The AI infrastructure build-out is so gigantic that in the past 6 months, it contributed more to the growth of the U.S. economy than /all of consumer spending/

The 'magnificent 7' spent more than $100 billion on data centers and the like in the past three months *alone*

I got A LOT of pushback when I wrote -- in June -- about how America's rejection of the world's best and brightest is leading to a "brain gain" for the rest of the world.

Something surprising is happening -- despite Trump admin's rollbacks of incentives for EVs and related tech:

I wrote a book about how to actually get real value out of AI.

It's for CEOs and solopreneurs and skeptics and enthusiasts alike.

It's the no-nonsense, bullshit-free guide that a lot of people need, but were afraid to ask for.

You can pre-order it now.
