"You have lobster, and you have, whatever, let's say a good steak, and then you have the noodles, and then you have the rice. And so you come, and Anthropic and OpenAI, they take the lobster and the good steak. And there are only some noodles left, and you're like, 'Oh my God.' That's what happens today, and it's very, very, very hard not only to compete, but to retain the talent. So for us, building in Europe has been an incredible strength."

Getting any one advanced reactor to criticality by July 4, 2026 would have been considered a minor miracle, but getting four with more to come means that there's going to be competition. Whoever can deploy most quickly, with a product that customers want, at the best price, will win. The field shifts from science to manufacturing.

At the very short end [of latency], opportunities have compressed; at the very long end, premia are crowded. Naturally, capital and talent migrate towards the middle.

Dad heard about a team at a youth prison in West Virginia that was supposed to be better than us. He loaded us into the van one morning and we drove two hundred miles to play them. This was a maximum-security facility for juveniles, up in Salem. We had to be buzzed in through a thick steel door and then through another one and another, but they wouldn't let us into the gym. We could hear someone in there screaming. Then it was silent, and the door opened. On one end of the court, the other team was about to warm up, and on our end—where we were supposed to warm up—a kid was mopping a puddle of blood.
