Happy Birthday, America. Ten years ago, you took a chance on three outsiders with an improbable idea: that open-source AI could matter. At the time, the field was tiny, the vision sounded unrealistic,

Happy Fourth of July! We want to expand the plugin interface of Hermes Agent so that many developers who have PRs waiting for very long periods can implement stable changes that they can share and pub

Happy July 4th everyone 🇺🇸 250 years ago, our founding fathers did not have access to frontier models. (Alexander Hamilton wrote 51 of the 85 Federalist papers. Imagine how many he would've written if

happy was able to see you! @aiDotEngineer means a lot to me too, and so many others. Not only the densest signal conference, but also the best place to make new friends for life. The community is so l

Here's a cool piece of LLM lore: the original scaling laws were wrong due to a bug, which probably led to a lot of wasted compute on oversized undertrained models 🫣 (and that was before we even starte

Hermes Agent is built for sovereignty and constructing your AI stack how you want and need it to be. No vendor lockins, no model limitations, and most importantly, your IP is built through the self im

Hey, Fable: 'No like 'AAA' in what everyone online thinks AAA is, you know what I mean.' This was pretty funny, there are lootboxes, EULAs, achievements, useless graphical settings, elaborate boot scr

How? Instead of closed-source frontier labs running the same training runs in secret and siloes, open science and open-source AI allows them to mutualize spending and compute making them an order of m

I love everything about the 4th of July, and the 250th anniversary is especially great for me because I am joining with family and friends for a reading of the Declaration of Independence, a BBQ, and

i often think about the irony of how 'tools for thought' people spent like a decade making cool pretty demos with canvases and then got completely mogged by low contrast poorly designed CLIs just winn

Connor Leahy shared an anecdote about creating a text-to-speech (TTS) version of Zeta Lyrae's work 'No-One Escapes the Permanent Underclass' when the AI encountered a notable glitch partway through th

If this doesn’t chill you, I don’t know what will. 😱 “A president with the authority that Trump is now asserting could in theory put the world’s most powerful AI to repressive ends while at the same t

Indeed: if we actually had AGI we would not need forward deployed engineers. Two simultaneous AI narratives right now: 1) You can now do the work of 20 people, learn anything and create anything with

I’ve gotten reasonable success by creating a skill that reflects my writing style, and hillclimbing the skill based on my real writing samples. I think that solves 70% of the style problem, though doe

Multimodal prompting enhances coding agents by enabling them to process and integrate multiple types of input data—such as text, images, and code snippets—simultaneously, improving their ability to un

@loujaybee If they are serious and not afraid of a bit of maths, I would recomend starting off by reading : 1) The Algebraic Mind by @GaryMarcus 2) Book of Why by @yudapearl 3) A Guide for Thinking Hu

This post discusses the evolution of multimodal prompting in AI agent interactions, highlighting how users can now communicate with AI systems using multiple input types beyond text. The author provid

Oh look. The migrant who stomped a white Swedish man to death was a rapist ... because of course he was. Meaning, if the authorities did their fucking job and deported him, Christian Zedig's children

MIT and Apache 2.0 are both permissive open-source licenses, but Apache 2.0 provides more explicit legal protections including patent grants and indemnification clauses, while MIT is simpler and short

AI-powered security systems will be necessary to detect and defend against AI-based threats, as human security experts cannot match the speed and sophistication of AI attacks. This perspective suggest

Open-source AI models provide users with full control, customization capabilities, and data ownership, addressing privacy and autonomy concerns compared to proprietary alternatives. The post highlight

Patriotism is love for your country’s culture and people. It is defensive. Nationalism is love for your country’s state. It is power-based. This is the essence of the distinction Orwell drew between t

Saying tokens and equity can’t both have value for @AskVenice / VVV is silly There is a clear example of success in doing both. @Ripple equity is 50b. XRP is 70b. Purists can knock it but they can’t d

That's a great speech that captures the essence of American exceptionalism. It is not based on innate superiority, power or wealth, but rather on the fact that the outcasts of the world could set foot

We are leaving the Old Code Age, the Paleocodic, the artisinal code era, where if you needed a novel program, you would commission a local codesmith or code guild to hand-craft a work of code for you,

Ethan Mollick reflects on how future generations will be amazed at the complexity and scale of work humans accomplished using only traditional keyboards and interfaces, before presumably more advanced

What if the model is the router? I think people underestimate the ability of frontier models now, but especially in the near future, to delegate work on their own as needed to dumber, cheaper models.

While Trump walked away with a 636 million profit from his crypto venture, nearly 1 million people who bought into it lost a total of 3.81 billion through the end of June. They were probably mostly hi
