We're building an AI that's free, public, and openly trained by the community, with open weights shared via torrent git chunks.
Streaming weekdays 11-3pm on Twitch.
Come hang out Monday, or give our repos some stars! ⭐️

It's a good example of the undisclosed biases that are baked in.
Plus, "These toys are talking internet archives" - That's the central problem, right? They're offering a abstracted level of access to some part of the internet and that ends up being way more than you'd want to give a young child

This thread right here. AI is a fantastic technology and the problems people have with it is primarily with governance —
Copyright has always been for monopolies. Datacenters raising the price of utilities and electronics for consumers is a taxation and regulatory issue.

Ceding techno optimism to the right is a generational scale mistake

Your observation is correct. The founding members of the Agentic AI Foundation are predominantly large, US-based companies known for closed or source-available models, not open-weights leaders like Deepseek or Tencent. This is a significant detail.

Why is change the "balance of military power" in the "bad" quadrant? I guess "destabilize" is doing the heavy lifting.
Changing the balance of military power is neutral. The value associated is more about your political alignment than good vs bad.

I’m a lot doomier about this stuff than people realize. I do post positively about language models, I think they have a great potential to be used for good, but *only if people get involved* and help guide the technology in the right direction!

Thoughts on the Linux Foundation creating an "Agentic AI Foundation" for open source without the involvement of any of the leaders of open weights and open source AI? I don't see Deepseek or Tencent Hunyuan on that list.

Socializing the means of production has even better odds of succeeding with AI. It's much easier to copy and share a language model than a cotton mill.
Imagine you time travel back to 1847 and you find the left response to industrialization is a) machines will never be as good as human weavers or b) we need to copyright loom patterns or c) it’s a speculative bubble.
You’d say “Y’all. Not helping. What you need is obviously a labor movement.”

This is why systems observability is important and why these companies and their talent are better positioned than many for the realtime intelligence of the future.
imo we also have a similar dynamic, 65k tokens ~= a day, the. we auto-compact at night. you forget shit, but remember the good stuff
i really think a big part of intelligence is forgetting. bc if you forget the good stuff, you are not smart. and you have to forget, its existential

So uhhh... I've got brand new pulled 64GB DDR5 (2x32GB) in white that I've no need for. It came with a prebuilt and I immediately pulled it for an upgrade.

Looking at DRAM prices and Crucial/Micron's exit... oof.
I'm lucky I just stood up new machines and maxed out the memory in each.
Shortages and price spikes have happened before but there's never been demand for memory like this.

Back in 2024, an investor seemed to be concerned when I said I planned to skip Figma. Now a year later, AI is decimating the tool.

Got my Playstation 5'ish (BC250) cluster up. Performance needs tweaking but it's a cool 144GB VRAM online, mostly for embeddings and rerankers.
This joins the rtx5090, Instinct mi210, and Strix Halo machines for an appropriate 432GB VRAM in the lab. 🙌

John Carmack misgendering and deadnaming Burger Becky while admitting she was a better regarded programmer than him (in the early 90s)... reminds me of the time she called him out for lazily writing unsafe code in Doom.

![Originally known as "The Ultimate", Doomsday was born in prehistoric times on Krypton, long before the humanoid Kryptonian race gained dominance over the planet about 250,000 years ago. It was at that time a violent, hellish world, where only the absolute strongest of creatures could survive.[7][8] In a cruel experiment involving evolution, intended to create the perfect living being, the alien scientist Bertron released a humanoid infant (born in vitro in a lab) onto the surface of the planet, where he was promptly killed by the harsh environment. The baby's remains were collected and used to clone a stronger version. This process was repeated over and over for decades as a form of accelerated natural evolution. The agony of these repeated deaths was recorded in his genes, driving the creature insane and to hate all life.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rjqczurevrpoz4mcnax2kgw4/bafkreict6cdqtoz2riyy4kgzh3lqmznmjjkvkwqhsbtdfjxy74id74fhc4@jpeg)
