okay, that’s the missing piece (? not the last): 1GW from GE, 1GW from proenergy, 1.2GW from this fuckass startup that nobody heard of, either missing 1.2GW of gas turbines or 1.2GW grid connection gets almost 4.5GW of power for crusoe

also you don’t need supersonic jet engines for that, these will be actively worse in reality for stationary power generation. they do that because you can haul them in a truck

Meanwhile China is adding power capacity at a wartime pace—coal, gas, nuclear, everything—while America struggles to get a single transmission line permitted.

thank Jack Welch for deindustrialization then

we built something no one else has built this century: a brand-new large engine core optimized for continuous, high‑temperature operation.

Lockheed Martin: am i a joke to you? (also, lots of manufacturers for proper CCGT turbines do just that)

they maybe used it to get entry into hezbollah supply chain, and then for monitoring aftermath

and yeah this is a blatant lie:

In a recent interview, the former head of the Israeli Mossad, Yossi Cohen, revealed that Israel has similar “booby-trapped and spy-manipulated equipment” in “all the countries you can imagine”.

an attack that was a combination of supply chain infiltration, psyops (convincing hezbollah to ditch phones), surveillance (lending credence to the former), mass tampering, that got planned for a decade, took well over a half year to execute, and now will be useless because people know about it, and will try to mitigate (by looking inside), used as an one-shot chance against strategic adversary, but yeah there are thousands of phones with bombs in moldova, dude trust me

this is propaganda fluff for israeli nationalists

🌏👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀 (currently since 2023)

plenty of tools in silicon valley

this is their endgame

from reuters article:

“That does not mean there isn’t promise for AI products to help companies become more productive, just that it may be harder than they thought,”

see, you all are prompting it wrong, straight from the source

at this point just leave your phone at home or get burner for this exact purpose

note to self: no such thing like a former spook

can wallstreet cook a potato so hot that even they wouldn’t be able to hold it?

regarding my take in previous stubsack, it does seem like crusoe intends to use these gas turbines as backup, and as of 31.07.2025 they had five turbines installed, who knows if connected, with obvious place for five more, with some pieces of them (smokestacks mostly) in place. it does make sense that as of october announcement, they had the first tranche of 10 installed or at least delivered. there’s no obvious prepared place where they intend to put next 19 of them, and that’s just stuff from GE, with more 21 coming from proenergy (maybe it’s for different site?). that said, it’s texas with famously reliable ercot, which means that on top using these for shortages, they might be paying market rates for electricity, which means that even with power available, they might turn turbines on when electricity gets ridiculously expensive. i’m sure that dispatchers will love some random fuckass telling them “hey, we’re disconnecting 250MW load in 15 minutes” when grid is already unstable due to being overloaded

They expect you to be answering how you are managing your emotions and your stress, or bar that give a message of hope or of some desperation, they are trying to engage with you as real human being, not as a novel character.

does EY fail to get that interview isn’t for him, but for audience? if he wants to sway anyone, then he’d need to adjust what he talks about and how, otherwise it just turns into a circlejerk

they really thonk that people work just like chatbots, are they

oh you “did your own research”. i work in pharma and there’s plenty of real problems to be solved instead of chasing wishes of dead chinese emperors

no serious pharma company tries to do that, it’s all high proof uncut transhumanist nonsense, served by crackpots, feeding on old scifi and rooted in the same impulse that driven alchemists in search of immortality

i’m of course not gonna stop you from believing in anything, do what you want

why wouldn’t they be subject to emission controls if they’re islanded? anyway they aren’t islanded, they’re using gas turbines to supplement what they can draw from substation or the other way around, either way it’s probably all synchronized and connected, they just put these turbines behind the meter

i guess they’re not subject to emission controls because they’re in texas and anything green is woke, so they might just not do any of that and vent all the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides these things belch. also, no surprises if they fold before emaciated epa gets to them, if republicans don’t prevent it outright that is

welcome to the abyss, it sucks here

i mostly meant to point out that it looks like they prioritized delivery speed and minimum construction, while paying top dollar for extra 50-70% fuel so it makes sense short term, and who cares what comes in two years when they’re under. this also means they bought out all gas turbines money can buy. if marine diesels weren’t so heavy these would be next

i don’t know if they are unusually evil, but they sure are greedy

of course, if they weren’t corrupt they would buy mirage instead /s

yet another reason for installing pihole

you might end up like ray kurzweil, aging no matter what despite 300 pills popped every day

thiel isn’t funding unlicensed drug trials for longevity/immortality just so that he’ll become more progressive in the process

with 200, 300 year old oligarchs values they grew up with are gonna stay influential much longer

For the record, i just intend to outlive my enemies
