@garrytan Are trying to sell us something Gary? Perhaps Gbrain? Not saying this is wrong but maybe you can elaborate how this is beneficial and to whom

[Elias H @ehussen]

Everyone on the AI side of X has been promoting one AI tool after another using crafted language to make it appear that we’re missing out on the latest version of ___ tool or model.

Now, they’re running negative campaigns against Chinese open source models. Very annoying

[Elias H @ehussen]

Claude remains unavailable in Ethiopia; even if you already have a US based claude account. Can you do something @AnthropicAI @TheAmolAvasare

[Elias H @ehussen]

@minilek @addisale @claudeai It’s crazy how even though I have a Claude account already, I can’t seem to use it without vpn if I am I’m accessing it from Ethiopia. Anyway good lookin out both of you 🙏🏾

[Elias H @ehussen]

@r0ck3t23 One thing not talked about enough is how a lot of laid off engineers unable to find employment eventually competing against the likes of salesforce, cloning and selling their top features for a fraction of the price built with $20-$100 Claude subscriptions and/or cheaper ai tools

[Elias H @ehussen]

Openclaw was only just trending before Chinese engineers came out with a massively cheap and more elegant version of it called Picoclaw

This the continuation of BYD vs Tesla; DeepSeek vs OpenAI; etc situations we’ve witnessed recently

[Bo Wang @BoWang87]

A Chinese hardware team just mass-democratized AI agents.

They took a 430,000-line AI assistant that needs a $599 Mac Mini and 1GB of RAM — and rewrote it in Go so it runs on a $9.9 dev board with less than 10MB of memory.

Boot time: from 500 seconds to 1 second.
Cost: from $599 to $9.9.
Memory: from 1GB to 10MB.

Same features: code generation, web search, Discord/Telegram chat, memory system, scheduled tasks, security sandbox.

The wildest part? They claim 95% of the new codebase was written by AI agents themselves. The humans just guided the architecture. It's an AI assistant that literally rebuilt itself to be smaller.

Launched February 9th. Four days later: 7,400+ GitHub stars.

This is the pattern no one's talking about enough.

Every AI capability that starts expensive gets commoditized within months. GPT-4 level models went open source in 6 months. Now the hardware floor for running a personal AI agent just dropped 60x in weeks.

The infrastructure moat in AI isn't sustainable. The only defensible advantage is what you do with these tools — not access to them.

[Elias H @ehussen]

It’s in the interests of the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic to make us, humans feel stupid and obsolete

[Elias H @ehussen]

“AI will be a period to reinvent ourselves, our work and our search for meaning in the universe. Ones that cross the chasm to the other side will find themselves happier & more valuable than ever. Those who wait for the dust to settle may find no ground left to stand on”

It’s not everyday one runs into three 🦜 in the middle of Addis. Very exciting

These are our very own Abyssinian lovebirds (parrot family) endemic to Ethiopia .

[Elias H @ehussen]

The scale is 0-1. Lower than .01 would be a straight up 0.

Nigeria scored the highest at 0.58 while Kenya 0.25

I don’t know how Ethiopian startups do this here and survive but big up to y’all that persevere despite the harsh startup environment

[Birrmetrics @birrmetrics]

A new report shows Ethiopia scored 0.01 on the Africa Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Index, indicating minimal startup support, limited mentorship, weak networking, and scarce innovation hubs compared with regional peers.

Now the agency > intelligence tweet from @karpathy is making the rounds

@grok explain agency with examples

[Elias H @ehussen]

I could never for the life of me get into “blockchain” and crypto when bitcoin as selling for $900 and blockchain was all the buzz.. I still distrust both

Ignorance maybe but I continue to wait to be proven right as $btc shoots for the moon 🧐

[Elias H @ehussen]

Honestly, returning to books as the primary medium of entertainment as opposed to social media, television and YouTube will cure many ills.

I think I have been in a state of brainrot for God knows how long which I think I am beginning to get out of inshaAllah

[Elias H @ehussen]

Yeah no more Vercel for me I’m afraid. Moving all deployments to @Cloudflare 🧡. Long overdue

[Elias H @ehussen]

I’m in the threatening the model phase of coding with the cursor. 🤯

[Elias H @ehussen]

Has anyone ever gotten rich watching these videos lol

[Elias H @ehussen]

Code-supernova trying to be sneaky and update my .env running `echo “….” >> backend/.env. 🧐

Caught it when it asked for permission to run the command lol.

This was because Cursor by default doesn’t allow access to environment files

[Elias H @ehussen]

@AvgDatabaseCEO @grok True. And who knows if this bill would pass bothe houses and become law and how watered down it’d get when it is signed

[Elias H @ehussen]

@AvgDatabaseCEO @grok can you talk about the HIRE act that is currently being considered in the senate

[Elias H @ehussen]

Gotten boring to lift every gym session so I decided to pick up tennis 🎾 again which meant a whole lot of knee pain. Nowadays I spend half of my gym time doing conditioning and balance exercises plus some kettlebell workouts

Knees are doing better and never felt more fit 🦾
