People have been rewriting history and saying that "everyone has always believed that LLMs alone wouldn't be AGI and that extensive scaffolding around them would be necessary". No, throughout most of 2023 (the "sparks of AGI" era) the mainstream bay area belief was that LLMs were *already* AGI, and that merely scaling their parameter count and training data size by ~2 OOM without changing anything else would lead to super-intelligence.

Let's gooo - we hacking something supercool remotely for this with @JunaidDawud and @deploydan AKA team Yes CHEF h/t @LeRobotHF

We just passed 5⃣0⃣0⃣ sign-ups for the Open Source Real-time Voice and Video AI Hackathon this weekend. It's not too late to sign-up and join the fun — in SF and remote on Discord. Now is a great time to thank our volunteer judges for joining us on Sunday to check out all the projects (and to award the $20,000 in *cash* prizes.) @jheitzeb — global organizer of AI Tinkerers, founder, ai wrangler @aerbitsai — bringing ai video to life at Tavus @lizziepika — dev advocate and ai accelerator at Cloudflare @charles_irl — ai engineer extraordinaire at Modal @khushkhushkhush — investor at A* Adarsh Sivadas — Google & Cloud at Google @nehiljain — founder of DemoDrive AI @hackgoofer — stealth startup founder (and winner of 7 hackathons in the last ~year, so it's lucky for the rest of us she's a judge this time)

I'm so tired of being in rooms where people whisper about the absolute ARMY of Big Tech-funded people (most, but not all, ex-Googlers) that have popped up in nearly every corridor in DC where people are working on literally anything to do with AI. So let's talk about it! 1/12
