Mariana: Critical Mass Mining hasn't changed much in over a century, and it's suddenly the bottleneck for everything from AI to defense. Mariana is rebuilding the industry software-first, from the ground up. Turner Caldwell Mariana Minerals

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals Stunning!

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals One down, so many to go!

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals Gives me chills!

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals Everyone talks about the AI supply chain. The raw materials underneath it are where the real bottlenecks start.

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals founders like this make me bullish on the US

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals @MarianaMinerals is fascinating to me.

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals This is the unglamorous layer the AI story keeps hiding. Models need chips, chips need metals, metals need permits, machines and ugly logistics. Software can improve discovery and operations, but it cannot wish a mine into existence.

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals the more i look at it a16z doesnt represent where things really are going its more like a dysfucnctional hedge fund

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals finally some real code in the mud

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals Mining as the bottleneck for AI and defense tracks. Software-first rebuilds address the inertia that kept the industry static for a century.

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals AI isn't a magic solution, but it's a powerful amplifier. Rebuilding mining software-first from the ground up is exactly the pragmatic engineering we need.

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals The talent map here is unusually cross-disciplinary: mining ops, geology, industrial software, permitting, and AI/defense demand all in one chain. That is not a normal SaaS hiring profile.

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals Amazing work by the a16z team here! The Future is Metal 🤘🏾

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals Mining has become a strategic technology industry, not just a resource industry. AI, energy, and defense all depend on faster access to critical materials.

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals century old industry finally getting a software upgrade, about time

@tbc415 @MarianaMinerals Mining as the unseen bottleneck for AI makes sense — compute, materials, energy all trace back to it. Good timing.
