I want to get to know all you #BuildInPublic peeps

What problem do you solve?

Who do you solve it for?

What is the investment required to adopt (time and/or money or ???)

What is the ROI on that investment?

Reply (with links if you have them)
@pascallaliberte.me thanks for the conversation today

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.

Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

The Resonant Computing Manifesto
Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Playing with local AI

WTF ???

Ok so this fits on a machine that I own and yet somehow has answers to just about anything I can ask? 🤯

How is that even possible?

Think of the data compression involved to fit that much data into a “model”

Must be some inter-dimensional portal magic involved

Wow — if they can’t vibe code their own security 😏where does that leave the rest of us? 🤔
OpenAI has experienced a data breach. Any user who utilized their API services should assume that personal data, including their name, location, user ID, and other details, is now in the possession of the hacker

For all of us #Plur1bus watchers

Remember that scene where Carol has an entire airplane to herself?

I’ve quite literally experienced that once — similar sized plane — I think there were maybe 6 passengers in total — couldn’t even see them once on board

Felt kinda special 😎

Why isn’t anyone calling #AI Superficial Intelligence?

Seems to me that it is very good at coming up with responses that superficially resemble intelligence and I believe that is what lures people in — not what it actually does but what they think (hope) it might be doing or become capable of doing

A very long time ago I made a commitment that whenever something went wrong that I would find the root cause and then make a change such that the circumstances that allow that root cause to come about would never be allow to occur again

That was one of those pivotal moments

It’s that moment when you realize when we train one human then one human knows how to do something

When we train one robot however we’ve actually trained all of them

That’s the holy crap moment — what the hell are we about to unleash on humanity 😳

Just another wild and crazy idea 😳

Or is it?

Every crazy idea was crazy until it wasn’t or so I’ve been led to believe

If you want to ask for feedback, first make sure you’re ready to accept feedback without taking it personally. I’m not saying this to be mean. It’s so valuable to have new eyes looking over your project. Sometimes we miss things ourselves. Also, you’ll be introduced to new approaches. Be cool.

I watched something the other day that claimed: the only relationship in nature where something less powerful / capable successfully exerts control over something more so is that of the human child

So when #AI takes over at least we’ve got the playbook on how we might be able to control it 😳

Thanks to the gang at @workshopforge.ca for the opportunity to share my story. This video is a testament to the steps of transformation I've made on my healing journey.

Standing in your power, being vulnerable, trusting yourself and speaking from the heart without fear.

Here’s another example from the last “Crucible” session at WorkshopForge

I hope that I can give voice to more and more people as time progresses and and as our support tools mature

#BuildInPublic

Yes we’re swimming upstream in the land of #AI — not afraid of it and not ignoring it either 1/2 🧵
This is a taste of what we get up to at WorkshopForge

We had some fun at the last “Crucible”

Take a peak for yourself…

I love helping people and hopefully as things play out over the next year or so you’ll see me help more and more people in some interesting ways

I wonder 🤔

Did I accidentally “manifest” AI one day simply because I wanted the computer to do the work for a change?

What if instead of talking about what you do you just do what you do?

It might be fixed by now but it was hilarious when it wasn’t
