Behold! The age of AI has arrived!






"The Golden Age of America is unfolding right before our eyes. As I said last year, if you love change or are a change agent, you will love the second half of the "roaring twenties". And if you love energy, anything and everything from fossil fuels to alternate to nuclear - you are in luck. We are about to be awash in energy.  With AI, we will need all of it."  



The race is on! It is really between China and the USA. But China is willing to throw everything at the development of AI, including the kitchen sink. Then out of the blue, Donald Trump wins the last election. All of a sudden, many of the techno-kings from Silcon Valley are playing nice with President Trump. Elon Musk is in Trump's orbit. Suddenly, President Trump has an announcement to make. Something about an infrastructure deal. A HUGE deal. Then the bomb dropped.

Trump holds a presser yesterday afternoon. In attendance were Larry Ellison (Oracle), Sam Altman (OpenAI), and Masayoshi Son (Softbank). Together, they are going to invest in and set up a series of gargantuan AI data centers called the Stargate Project. The first one is already under construction in Texas. How much money is it going to take to get these data centers up and running? About a half a trillion dollars. Most of all of which, will be fronted by Softbank

This is going to change the landscape of American business. AI is the future. AI will help us treat and maybe cure cancer. AI will be the key to our future in so many things. When Masayoshi (Masa) got up to speak, he simply said this deal could not have happened without Donald Trump as president. Why? Trump is a visionary, just like Ellison, Altman and Masa are. Plain and simple truth.

But wait a minute! What about Grok? Elon Musk's AI computer? This is where it gets very interesting. Right now, Grok is one of the biggest and fastest AI computers around. That is the way Elon wanted it to be. And in true Elon fashion, he wanted his own AI computer, rather than being dependent on someone else's computer. My opinion? The more the merrier, so long as they are all USA types. This can do nothing but make us stronger and more competitive.

A footnote to this story. AI development is already on the speedway. Right now, we are on the verge of going from AI to AGI. That will be a huge jump in technology. Sam Altman, who is on the Stargate team, is probably the smartest person on the planet with AI. He feels we are close to AGI. Why AGI? For example, it will make your smart phone brilliant. It will change most everything. And we should have AGI long before Trump's term is up. 

The Golden Age of America is unfolding right before our eyes. As I said last year, if you love change or are a change agent, you will love the second half of the "roaring twenties". And if you love energy, anything and everything from fossil fuels to alternate to nuclear - you are in luck. We are about to be awash in energy.  With AI, we will need all of it.
