  Sam is liberal, but being a republican is better for business these days. He's more of a survivalist than anything else.

  I really wish Sam stood by his convictions. He has the money to make a difference (see: Elon, although obviously Sam has less).

  Virginia has the most number of datacenters in the US, including major large datacenters for Meta/Google/AWS. Might be an angle for OpenAI to get some zoning passed.

  Never made one of these, but I think this helps get around the paywall: https://archive.is/LU7FT
