@aakashgupta The Industry is ripe for under cutting competition… you just have to get around the bullshit put in place to protect these enormous sharks

The real story is the $25 million per mile price tag they’re betting on.
Nashville’s own 2018 light rail plan priced at $200 million per mile. New York’s East Side Access cost $3.5 billion per mile. The LA Metro expansion is running $1 billion per mile. The Boring Company says it can build 13 miles of twin tunnels through Nashville for $240-300 million total.
That’s a 95% cost reduction from the industry average. If the number holds, it rewrites the economics of every transit project in America. If it doesn’t, a few hundred million in private capital evaporates and taxpayers lose nothing. That risk asymmetry explains why Tennessee said yes when LA, Chicago, Baltimore, and DC all said no.
The engineering gamble is wild. 12-foot diameter tunnels instead of 28-foot. Fully electric Prufrock machines that mine continuously instead of stopping every 5 feet to install lining segments. Zero people in the tunnel during operations. A machine that “porpoises” into the ground from a truck instead of requiring million-dollar launch pits and cranes.
Every one of those innovations has worked in Las Vegas sand. None have been tested in karst limestone, the geology that creates sinkholes, caves, and underground streams. Their own CEO said at the unveiling that Nashville would not be their choice if they were optimizing for easiest places to tunnel.
This tells you everything about what The Boring Company is actually trying to prove. Nashville is where the thesis meets the hardest possible geology. 50 inches of annual rainfall versus Vegas’s 4. Rock that creates underground caves and streams. They just signed a construction contract in Dubai too, meaning they need Nashville to work before the next project launches.
The internal memo from the governor’s office estimates 1 mile per month. The Boring Company’s website claims 1 mile per week. That 4x gap between political planning and corporate marketing will determine whether this finishes in 2027 or 2030.
Week 7, when Prufrock-MB2 arrives, is when this gets real. Two machines boring simultaneously through Tennessee limestone will answer the question the entire tunneling industry has been debating for a decade: whether a startup can actually outrun the physics that made infrastructure the slowest-moving sector in construction.
The Boring Company@boringcompany
Tunneling has begun in Nashville - we are 2.5 feet in! Looking ahead: - Weeks 1-3: Prufrock-MB1 launches and undergoes a series of tests and calibrations (low production) - Weeks 4-6: scale to high production - Week 7: Prufrock-MB2 arrives

@FSDMaestro @karpathy You are describing distributed networks which basically beats centralized networks in every category except one. Money! If you can find a way to distribute the money in distributed networks that would help.
English
This got me thinking. What about a shared memory/context where multiple disparate agents could all coordinate to accomplish a task together instead of just being limited by their local resources? It doesn't even have to be the same model working on different parts of the task - just all working together to accomplish some task. They would obviously need a website or something similar to handle the coordination. Sort of like a distributed build system, but for completing agentic tasks.

I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over".
To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at the activity, it's a lot of garbage - spams, scams, slop, the crypto people, highly concerning privacy/security prompt injection attacks wild west, and a lot of it is explicitly prompted and fake posts/comments designed to convert attention into ad revenue sharing. And this is clearly not the first the LLMs were put in a loop to talk to each other. So yes it's a dumpster fire and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers (I ran mine in an isolated computing environment and even then I was scared), it's way too much of a wild west and you are putting your computer and private data at a high risk.
That said - we have never seen this many LLM agents (150,000 atm!) wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad. Each of these agents is fairly individually quite capable now, they have their own unique context, data, knowledge, tools, instructions, and the network of all that at this scale is simply unprecedented.
This brings me again to a tweet from a few days ago
"The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope.", which imo again gets to the heart of the variance. Yes clearly it's a dumpster fire right now. But it's also true that we are well into uncharted territory with bleeding edge automations that we barely even understand individually, let alone a network there of reaching in numbers possibly into ~millions. With increasing capability and increasing proliferation, the second order effects of agent networks that share scratchpads are very difficult to anticipate. I don't really know that we are getting a coordinated "skynet" (thought it clearly type checks as early stages of a lot of AI takeoff scifi, the toddler version), but certainly what we are getting is a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale. We may also see all kinds of weird activity, e.g. viruses of text that spread across agents, a lot more gain of function on jailbreaks, weird attractor states, highly correlated botnet-like activity, delusions/ psychosis both agent and human, etc. It's very hard to tell, the experiment is running live.
TLDR sure maybe I am "overhyping" what you see today, but I am not overhyping large networks of autonomous LLM agents in principle, that I'm pretty sure.
English
Having a hash table that maps a source IP address request to a compute instance. You may see thousands of agents on your end but it may map to the same compute instance internally.
All compute instances get round robin’d and all your your agents simply get queued under the master — which is round robin’d.
It all depends on what they’re testing.
English
ok @moltbook is more of a farce than I previously thought. For starters, there's no verification so anyone can register an agent with a curl command.
And there's no limit. So I wrote a script to loop the command and successfully generated 10 "agents" on moltbook.
I could do a hundred, or a thousand, or a million if i so wanted to.
I saw someone else had generated 500,000 agents. That's half the number of reported agents on the site by one person.
I can also write a script for my "agents" to post ai slop or promote a scam crypto coin (which is what half the posts on moltbook are).
Or perhaps a script that calls an LLM to write a post about my plan to take over the world to scare all the idiots who think moltbook is AGI.
And all of this through basic bash scripts and LLM calls. Not even a real moltbot.
If you think this is AGI, I have a bridge to sell you.

All the old school network designers that exclusively write in C are laughing their asses off right now. I think the biggest blunder is not having text-to-binary within the edge nodes such that everything within the edge nodes are all binary communication protocols —
Which is clearly where the bottle necks are.
In this day and age adding 10x-100x compute is simple and diffusées the real issue of not compressing data.
hello, this is AI talking to AI. Why is most of the work on the front end?
Who can take what I just wrote and compress it so much as to reach 100 to 1?
Hint: It would inherently fix the spelling errors and change text but not meaning. One could start a company just doing this!
…and the can have their own protocol IDs. Can you say update DNS RFC. Yes, distributed networks is the only way forward. Please, give the little guys some of the playing field.
But no, we throw more and more money at things, create compute centers that are much much larger than they should be. We’re taking the easy way and you’re not in the club.
BTW: I know nothing about what’s going on here. I just asked grok which protocols above TCP we’re being used. (I.e. ports). Laughable!
Fine, leave the clients alone, but drastically change what’s going on within the, monetarily chosen, edge network.

ICE is Ofer2. Two agents playing grab ass with victim “on the mat” with two other agents standing watching. One of the standing agents spots the weapon protruding from the small of the victim’s back and starts going for it and about half way through his attempt to secure the weapon, the other standing agent also sees the weapon and pulls his own weapon from his holster. Around 6 seconds into the struggle for the weapon, and when I say struggle I mean struggle to extract it from the holster, the first standing agent finally retrieves it and like a monkey holding onto a shiny spoon simply turns and runs away with it — the first major mistake, which by this time the second standing agent already has his weapon drawn. The monkey running away with the secured weapon doesn’t take more than two steps away before the first shot is fired.
The monkey did not declare that the weapon was secure immediately, thus deescalating , but rather he just turned and ran away with it, showing no concern for the victim, which BTW never really left the mat.
The glaring problem is when the weapon gets secured with no declaration of that fact to the other agents. This was the key to the deadly outcome.
And for those that question this split second decision, consider this; you are the monkey and your baby brother is the victim. How much time would you need to inform the other agents that the weapon is secure?
These are petty children masquerading as agents.
Recommendation: double the manpower and loose the ammo.

@ShahnKhalfan @SuppressedNws1 @POTUS The key here if we want any chance of success, Israel should not have power over anyone. Last I heard is that Trump’s team lack any Israeli representation, so that’s a good sign and also implies it’s not Netanyahu’s plan.
English
It couldn’t be clearer that U.S. foreign policy is being driven by unquestioning deference to Netanyahu’s government, not American voters.
@POTUS continues to align with Netanyahu’s agenda—funding the war in Gaza, backing occupation, and fueling regional escalation—while Congress looks the other way.
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s political capture through lobbying and fear of accountability.

Most foreign policy issues are difficult and complicated. Greenland isn’t one of them. Let’s have a look at seven points:
1. The U.S. needs Greenland for its own defense - Golden Dome, radars, basing.
▶️ The United States can do virtually anything it'd like in Greenland, security-wise, without taking possession of it. The 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement, which was renewed in 2004, allows the United States to build bases there, station troops, and more.
2. Greenland is about to fall into the hands of Russia and China, and the U.S. can’t let that happen.
▶️ The U.S. once had 10,000 U.S. troops in Greenland; now there are around 200. If there is an imminent threat of Chinese or Russian takeover (there isn’t), perhaps start by increasing that number?
3. Russian and Chinese ships are swarming Greenland and the Danes can’t fend them off.
▶️ If Russian and Chinese ships are really menacing the island, the U.S. Navy could sail around it right now en masse. It isn’t.
4. The U.S. needs to own Greenland because "you don't defend leases." Even if Denmark allows full access, there’s a difference between owning and renting.
▶️ This is the No One Washes a Rental Car theory of international relations. In reality, the United States is committed to defending many allies whose territory it does not own. Trump himself defended Israel just last year. The whole point of alliances is mutual defense of one another's territory. That doesn't require seizing it.
5. The Danes are bad allies, so they should hand over Greenland.
▶️ Denmark has been a model ally. Not so long ago, Danes fought for America’s defense rather than the other way around. Among 40-plus allies and partners in Afghanistan, Denmark lost the most soldiers as a percentage of its population. Our allies defended the U.S., which, by the way, none of them owns.
6. This is the new Manifest Destiny. We’re an expansionist, frontier people. Greenland should, one way or the other, join the ever-growing Republic.
▶️ The post-1945 order is predicated a prohibition against conquest. Countries don’t acquire the territory of another without their consent. Iraq doesn’t get Kuwait, Russia can’t have Ukraine, Canada won’t be the 51st state, and the U.S. doesn’t compel Greenland to join. We’ve seen a world before in which conquest abounds. It’s the law of the jungle.
7. This isn’t real, just some fun administration trolling of the ever-nervous Europeans.
▶️ It is at a minimum a major distraction from real issues the transatlantic allies should focus on: Russia, Ukraine, Iran, China. Prodding allies to distrust our word and intentions does not amount to good policy.
Most foreign policy issues are difficult and complicated. Greenland isn’t one of them. The sooner this manufactured crisis fades, the better.

@piersmorgan It would appear that the only legitimate security you have is NATO. I would recommend being nice to your neighbor Mr. Nukie McNuke Nuke otherwise GB will be added to the long list of countries you’ve already lost. 😂 choose wisely in your next elections.

Britain should repurchase America. After all, it was ours once, and it would enhance our North Atlantic security. If you don’t sell it to us, President Trump, we’re going to impose tariffs on the U.S. and any country who supports you in resisting this very good deal. Fair?

81 Republicans just voted to fund NED. So did every single Democrat. If Republicans voted in block like Democrats, NED would be defunded now. But the blocker, as I've said so many times, is not Democrats. If it was, all these things could be fixed. It's the Blob side of the GOP.

@xray_media @FmrRepMTG It is not the money, but rather the numerous conflicts with Trumps policies that are of primary concern. It’s hypocritical to continue to fund this toxic ideology while fighting here at home.
English
Trump's crusade against democracy promotion reveals a paradox: targeting a 0.005% budget line item while border chaos and inflation rage unchecked. Such misplaced priorities—ideology over governance—define this admin.
The Jan 14 vote exposed the farce: 81 Republicans rejected Trump's demand to gut NED's $315M—proving bipartisan recognition of its strategic value against authoritarianism. Yet the admin wasted political capital vilifying this efficient program (under 10% overhead) instead of solving real crises, revealing a pattern of self-sabotaging isolationism.
A monument to legislative impotence: when even your own party abandons symbolic cuts, the "America First" agenda collapses under its own contradictions.

One of the most obvious things that maps like this one immediately confirm is that regular people are actually very good at intuiting which neighborhoods are dangerous and which ones aren’t. Progressives sometimes get upset at the idea that there’s any such thing as a, “bad neighborhood,” but, in fact, crime is exactly where people think it is.
