Saw something about how Disney was raising prices on Disney Land and Disney World to over $200 per day. You know, they are not really that great, anymore. Someone could come in and make a new up-to-date park and get $300. I used to love going to Disney Land as a kid. Parking was like $5, now $70, and you got a pack of tickets, A-E, for like $15. "A" got you on Dumbo. E got you on The Pirates of the Caribbean, or Space Mountain.

Interesting connections between AI and war in Ukraine is transformers. - setting aside that the AI models are transformer models - power generation bottleneck is closely tied to availability of transformers to collect and deliver power to the right place. Backlog is now apparently 3 years - As a "test", in 2022, Russia attacked some power infrastructure in Ukraine, including blowing up some transformer stations - Western countries rushed to the rescue and donated some of their spare transformers, and as a result, have no spare transformers to help power the AI boom - Russia now has enough Geran drones to destroy every single transformer in the country, including small stations, sending the entire country to permanent darkness. There are no replacements coming.
