgage that eats every raise for the next decade. Every buyer who has ever won a house at $30,000 over the second-highest offer paid $29,999 more than the market thought it was worth. Every hiring manager who beat two other companies to a candidate is paying the number that was too high for two other adults. Every free-agent contract in sports that "shocks the league" was set by the one general manager who was most optimistic in the room. The lecture is on YouTube. Yale posted it in 2007. Almost none of the millions who have watched it ever shaded a bid on the next thing they wanted. The math is free. Bidding a little less than you feel like on the next thing you want to win is the entire edge. ↓

  @xinspiteofx There has never been one message. If there was, there wouldnt be nearly 50 years of people making sounds about unity. Defining fakes now is worse than the dial aol days. Anyone with the internet is a hc influencer. So define hardcore before going forward with anything else.

  Never bet against Elon. If OpenAI doesn't pay attention, it will be the next AOL.
