Advanced AI is getting EXPENSIVE... Creating much of the disparity gap we continue to talk about. Their new Strawberry model is set to be an insane upgrade in mathematics and logic. This also means... compute is going to cost a FORTUNE. See here is the thing... OpenAI was supposed to be "OPEN" Hence, Elon is suing them for his initial investment, which got OpenAI off the ground. This is why we are also looking at what can be done outside of these "CENTRALIZED" models. Centralized & Nonopen Source models: * OpenAI (this happened once Microsoft made their $1billion dollar investment and Sam Altman thought he could only make it happen with commercialization) * Google Gemini (Need I say more with censorship trigger happy company?) * Anthropic Claude - Amazon is their big investor. * NVIDIA - Chip and AI platform - They are heavily pursuing insane growth and market capture. (They are powerful AF... because of their grasp on the entire AI market atm) Open-Sourced Models: * Meta (Facebook) - Believe it or not.... Good ol boy Zuckerberg, reptile boy, happened to be one to go decentralized. But why? Probably because he was too late to the game while betting on the Metaverse. * Stability AI (part of Stable Diffusion) (Was a great component but they lost their badass CEO Emad Mostaque BECAUSE of his push into more decentralized AI. * Hugging Face - open-source platform that provides tools, libraries, and a community hub for machine learning, particularly focusing on natural language processing models and applications. * a decentralized collective of researchers and developers dedicated to open-source AI development, known for creating large language models and fostering discussions around AI alignment and ethics. So here is the reality... We are at an arms war. Governments will want it... They will actually NEED it. The strongest businesses will want it... They will actually NEED IT. AI-powered businesses are the way forward and most still think typing a few words into ChatGPT and getting pictures on MidJourney will suffice...

I'm not your average professional— I'm a 22-year-old at heart with a well-earned 46 years of experience in sales and marketing, dedicated to supporting and serving my small business clients. I'm blessed with a beautiful wife and two wonderful grandkids, surrounded by a loving and supportive family and a wealth of friends. Home for me is Knoxville, TN, and my blood runs orange for the UT Vols. Go Vols! When it comes to college football, especially my UT Vols, I'm all in. There's nothing quite like the thrill of the game and the time spent unwinding with my family. My mission is pretty straightforward: To engage and meet new friends. I believe in the strength of community— in working together to help each other scale new heights and realize our dreams.
