As desktop & mobile UIs for popular harnesses emerge, there are clear problems (and opportunities!).
We are addressing these directly with ThinkOS...a desktop & mobile application (coming soon!) that allows you to completely own/build your own AI....even as a non-technical person....even in complex business settings:
(1) Local, private, model-agnostic, uncensored, & independent AI must be encouraged by default.
(2) Your thoughts/memories/context shouldn't be fractured across providers. These are yours. Context/permissions can be carefully given to your teams/projects as needed on a peer-to-peer basis.
(3) Big Tech seems content to partner with top harnesses as long as centralized API keys/oauths are front and center (it doesn't need to be this way!).
(4) Even Big Tech harnesses are too complex for most people, which requires hiring expensive forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) to get your company up to speed. Most companies are falling dangerously behind.
(5) ThinkOS aims to DRAMATICALLY simplify the wins for everyday people with private, independent AI across personal and professional projects. Complex connectors/skills/tools/artifacts lose basically everyone except advanced AI architects (hence the need for expensive FDEs).
(6) ThinkOS will, of course, allow advanced users to setup complex agentic swarms/teams like other harnesses/frameworks. In addition, we believe our UX will make these easier to manage across multiple models.
(7) While Big Tech models will, of course, be optional (like any other model....hence "model-agnostic")...we are designing for local models by default....and leveraging Compiled Intelligence to reduce the need for LLM calls over time.
ThinkOS is a desktop app for working with AI agents across your actual operating context.
The premise is simple: AI should not be locked inside one tab, one model, one vendor, or one company's idea of how you work.
Been sitting in the sidelines for too long knowing @quirkiesnft is growing with a SOLID community
Time to make moves
Thank you @RealPapii for helping find the right one for me
One of my favorite projects that’s really showing up day in and day out is @quirkiesnft led by my good friend @realpapii
The other day I got airdropped these amazing Digital Collectors Cards for holding my 100 OG Quirkies
The art is incredible, the vibes are incredible, see you today at 4 pm EST on spaces to talk Quirks and the future of NFTs in general !!
🔥♠️ ATTN Quirkie/QuirKid Holders
🚨 CHECK YOUR WALLETS 🚨
OG Quirkie / QuirKid QRC's Are NOW AIRDROPPED to ALL HOLDERS
That's right, our newest Quirkie Recognition Cards (QRCs) for your Quirkie/QuirKid holdings are NOW LIVE and have been airdropped into your wallet
This art has been hand drawn and curated for nearly the last two months with countless hours and layers of art going into each one.
We built out 10 tiers of recognition cards to highlight our Quirkie/QuirKid holders and the amount they're holding
These cards are digital collectibles that automatically populate in your wallet. They also will leave your wallet if you sell below a tier and they stack and accumulate as your collection grows.
Example: @Captain_Kev_eth is our TOP HOLDER with 150 OG Quirk/QuirKids so Kev receives all 10 cards including "The King of Quirks" card which is the only 1/1 card in the collection
As we continue to build out our QRCs, we will continue to build ways to token gate and reward systems around the QRCs where we can
For example : all of our whales will for now on be measured and rewarded by the WHALE (15 OG's) QRC and no longer just speculative holdings.
Automation runs the cards and they updated every 24 hours or so, so if you add OG's or subtract and reach or lose a level, this will happen through our auto mint and auto burn system.
Here are the 10 tiers of cards we JUST LAUNCHED 🧵👇
Starting w/
1 OG - Quirkton 🦠 (approx 1500 Holders)
** THREAD BELOW WITH THE REMAINING CARDS **
The future of the Quirkie brand is built on these things
- Streetwear
- Action Sports
- Kid & Family Friendly IP Expansion
- Digital and Physical Collecting
- Community and Networking
- GIFs, 2 & 3D Short and Long Animation
- IRL Events
- Strategic Partnerships
- Merging Web2 and Web3
- Fun/Unique Art and Character/World Building
We have the ball rolling in all of these areas
Eight months ago when we took over the brand, this was not the case
I’m excited and super proud of all the people that have contributed
Thank you for your support, we are committed.
No Sniper Sunday tonight due to Mothers Day BUTTTT
We decided to host a special Town Hall tomorrow night on spaces with lots of updates about the future of Quirks including a recap of the Founders meeting in Miami 🔥
https://t.co/YZw1G16pTh
Drove a few hours down to Miami today to the Pudgy HQ for a mastermind @LucaNetz put together… worth every minute
Didn’t know who was gonna be there but a really great crew showed up
I probably forgot a few or don’t have your X but @illaDaProducer@LucaNetz@Maaaaahhhaaaaa@HenryTheGrape@kaneco@doodlifts@atarigod@ajt@Gabrielesm1@ernestleedotcom@6529Guardian@collectionist@Digitoys@tolibear_@BitGo and a few others showed up
It was also really special to have @HollanderAdam repping @opensea and @mikashi repping @MetaMask in the room as well
Luca layed out a landscape of the space, problems and solutions and the convos started to flow
I believe today we realized that even though many of our projects are different, many of our futures have different plans of execution… we are stronger if we’re aligned
I gained a new level of respect for Luca, I got to see a side I haven’t seen.
I think today was the birth of a coalition of sorts, a cohort… @illaDaProducer said it best, “probably should have happened in 2022”
Some “important” founders of bigger projects didn’t show or send someone to rep… imo bad look…
but
If we can keep these masterminds going, I believe the overall perception of NFTs will get better… the tech will also get better and be more fit to what we need and…
ultimately collectors across all collections and chains will be better off 💯
I want to also give flowers to @HollanderAdam who handled today like a gem. Quirkies stand with OpenSea every step of the way. We appreciate how involved and real you were along side of @mikashi and MM…
If we have those two in the convos going forward I truly believe we can grow to insane levels as a category… not just as projects competing for liquidity and attention… but improve the category as a whole 💯
Of course I leave the meeting and deal with some Twitter bs
but man… today was special and I was happy to represent Quirks in that room.
Plenty more to come.
Future is bright.
Your two favorite OG Unc’s (me and @beijingdou, obviously), will be talking with the new @thinkagents team to unpack what’s next.
Livestream starts Tuesday at 12:30pm PT / 3:30pm ET.
If your AI is powerful enough to run your work, it's powerful enough to become a point of control.
A future where the best AI tools require government ID is no longer theoretical.
The question is simple:
Do you own your intelligence, or do you rent it from platforms?
I am really proud with how we have positioned Quirkies in 6-7 months
Thank you to everyone for the support, day in and day out
and thank you to the immense support from even the non-holders
SOOOO many people have been in my inbox lately saying they're saving for or shopping for their first Quirkie
We want to be known as a headquarters for NFT believers, founders, builders.
Come in, network, build with us, grow.
This has been our focus and a big reason for our stability and community strength.
Thank you all for giving us a chance, we have a long term vision and the run way to do it.
We are not just believers in chats though, we have a team that is competent, capable and consistent.
We will keep making you proud.
