@Hiraweb3 @PrimeIntellect @adaption_ai really well! highly recommend prime intellect!

[Will Knight @willknight]

For my newsletter this week, I tried fine-tuning my own models using tools from @PrimeIntellect and @adaption_ai. Most of the big labs are using AI to build powerful models, but the same approach could also give people greater control over their own AI.

@jietang multimedia capabilities would be nice. also the ability to create your own research harness!

[Will Knight @willknight]

@alexocheema I dmed you about trying it out!

[Will Knight @willknight]

@DJiafei yes, good point. i think there are some very exciting things happening in manufacturing these days, I need to learn more!

[Will Knight @willknight]

I spent the past week and a meeting with a lot of Chinese AI experts. American AI bros have more in common with them than they think. https://t.co/PSO0u5ZhUt

The US needs to figure out how to accelerate its own robotics industry rather than just impede foreign companies. American manufacturing badly needs a reboot.

[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

Unitree was recently designated as a Chinese military company and its products are a threat to our national security, yet here is @Amazon selling a Unitree robot in America.

We need Chairman @RepMoolenaar’s GUARD Act to stop this threat and support American robotics.

@j2bryson i don't know to be honest. but there are still more AI and robotics people here I think...

I just learned a lovely Chinese phrase for dystopian: 反乌托邦的 (Fǎn wūtuōbāng de) meaning literally "anti-utopia".
