I want the AI dev club to provide more value to you all, and to help you bring your projects to life. Courses are fine and all, but personalized help can go a long way. Enter, QA calls every Saturday at 2:00 PM, Pacific Time! If you have a project you're building, a question about prompting or training or datagen, or you just want to hang out, this will be a great chance to get ahead! I'm scheduling the first such call for July 6th. It'll likely be a zoom call. I hope to see you there! Let me know what you think of this initiative, too. Also, we're at 18 members after like our first week, which is really awesome! Glad you're all here 🙂

I propose the hypothesis that the foundation for creating a cognitive system that can think and act autonomously is to develop and maintain an "Awareness" of the current situation/environment. A model which iteratively processes this awareness and uses it to make executive decisions should (in theory) be able to simulate a rudimentary form of 'consciousness'. Defining what Awareness means in this context and developing a means of generating and updating that Awareness is the first step in the process.

Welcome to the AI Developers Club! I'm happy you're here in this high-SNR, developers-focused AI group. Here, in addition to talking about the cool stuff we're building, we help each other resolve tough problems — dependencies, OOMs, bad/no documentation, obscure bugs, scraping woes, you name it. We shouldn't have to bleed time, just because we use cutting-edge technology. This place is meant to be practical, tactical, and authentic. Focused on code and development, over "AI tools" and buzzwords. I hope you enjoy learning, sharing, and meeing cool people here! Please introduce yourself in the comments below — here are some starter questions if you want some, uh, *prompting*. Ha. - What are you building/investigating with AI right now? - What part of AI do you want to learn about the most? - What do you use AI for most in your work/life? I love to see people talking about the cool stuff they're building. Please share your project by posting about it! And maybe introduce yourself too? Once you share your passion, consider saying 'hi' to one or two people in the comments 🙂

I'm going to be working on growing this group, and also adding more AI courses, into the future. Obviously the current open-source LLM course's polish and reference materials come first -- but I'm curious to hear about what you'd like next, in terms of content. Cast your vote or comment here!
