Building AI that understands the Caribbean. Yuh Gettin’ Tru, Pulse & BimOmni. Ex-Ripple, Arbitrum, Protocol Labs & IBM. Barbados.

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

1/ I build AI and digital infrastructure across the wider Caribbean and other Small Island Developing States, starting in Barbados.

Search. Local knowledge. Language. Government. Culture.

Here's what I'm building, and what I've learned putting it into production. 🧵

@jaad3nicol3 Happy Birthday! 🎂

[Marce___Vann__ @MarceVann]

Sto guardando in loop per la quindicesima volta e ho ancora le lacrime 🙈

@JessiSummer @SammGee That was not a twist I was expecting. But one of those clear moments when you can point and say that if there was a woman at the table for that decision it would not have gone ahead.

@_prettyimperfct Ma’am, this is a Chefette.

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@MikeDrucker It’s kinda a toss up between whether they get arrested for voter fraud or arrested for CSA.

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@uniqueshanzzz It did!

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@msvadari @jazzicoop Lots happening!

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@commensenseuk @wadz_king888 @Faith900822 Ripple were very much against the term “XRP Army” and really had very little interest or knowledge of what was going on in the community. Only recently have they started to involve them. But otherwise the community was entirely organic.

@AnnalisaK Bajan Peppa got to do dat one

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@NewMintedGOP @charise_lee You seem very confused.

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@NewMintedGOP @charise_lee It’s ok, you don’t need to move the goalposts. Just accept you are an idiot and move on.

🇧🇧 Bajans, a language Q: Is “Johnnie” just a term for male wutlessness? Or can you call a woman a Johnnie too? Or is there a better term for that?

“Cha boa, da johnnie driving all pon de road”

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@NewMintedGOP @charise_lee Wait until you hear about a religion called Christianity.

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@lukeyism Yeah, I wanted to actually get home that night, not spend the entire night stood by the side the highway explaining to the officer that the purple LEDs underneath my car were not illegal.

@MissRheaDawn Happy Birthday Rhea! 🎉

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@WayOfAce Oh wow. OK, that make my immigration office nonsense sound like a walk in the park.

@JayQinQT @opencode That is fro Opencode 1. I'm runnign Opencode 2. And besides I don't want to disable a provider. I want to disable a model. Why when I disable the model in the Opencode console does not not get disabled in the Opencode terminal. Surely that is the whole point of it?

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@opencode Q for you, I have most models disabled, and yet somehow my opencode agent managed to select and use M3 and use up all my quota, despite it being disabled. Why?

[Matt Hamilton @HammerToe]

@JayQinQT @opencode I’m not using openclaw. This is OpenCode, a completely different thing.
