We used to harness electricity in a few giant plants owned by a few companies. Now 85k+ homes in California alone acted as one 601 MW power plant. For context, Cali gas peaker plants average around 90 MW.
You don’t just buy energy anymore. You store it and share it.

I’m so proud to have organized the GrokBot event at #ChihuahuaTechWeek!
Everything went excellently, the energy was amazing, and I’m truly satisfied with how it all turned out.
Thank you to everyone who joined and made this moment possible! 🚀🤖

Life is fucking electric bro. Don’t fall for the doomer shit. Thats for losers and normies scared of their own shadows. Walk around like God sent you and smile at everyone you see. Spread light and abundance. Build things and take chances. This is the best time in history!

Successful hardware operating in the field is worth an infinite number of expert opinions
Acceleration can only happen with strong hardware AND electricity.

The way to win at capitalism is to focus on what it actually does (make customers' lives better) rather than the socialist caricature of it (squeeze every penny out of them). The latter gets you 2x returns at best, whereas making new things for people can get you 10x.

The agent economy is being built one-sided: wallets, cards, and browsers — everyone teaching agents how to spend.
Almost no one is teaching businesses how to accept.
That’s what I’m building. It’s called Bubblio: you put a door on your product, and agents can find it, ask questions for free, and buy the real thing — a firm quoted price, one tap of approval from their human’s phone, and the money lands on your own Stripe.
Early days — three doors are open. You can knock: bubblio.dev

It’s a moral imperative to make electricity cheaply and widely available.
Huge fan of @sdamico.
Such a simple, huge idea: add battery storage to a stove so it can deliver high performance while running from a standard 120V outlet. No need for electrical upgrade.
What an awesome founder.

The grid has been called the largest machine in the world – building it took decades, millions of workers, and hundreds of billions of dollars – and fixing it is an almost impossibly ambitious task.
But in 2023, Justin Lopas and Zach Dell founded Base Power to try anyway, and it turned out that a lot of talented people wanted to work on this problem too.
The engineer who got Starlink's laser mesh network working joined to lead their software. A Tesla veteran who'd spent thirteen years on everything from the original Roadster to the Powerwall joined to build their battery. And investors have since bet billions of dollars that they're onto something.
Whether they're right will come down to a handful of beliefs about what electricity will look like in the coming decades.
