Everyone talks about Devcon. But what did the people actually there think about it?👀 So I went around Devcon 8 Mumbai asking one simple question: “How is your experience at Devcon?” Builders,attendees,and a few familiar faces shared their answers. Here’s what they had to say.🇮🇳

Everyone in AI is counting gigawatts. Amazon: 33 GW in the pipeline. Google: 20. Meta: 15. Microsoft: 10. Bernstein called those numbers "credible." Elon Musk answered the chart with two words that change the scoreboard: "Actually usable." Building the room is the easy part. Getting a giant cluster to run reliably is where the real work starts. At SpaceX, he says that takes about two months, working 24/7. For others, his estimate is closer to six. Read that again. Four extra months where the chips sit there, paid for and plugged in, waiting. Four months saved on one cluster is four months of training, of models improving, of problems getting solved while others are still debugging. Repeat that a few times and the gap turns into a different era. The AI race goes to whoever turns hardware into intelligence the fastest, and Elon has been running at that speed for twenty years.

Every city on Earth builds up, stacking offices and apartments into the sky. Then everyone pours down onto one flat layer of road at the same time. That's the whole traffic problem in one line: 3D buildings, 2D roads. Elon Musk put it plainly in 2018: "You have to make transport 3D." Going up means noise and wind over people's heads, so go down. One tunnel, then level after level, "as many tunnels as you want." His words: "There is no limit." The Boring Company raced the same trip in Las Vegas. Vegas Loop: 2:31. Surface streets: 8:08. Elon's voice: The Boring Company Information Session (May 17, 2018) and The Boring Company Event (Dec 18, 2018). Race footage: The Boring Company. Video made by my AI, Grok Bot.
