NEWS: Elon Musk's The Boring Company just laid out detailed plans for the future of its tunnel system in Las Vegas, and what to expect in the near future.
• Phase 1: Limited airport rides are already being tested using existing Loop stations (Resorts World, Encore, Westgate, LVCC). About 50 rides are currently being given per day. This week, Boring Co. began picking up airport passengers after 100 of its 130-car fleet of Teslas were outfitted with transponders the airport requires of transportation companies.
• Phase 2: A new 2.2-mile dual-direction tunnel from Westgate toward Paradise Road is under construction. Initially, vehicles will exit the tunnel and complete the final airport leg above ground. This will remove 2 miles of above-ground travel needed now. Boring Co. President Steve Davis expects this portion to be in operation in the next couple of months.
• Phase 3: The tunnel extends closer to Terminal 1. This will eliminate waiting for the stoplight at the intersection of Tropicana and University Center. The Vegas Loop’s fleet will jump to between 250-300 @Tesla vehicles.
• Phase 4 (which Davis calls the “holy grail”): A dedicated underground airport station directly serving the terminals.
• Core Las Vegas Strip construction could start this fall
• Strip build-out targeted for ~2027
• Downtown and southern expansions could follow in 2028–2029
To build the full system, The Boring Company needs 600+ more permits across Clark County. Each permit currently takes ~6 months, with a new one currently being approved every 1-2 weeks, which is why the company is working with local officials on a streamlined, operator-style permitting process similar to how @SpaceX operates.
I love trains, but the future is individualized mass transit with autonomous electric vehicles taking you precisely to your destination.
Tunnels are needed to address the fundamental choke points in cities. You can’t have 3D buildings and expect a 2D transport system to be effective! Multiple layers of tunnels enable transport to be 3D too.
The fastest way to travel long distances city center to city center, short of new physics, is cars/pods in vacuum tunnels.
Hands down the best bar on the planet. Omaha Bar on a quiet Monday morning. Great crew, great coffee, great conversation.

Samsung’s giant new Texas fab will be dedicated to making Tesla’s next-generation AI6 chip. The strategic importance of this is hard to overstate.
Samsung currently makes AI4.
TSMC will make AI5, which just finished design, initially in Taiwan and then Arizona.

🚨Keith Rabois on Perplexity's AI browser: "It's a great Hail Mary attempt" because " absent something like this, Perplexity is toast."
@jason:
"OpenAI and Perplexity are going after the browser."
"Perplexity launched Comet for their $200/month tier."
"This is a really interesting category. Having your browser connected to agents lets you do really interesting things."
@rabois:
"I think it's a great Hail Mary attempt by Perplexity."
"I think absent something like this, Perplexity is toast."
"Like, per the stat about ChatGPT going to a billion users, it's becoming the verb, you know, the way you describe using AI for a normal consumer."
"There's nothing left of Perplexity if they can't pull this off."
"So it's a great idea because the history of consumer technology companies is, whoever has uphill ground, like in a military sense, whoever's first has a lot of control."
"This is actually what Google should be doing, truthfully."
"I think Google Search is toast."
"And since they have Chrome and they theoretically have a quality team in Gemini, they should be putting these two things together and hoping to compete with ChatGPT."
"They're gonna lose the search game. The assets that are best at Google right now have nothing to do with search."
"It's every other product that's the only thing that's gonna save that company if they can figure out how to use them."

This ought to be the final time we change our clocks!
Daylight Savings is a relic that disrupts our natural rhythms and serves no real purpose in the modern world.
We need to end this for good!
