Within five years of this Sept 27, 2025 episode (i.e., by Sept 27, 2030), there will be a significant "robot revolution"—widespread deployment of robots—that materially increases electricity demand, such that overall power/energy demand is substantially higher than it would have been without this robot deployment.

“I think we're going to need a lot more power, a lot more electricity. I think that's pretty well known. We haven't even gotten to the robot revolution yet. That's coming in the next five years. That's going to be energy intensive.” View on YouTube

As the coming wave of robots is deployed (within roughly the next 5–10 years), typical robots in commercial use will run their core AI inference locally on-device, rather than relying primarily on cloud-based inference.

“I would expect that robots are going to have a local AI model.” View on YouTube

Governor Gavin Newsom will sign California bill SB 771 (the social-media ‘hate speech’ fine bill discussed in this episode) into law rather than vetoing it.

“I suspect he will sign it because I think the left very much likes this sort of thing.” View on YouTube

Governor Gavin Newsom will sign SB 771 into California law, and subsequently the U.S. Supreme Court will rule the law unconstitutional and invalidate it.

“I think this is going to have to sign it into law, because that's what his base wants, and he intends on running for president in a few years. And even if he harbors some qualms, which I'm not sure he does, he probably realizes he's got the Supreme Court to back him up in the sense that they're probably going to find this unconstitutional. They're going to throw it out.” View on YouTube
