About Someone Like You

The Capitalist Hippie presents: Power Play AI needs more power, faster than America has ever built it. Power Play is a six-part investigation from Quartz and The Capitalist Hippie into the bottlenecks, the fixes, and the economics at the core of AI development. Hosted by Marco Pimentel. Reported by Jackie Snow, Catherine Baab-Muguira, and Joseph Zeballos-Roig. New episodes releasing weekly starting September 15. About The Capitalist Hippie: Capitalist…Hippie. Two words that weren't meant to mix. One worships growth, disruption, and bottom lines. The other? Earth, equity, and a future worth believing in. For decades, they stood in opposition. Not anymore. What was once radical—decarbonization, plant-based proteins, climate-focused investing—is now the biggest economic opportunity of our time. The Capitalist Hippie is a podcast for changemakers rewriting the rules of business. Not as rebellion, but as strategy. Because the world needs founders who push for more. Not just profit, but purpose. Not just scale, but systems change. Hosted by entrepreneur and marketing expert Marco Pimentel, this show gives you the bold ideas, market trends, and go-to-market playbooks proving that sustainability is the future of business. The counterculture is now the blueprint. So… are you building what's next, or clinging to what's broken?

Power Play Ep 6: Overbuild

Published 28 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] We didn't know what we were doing. And then as you iterate, as you learn, cars get much further mile per gallon now. Our fridges use a fraction of the energy that they did in the 1950s, 60s, 70s. So we're going to see that with these tools. As much pressure as there is to do that, it's going to speed those things up. So I don't know if I buy worrying about like, oh, we have such as huge demand coming down the pike. Because one, that is not proven yet. That is thinking like, oh, these tools are going to become widely adopted and even more useful, and everyone will use them for their work, which is not promised. […]
