Will the increasing shift towards smaller, more efficient AI models revolutionize the way we interact with AI? Can open-source models and fine-tunes like Hermes 3 and Grok 2 challenge the dominance of proprietary models? And what does the future hold for AI development as the hype and investment surrounding AI begin to wane? Join me as I explore these questions and more on this episode of Ai Unchained.

"When you introduce 2 million, 10 million "developers" that were never developers into an ecosystem that's used to having closed platforms and silos and stuff, what do those 10 million motivated people build? They're more likely to build the solution that they always wanted and that they build something that gets around these silos.
One of the most important things that's going on right now is the shift from closed platforms to open protocols. The more that all of that stuff is open, the more the walls, the potential barriers that appear to lock people into these platforms will just kind of start to fall away.
On a long enough timeline, open just wins."

In a recent episode of The Staying Free Podcast, I had a valuable conversation with my friend and colleague Jonny, also known as jonnyhodl. We delved into the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and individual sovereignty, challenging the conventional narratives that often depict AI as a threat to freedom.
We explored the open versus closed system debate, questioning whether decentralization can truly safeguard our liberties in an age of intelligent machines. The discussion also touched on crucial issues like privacy, autonomy, and human agency, encouraging people to rethink their understanding of AI. Could AI be a tool for liberation, or are we on the brink of a new form of control?
This was a conversation worth sharing, as it offers deep insights into the potential of AI to either enhance or erode our freedoms.

Open source Ai is catching up. In this episode of AI Unchained, we explore the implications of the dominant open source models actually competing with proprietary models. We challenge assumptions about AI development trajectories, drawing parallels with other technological evolutions. Could the next AI revolution be horizontal rather than vertical, and what might this mean for accessibility and innovation in the field?

“Intelligence without wisdom is nothing more than stupidity that looks smart.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
Is AI really all hype and oversold gimmicks, or is it going to change the world and replace everyone with software workers? Or are both of these views a distraction from what's right in front of us? How is AI useful today for very real tasks? In this episode, we'll dive into some major new open-source models and releases, along with exploring the very practical applications of LLMs with the help of Nicholas Carlini's fantastic article on where he finds value today. I also want to challenge the pessimistic views about AI's impact on jobs and share how we can leverage these tools to enhance our work and bring new projects to life. But how can you start using AI effectively in your daily tasks and creative endeavors? Let's find out.

How might open-source AI development shape the future of artificial intelligence and global competition? Guy Swan examines Leopold Aschenbrenner's "Situational Awareness" piece and Mark Zuckerberg's recent article on open-source AI, exploring the potential for an intelligence explosion, the risks of centralized AI development, and the advantages of a decentralized approach. Could open innovation be the key to maintaining technological leadership and ensuring a positive AI future?

"He was giving me enough rope to hang myself with. Apparently he didn't realize that once a noose is tied it will fit one neck as easily as another." ~ Patrick Rothfuss
"Do we need an AGI Manhattan Project? Slowly at first, then all at once, it will become clear: this is happening, things are going to get wild, this is the most important challenge for the national security of the United States since the invention of the atomic bomb. In one form or another, the national security state will get very heavily involved. The Project will be the necessary, indeed the only plausible, response." ~ Leopold
Will the race for AGI lead to a Manhattan Project-like initiative, and how might this reshape the global order? Today we diver into the final read of "Situational Awareness: The Decade Ahead" on the inevitability of the race to AGI and superintelligence and what it will mean for the free world, the economy, and the future of humanity. Don't miss this epic conclusion.

“Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird, That cannot fly.” ~ Langston Hughes
"Reliably controlling AI systems much smarter than we are is an unsolved technical problem. And while it is a solvable problem, things could very easily go off the rails during a rapid intelligence explosion. Managing this will be extremely tense; failure could easily be catastrophic."
~ Leopold Aschenbrenner
As we approach a potential intelligence explosion and the birth of superintelligence, how can we ensure AI remains beneficial and aligned with the goals of furthering humanity, while navigating the complex geopolitical landscape? And what role will the United States play in shaping the future of AI governance and global security?

“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” ~ Isaac Asimov
What if the race to AGI isn't just about code, but a massive industrial mobilization? As AI capabilities grow exponentially, will we see trillion-dollar compute clusters and unprecedented energy demands? And in this high-stakes competition, how critical is securing AI secrets from rival nations? This episode delves into these questions, exploring the potential challenges and geopolitical implications of rapid AI advancement.

Open AI signals that they are the surveillance leviathon we suspected they always were. Anthropic's Claude 3.5 may be even better than ChatGPT. I explore and detail out some new tools and build new tiny apps to recreate some of the incredible features of the Apple AI announcements, but in a local, open source way. A cybersecurity disaster in Microsoft's announcement of their new OS "feature" Recall and why it may be the worst thing for security and privacy in a very long time. And much more in today's episode, on New Tools and Major Moves in AI.

"Our economic systems were not built for a world driven by technology where prices keep falling. They were built for a pre-technology era when labour and capital were inextricably linked, an era that counted on growth and inflation, an era where we made money from scarcity and inefficiency. That era is over."
~ Jeff Booth, The Price of Tomorrow
