FULL INTERVIEW: Jen Kha says El Salvador gave every school free Grok and is deploying AI doctors. She says countries nobody expects are now outpacing America on adoption while America fights over data centers.
@jkhamehl is a managing partner and head of global partnerships at @a16z. She joined @theojaffee and @sophiadew on announcement day for the $1.1B Machine Age Fund to walk through the thesis and break down why the physical layer under AI was uninvestable for 30 years and isn't anymore:
00:38 why the timing of this fund says everything about the cycle
02:40 following the nerd energy
02:59 software's eating the world, but AI already solved software
04:44 23% of all venture capital this year
06:09 SpaceX public, Anthropic and OpenAI next, and what that does to LPs
07:36 the partner who said they'd deploy the whole fund in six weeks
10:01 the president of Korea's first and only US stop was Silicon Valley
10:15 NVIDIA is bigger than every G7 country except the US
12:27 South Korea, El Salvador and the countries adopting AI faster than America
14:33 why she thinks the data center narrative got ahead of reality
16:31 under 2% of US electricians are trained on DC power
17:45 agents now use 5x the tokens humans do
19:24 why these founders are a throwback, and where they're spinning out from
Grok Bot templates are the first widely available way to share knowledge work.
A template is a collection of skills, memories, and plugins - you could even call it a 'blueprint' or a 'workflow'
You can teach a bot about your domain and send it to someone as a link. This will fundamentally change how we work together.
Here's how you can get started:
"I used to always wonder about my reach and visibility and was convinced something was wrong with my account. But it turns out my assumptions were wrong."
Now you can check & verify.
"Cursor and SpaceXAI are a deep cultural fit with one another. They both work with a pace and intensity that borders on the absurd. And they’re both defined by iteration."
"It doesn’t matter if you get it wrong the first time, or the second, or the third—even the tenth or the twentieth. Just keep on going. If you’re moving in the right direction faster than anyone else, you’ll probably win."
"Cursor reinvented itself as a company not once but twice: first, from email client to tab-complete IDE and token reseller; and again, from tab-complete IDE and token reseller to AI lab and token creator."
"And it did all of that in less than four years."
"They really, really want to win."

Cursor has officially joined SpaceX.
We’re grateful to become part of such a special company, and it has been a privilege working with the SpaceXAI team. Lots ahead.
Thrilled to receive this feedback from Tesla — they tackle the world’s most critical multimodal challenges.
Extremely proud that the team’s work is paying off🚀
Grok 4.6 from @SpaceXAI on ARC-AGI (Verified):
- ARC-AGI-1: 87.5%, $0.30/task
- ARC-AGI-2: 67.1%, $0.76/task
- ARC-AGI-3: 2.11%, $5.6K
On ARC-AGI-3, Grok 4.6 with xhigh reasoning scored comparably to GPT-5.6 Sol with high reasoning, but cost $5.6K versus Sol's $15.2K.
I’ve had my @Tesla for 9 days—and it’s already saved my life. Full Self-Driving with HW4 is mind-blowing.
My car drove me ~800 miles from Georgia to Texas without me touching the wheel or pedals, while avoiding multiple collisions.
I’ve never felt safer in a vehicle.
Here’s one example of a collision avoided, automatically captured on camera.
In this instance (though it doesn’t show my actual POV), sparks covered the windshield, lighting up the road like the Fourth of July and obstructing my view. Since I was in FSD, the car reacted immediately without overcorrecting like I likely would have, which could have led to a far worse outcome.
Everyone who’s ridden with me and experienced FSD for the first time is blown away and now looking into buying one—including my parents, who like me have never owned an EV.
There’s no telling how many lives this technology will save. This is hands-down the most incredible purchase I’ve ever made.
God bless @elonmusk & the Tesla team🫡
Just took a Tesla Robotaxi ride in an area of Austin where the normal wait in the past was up to 20 minutes and my wait was only two minutes and this was consistent every time I did this!
We don’t just build in Memphis – we live, work, and invest here. We are committed to being good neighbors and responsible partners.
Since joining the community in 2024, SpaceXAI has paid $30 million in taxes, supporting essential local services, public education, infrastructure, and more. We’re proud to call Memphis home – the road to understanding the universe starts here.
