Going to put out some stuff about it soon. Looking forward to getting feedback. I am interested to hear more.

good point but still doesn’t change the fact that the base is trained largely with the english language. you can access this data easily by looking at what % gpus are being purchased by the us compa...

True they will get much better at understanding our intent specified in English.

But it won’t stop language translation layer like Hindi to English ; This will also keep getting better and thus will prevent the need for whole world to learn English to get machines to do our bidding

just a secondary layer which will gradually disappear and english will become the dominant language. only chinese maybe hindu too given the population has a little chance to survive

I can’t see the need/reason for the ‘secondary‘ layer to disappear. In fact I think it’ll have the opposite effect and strengthen smaller languages. There won’t be a need to necessarily learn the foreign bigger language(s) if you can much more easily converse in your mother tongue. The AI ...

Exactly the use case I mean. AI’s language is not English. It’s just translated for humans.

I've been pondering on a longer form post about my AI journey and the primary step function milestones that happened. I think it would be a great intro to folks trying to get into AI building.

Animal confinement is terrible, which is why it's not how we raise our animals and why I'm careful with where we buy any of our food. Big agriculture - whether of grains or meat - is horrible for ani...

Hi , sorry for my delayed response. I wrote a draft but it didn’t get saved as I wanted to come back to it and finish it later 😄 . So let me try to write it again.

I guess Im referring to eating Animals itself as a naturalistic fallacy that its the way it happens in nature, so we will do it and then comes we should do it in a better way than nature.

But our methods are actually not better than nature - an animal raised only to be killed (At least nature is kinder in giving them a chance at survival). And then the people who do the killing don’t even want to do it (read a research on that long ago) and only do because we live in a monetary system where everyone has to earn a living and so they do so to survive ( In nature the eater does the killing, but we have outsourced that pain , guilt & useless empathy to others) ..

In short, our ways are way worse than nature and one of the causes for it is monetary market based economic system we live in. We can do better but only if we acknowledge that we are not doing our best

Yes, "not necessarily" is a good way to phrase it. I've seen how wild animals kill their prey and it's definitely not how we kill our livestock. Nature can be an excellent starting point and guide but...

We definitely need not be more cruel than nature, I think we can agree on that.

What Dr. Temple Grandin’s work did was to make animal slaughter less cruel than it was.

But, I think we humans kill animals in a more cruel way than nature does. When in the wild animals are hunted they have a chance to escape and live , we on the other hand leave them no choice like that, which is much worse if you think about cruelty not just in the form of physical violence, its a lifetime of torture and imprisonment, So yeah, sorry but we are much below natures standards and I think, we need to keep striving to rise above it rather than using “Naturalistic Fallacy” argument to justify status quo.

Big agriculture - whether of grains or meat - is horrible for animals and the environment. I know what the naturalistic fallacy, but can you explain why you're brin...

I guess I don't agree that profit itself is bad. What's dangerous is when some people have the leverage of monopoly to impose their will on everyone else. Without that centralization, you still have ...

Today I came across the term “Naturalistic Fallacy” which I think fits perfectly to what I wanted to respond regarding competition in nature vs competition in human built systems.

It states that just because something is a certain way in nature, doesn’t mean it ought to be that way in human morality.

AI Vibe Coding will change because :

Why do I have to sit and wait or watch the code writing to finish ?

Ideas don’t come when sitting infront of computer screen.

Vibe coding doesn’t need to be like a phone call or like “online” on whatsapp where exchange is instantaneous.

It can be more like Email or Social Media, where I post or leave a comment and the end user responds when they have something to add, ask or offer.

So, I guess it will be a Mature AI Vibe Assistant - MAIVA 😅 ( My attempt at coining a viral term I guess 🙈 )

So, Maiva is one that is not always so eager to help instantly as it knows it is prone to mistakes and it knows ideas or thoughts change and take time to mature to turn into something useful.

It listens and it reads you. It collects all your thoughts and works silently in the background, to bring to you things you might like (because it was cooked based on your ideas). It patiently waits for your comments like you comment on social media - to understand your thoughts even more, to understand what you value, to make it better next time.

So, Vibe coding using CLI will be gone in 2026 I feel and Maiva might be the way forward.

Digitizing your ideas and thoughts will be key to get most out of this and so Wearables like Smart rings that allow audio recording for idea captures will shine.

NOSTR and Bluesky are the future due to AI. Just look at how AI’s are trained - on a lot of data (Got legally or illegally) and AI’s are here to stay. So whichever platforms make it easier for data access to build something on top of it will thrive in the age of AI.

Builders of Big AI needed data, they got it by hook or crook, and they are growing. Meaning, getting data is being normalised. Value is also being seen in it. So platforms that make this process easy, safe and legal will stay.

Soon access to smaller open source models that can run locally will rise. Then I would want my own app with maybe posts from bluesky, nostr, youtube, blogs all curated for me in just one app for me. This is only possible when platforms make it easy to curate and only those will live on!

Also all my scattered thoughts and ideas will be picked up by my local AI and made into good consumable content which then I want to post on all platforms using my own App and so platforms that make it easy to post via APIs will win.

NOSTR’s vision is becoming a reality. We all put content into this Commons database via different apps and consume content via different apps too. NOSTR & Bluesky are coming for all other “data” colonizers ! And AI has only accelerated this.
