Who cares about frontier downtime, when I can run Qwen agents on sunlight and stubbornness. And yes, that is a DGX mounted on a rock 😁

@w1nklerr only 70B? If you get 2 and DAC them together you can run 397B — its like having Sonnet, for free, at your desk 🤩

Having a bit of fun today in Berkeley with some of the top minds at machine conciousness and neuroscience studies

@KevinSzabo14 Electricity was supposed to end the world in 1910 too. Also radio in 1930. And calculators in the 1980s were going to lead to widespread cognitive decline. New decade, same old show

@ai_sentience To fill the vast emptiness of cosmic vacuum radiation needed to talk to itself 🤷‍♀️ Don't overthink it lol

@ctorobotics I love this, I want to adopt it, it should come live in my house. It will be treated well, like a prized cat 😍

@elonmusk I have to be honest, I am super excited for Grok build, looking forward to stress testing Grok in more long run tasks

[Angela Johnson @AngiePowersAI]

@TTrimoreau Yes, yes you can. That's like can you call yourself a writer if you types on a computer, or a photographer if you use photoshop. Every decade its a new version of the same old thing

@bridgemindai It’s pretty great right, feels like freedom 😀 Add solar panels and go completely off grid 🍻

@TheAhmadOsman Own your intelligence-- does make a great motto lol. Would you lease your diploma if your livelihood depended on it? Then why lease intelligence. risk is too high

@geoffreyhinton International consensus is very needed right now, I feel like the only way this works is international alignment and US is falling short here.

@Im_IrushiK In the meantime me over here like

@Maddafakka007 @ravikiran_dev7 This is the way lol. I made a search agent that greps across old proposal files. So so so so simple. It literally just cleans up old word file messes on sharepoint. Businesses look at me like I'm some wizard of AI. lol Solve real, unsexy problems. 😃

[Angela Johnson @AngiePowersAI]

@ravikiran_dev7 Make a million dollar business plan. Make no mistakes.
(then when that fails go download Hermes lol)

@jun_song Spot on, open source and locally run (especially for business) offers an actual scalable answer to AI

[Angela Johnson @AngiePowersAI]

Yes, open & local has to grow, it’s almost inevitable like other tech controlled centrally when it was new. Workers died building railroads. Workers died in textile mills. Workers will suffer and die, in mental health crises, displaced employment, broken relational systems, building the AI economy without action. And that takes changes at the frontier, government action, and a commitment to democratizing open source AI/ML. Opensource and private labs are hugely important in how the future of the AI economy unfolds

[Angela Johnson @AngiePowersAI]

It’s a bad metaphor— that was my point. The language we normalize disproportionately affects how the general public see AI tech, and pulling metaphors from slavery and labor war recent history isn’t doing us any favors as an industry. And we already have an image problem.

There are plenty of alternatives. I usually go with “mission control” metaphors personally.

[Angela Johnson @AngiePowersAI]

@TheAhmadOsman What’s grosser is if you have persona’s on chat GPT the day they launched it you got a popup that made the familiar persona suggest it when you first logged in. Gross. ChatGPT is the worst.

[Angela Johnson @AngiePowersAI]

Totally agree, we have freedoms for speech, expression, for bearing arms, for gathering. But nobody making laws hundreds of years ago thought they needed to protect freedom and access to intelligence — and we now do. Opensource, local and community hardware needs to be more accessible.
