## Resource

New York’s one-year pause on new data centers is just the latest example of how “friction” — government-imposed delays — is slowing tech growth, fueled by environmental fears and rising energy costs. While well-intentioned, these delays hurt the economy, and AI’s potential to slash them is being met with resistance, as many Americans crave control over speed, even if it means sacrificing efficiency. The real challenge? Choosing which frictions to keep — and whether we’re ready to let AI reshape our pace of progress.
