Energy expert Sebastián Kind helped Argentina go from virtually no renewable energy to generating nearly 40 percent of its electricity from wind and solar in just six years, despite economic crises and skepticism. How did the country’s transition off fossil fuels happen so quickly? He shows why the key breakthrough didn’t hinge on technology or resources — and explains how other countries can follow the same path. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 17, 2025)

    This is a much better approach to the climate crisis than throwing paint at things

    Low cap now, but the potential upside is massive. Keep an eye on Belvarium Network

  7. @FelipeWren

    Don’t fade Belvarium presale just because it’s early — that’s where the real gains come from.

  8. @KarolynOsman

    October 6, 2025 at 8:24 pm

    Belvarium Network doesn’t rely on hype — they’re building real infrastructure.

  9. @JesusGriffith

    October 6, 2025 at 8:24 pm

    It’s early, but the Belvarium network community is growing FAST.

  10. @SatyaConrad

    October 6, 2025 at 8:25 pm

    There’s not a lot of noise around Belvarium BLV yet. That’s exactly what I love.

    Remember when AVAX and SOL were under $1? Belvarium Network is at that stage.

    This talk is pointless in light of who will be demanding most of the energy. I believe in renewable but I see the reality. The reality is the need of electricity by data farms is driving electricity cost. Future planned generation plants will fall short of AI needs. Fossil fuel plants won’t be shutting down anytime soon because of this. Any talk about renewable or in general electricity is pointless without including AI & data farms power needs. The need is such that nuclear energy has to be included to cover our electricity needs. A thorough discussion of power generation will be forced on us once power cost becomes 2nd highest cost to consumers after their mortgage bill. If it hasn’t already for some.

    what ? Replicate Argentina every where else ? You must be joking 😂

    40% from Wind and Solar is good.

Building beyond LLMs with Luma AI’s Amit Jain (Live at Web Summit Qatar) | Equity Podcast

LLMs may have kicked off this AI boom, but the ceiling is closer than the hype suggests. As models run out of text data to train on, the companies and investors paying attention are already moving on. The next wave isn’t better chatbots; it’s machines that can understand the physical world. Luma AI, the Bay Area lab that raised over $1.4 billion from a16z, Nvidia, and Amazon, is betting on exactly that.

On episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, we’re bringing you a conversation Rebecca Bellan sat down with Amit Jain, co-founder and CEO of Luma AI, at Web Summit Qatar. Together, the pair dug into where the next trillion-dollar AI opportunity actually gets built, and whether the companies chasing it even know what they’re building yet.
