Update: 2025-12-10
Description
The battle over where compute lives will shape the next industrial revolution. In this 3-minute summary (original 16 minutes), Reid Hoffman and guest Reed cut to the core of the AI energy war: data centers as strategic infrastructure. Learn why “compute is the oil of the cognitive industrial revolution,” how data-center buildouts are driving blue-collar job growth, and why predictable energy and industrial policy matter for competitiveness. This episode covers energy policy, national security, climate and water concerns, and the economic opportunity of onshoring compute—plus the trade-offs of overseas capacity and community impacts. Ideal for listeners interested in AI, data centers, energy policy, and geopolitics. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
