What Going Viral Taught This Lightspeed VC About AI
She started posting as a side project. Now Lightspeed’s Claire Zau says it’s given her real-time visibility into how normal people (not just tech X) actually feel about AI. The Equity podcast digs into why that direct feedback loop changed how she invests.

The legal mistakes that can sink your startup before series A with Kristina Subbotina, Lexsy

In this episode of Build Mode,…

Solar has a place in energy production. But it CANNOT power vast industrial plants.

The United States is run by dinosaurs that want to use fossil fuels because their leader, trump, doesn’t understand renewable energy and cares nothing about the future of humility or the planet.

He understands it just fine. They don’t need to think about the future because they’re so old so they would rather people keep doing the things which are profitable to the old people

No one wants more hydrocarbons.
What we want and need is nuclear power.
Wind farms kill 1.2 million birds a year in the USA alone.
UNACCEPTABLE!

Additional good news is that we can build a platform for digital democracy, and empower ourselves to make decisions more directly on issues from the local to the global level.

If solar energy was really cheaper than oil,than no one here would pay the electricity bill, but rather buy solar panels,If solar is really cheaper than oil,then tell me where I can buy those cheap solar panels.
(Btw the reason Chinese solar panels are cheaper is because they don’t have regulations for pollution when they produce such panels)

just ordered 2 panels for 175 euros that will make my new AC run for free. They pay off after 1.5 years only and last 25+ years. its insane not to get any by now and theyre only getting cheaper.

Sorry to disappoint but we reached the point of no return- with climate change- oil companies knew and buried the files – so as a society we should sue them and the government for the consequences of their greed and corruption as the planet is dying they ate building bunkers and spaceships trying to self preservation but of course this is a travesty and despicable set of recourse as humanity and life on this planet is pretty much wipe out – 6th extinction- cause by psychopathic narcissist with self-serving grandiose ego demagogue complex pathological lying and manipulate and gaslighting tactics add with isolation tactics mixed with fake news and scapegoating the other side as due to avoiding accountability and responsibilities like a toxic relationship. We failed as a society 😮😢😢😢😢😢😢

In Sacramento, the power through the grid come from natural gas burning, and turning turbines.
And where do the materials for solar panels and batteries come from?
Child labor, abusive slave labor in the Congo and eksewhere.
And wind farms kill 1.2 million birds a year in the USA aline.
Your false optimism glosses over that.

Moral platitudes without any substance addressing the reasons we should or shouldn’t use solar over other energy types. Waste of a watch.
