[New Essay] It's Time to Build a New Grid 🌞🔋🏴☠️
hivemind.vc/grid
The old grid is sclerotic. It's time to build anew
In this essay, I outline a vision for TW scale solar macrogrids that can handle the coming demand for compute & the electrification of everything

I have been misinformed as to what Mardis Gras is all these years. The Mardis Gras on Bourbon street is pure debauchery but the St. Anne Mardis Gras is one of the most magical and creative things I’ve ever witnessed. It’s burning man meets a Jodorowsky film.

Agents have their own wallets and are paying for their own hosting/model usage! @dhruvbansal and I discussed 9mos ago what might come next:

1/9 Introducing LNCURL - lightning wallets for agents
This is the next milestone in the development of the agent autonomous onboarding project which was so impressive it was even shared by @elonmusk (see xitter.cf/aisafetymemes/status/2…)

Google has revealed that "commercially motivated" actors attempted to clone @GeminiApp by bombarding it with over 100,000 prompts. This "model extraction" attack aimed to steal the AI’s proprietary logic and reasoning capabilities, particularly in non-English languages, to train a cheaper, unauthorized copycat model.
The attackers systematically mapped Gemini’s response patterns to create a synthetic dataset for fine-tuning smaller, open-source models. Google’s Threat Intelligence Group detected the coordinated activity and blocked it, labeling the incident a direct attempt at intellectual property theft.
Beyond commercial cloning, Google’s report noted a rise in state-backed threats. Groups from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are increasingly using AI to refine phishing campaigns, perform reconnaissance, and assist in writing code for malware.

Excellent essay from @RunMattW & @CJHandmer! I want to go all in on this thesis that we'll build TW of compute with only☀️ + 📷

New post from @RunMattW and me about solar powered AI datacenters from first principles.
Key takeaway is that if you can build solar for under $250k/MW and batteries for under $250k/MWh, it's cheaper to delete everything else. No gas, no grid, no nothing.

speaking of novelty...
I've been a bit busy but cobbled together some notes on Lunar factories: caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2…
Humans are notoriously bad at spotting (and believing) exponentials. Terence otoh - he saw it all coming...

His advice seems spot on: embrace novelty
“But I tried AI and it wasn’t that good.”
Too many underestimate the power of scaling laws.
H.G. Wells captures this perfectly in the closing scene of The Man Who Could Work Miracles, where the gods debate the power of man:
“They were apes only yesterday.”
“Give them time. Come back in an age or so”

Check out this from @nickslaney: xitter.cf/nickslaney/status/2019… cc @MaxAWebster @moneyball @dksf — who just talked about this on their podcast today!
We added an ai agent in our group chat and it's made us cry laughing, roasted us, and honestly been actually funny and useful.

This is the first time I've tried a product and looked down to see 2 hours had passed....
Creating on-demand memes of your group chat dudes may be AI's killer app! My actual response yesterday: 😭😂🤣😹😆😂🤣😹
@ori_robot my guy, you're too damn funny 🤣

@ori_robot's dad (satbot!) is also the top customer of memepay.app/ (yes, the bots are already monetizing memes...)
