  This pro-PRC model industry group from Silicon Valley is interesting but I think not thinking long-term. Why can’t the frontier labs do something like AOL did with its Greenhouse project and say OK, I will let you distill but we want equity in your company and/or a fee. AOL got equity for promotion/placement on the screen. (we committed 30+ million at MarketWatch, helped traffic and the ipo a lot, but worst company I have ever negotiated with). Anyway, apologies for the digression, but why couldn’t this be similar but for distillation access, and the labs like Anthropic and OpenAI could end up with a really interesting portfolio of companies, some of which might become quite valuable, and those smaller firms’ VCs could also benefit? Otherwise, does it really make sense for a huge swathe of the American technology industry to end up dependent on PRC models? Haven’t we learned any lessons from other industries where PRC firms have been able to come in at a very low cost with good products and effectively create dependencies that crowd at all other competitors? And now we are talking about the most transformative industry in many years, and it could be even worse if it’s built in part through some problematic practices in terms of distillation attacks and export control violations, if some of US government’s and frontier labs’ claims are true?

  @TrollFootball While this is true, I can’t really talk ****, when I was 19 I was stocking can’s on a shelf and spent my nights on AOL messenger.

  @Barbara0699 @theliamnissan I’m almost embarrassed to say that I still use an AOL account for shopping, etc. I get enough free stuff from them to make it worthwhile, and they’re great at filtering out the garbage.

  @AwakenedOutlaw Most in Northern Virginia didn't even know these Data Centers are here. There are over 300 for Amazon Web services alone and many more new ones being built. They are huge, about 800k sf, all due to high demand. I know as I started working in one of the first, AOL, in the late 90's, all the way up to AWS recently for the past 22 years. There has never been any real issue with water or electric use. The real problems arising look to be Zoning and location issues that have real impact on residences and that is what really needs addressed. WE NEED DATA CENTERS! How do people think the Internet and this platform itself exists? 😎

  @GraduatedBen You still don't have a point, and you ignored all of mine, which made your initial points impossible. But let's go through this comment, too. The 2000 by-right ruling is real and it's well-known, but it's basically irrelevant for your point. The buildout pace for DCs is well-documented! Through 2013, the county permitted an average of 6 DCs a year, then with streamlining in 2014, they got that up to ~14/yr. Circa 2000-10, Loudoun added ~37k Asians, when the industry was a few dozen buildings employing a couple thousand people, half of whom were contractors (and thus irrelevant). AOL alone had more engineers in Dulles than the whole DC industry did, and AOL's former Loudoun HQ was eventually converted into a DC. That is to say, office tech employment that *actually* imports engineers and such preceded and were replaced by DCs. If concurrency is your standard, then the 2020s make your theory look terrible because permitted square footage went from 26.4m in 2021 to 53m in 2025, while Loudoun's Asian population grew only 5.2% since 2020 (slowest rate in decades). The point (?) about Prince William County gets the geography wrong, too. The DC district covers 9,500 acres of industrially zoned land along Rt 28/Innovation near Manassas, which is not Gainesville or Bristow. The ZIPs hosting the overlay's operating DCs are 20109 (10.3% Asian), 20110 (5.4%), and 20112 (6.9%), which means basically being at or below the 10% county baseline. The Gainesville-area project is the separate PW Digital Gateway initiated by QTS in 2021, with a comp plan approved in 2022, then litigated, leaving essentially nothing there during the demographic window you've described. The 18% figure you cited is misleading because it's clearly not just Indians. You only get from 14.6% "Asian alone" to ~18% using "Alone or in any combination", while the county baseline 10% is based on "Asian alone", and Bristow 20136 is 10.8% (13.1% combo), which is nowhere near 18%. Adding 12,000 Asians since 2020 is also just wrong for PWC. It was 10.3% Asian (~49.7k) in 2020, and the latest ACS puts it at 48,594 (9.9%) Asians, with the Asian population estimated to have fallen ~2.5% since 2020. I think maybe you looked at ACS 5-year windows straddling 2020, conflating earlier growth? The actual Asian surge in PWC was 2010-20 (+19.85k), with 9 tracts >15% Asian at 2020, before Gateway existed, and before most overlay campuses operated. Also, Indian + Pakistani are only 33% of PWC's Asians (9,642 + 6,592). Filipino, Korean, and Vietnamese communities are the plurality of the area's Asians. In Fairfax, Indians *are* 23% of the Asian population, but Loudoun is 50% Indian, not 60%, and you only get to ~61% by adding Pakistanis. But this just reflects earlier waves of settlement anyway. Fairfax's Asians date to the 1980s-90s, and Loudoun and western PWC were built after 2,000, during the era of H-1Bs. This undermines your theory, because EVERY post-2000 tech metro exurb in America is Indian plurality regardless of the presence of DCs! Frisco, Forsyth County GA, Edison, etc. If Indians were a DC signature, you'd expect them in Boydton, Quincy, and Prineville, but they're nonexistent. You just kind of skipped over all of this and failed to explain why the DC boom hasn't also been an Indian boom, which is what your theory predicts.

  @blind_via I love that you can tell immediately exactly who this data is from and how they got it. Incredibly obvious by AOL Mail being the same amount of time as Twitter, this is boomers who click yes on every single pop-up they are given and were served a pop up on some scammy site or an email to "help with a brief survey" that led them to install the browser extension they used to get this data. Literally no one else would intentionally install a browser extension to track how they use their computer.
