I’m working on the vLLM user experience. I’m using computer vision techniques to understand the “context of consent”. The range of consensual “contexts” is represented by a range of angles considered “organic” and “desirable” by the user. Angles that the machine is most likely to label as “taken by the user and organic” or “taken by a third party and desireable”. A Thread 🧵

My father was a dentist who graduated from the USC Ostrow School of Dentistry in the 80’s. He chose to practice in South Central LA and had a love of computers. I spent many hours in the office with him. These are our moments.

I was born on Stocker and Crenshaw Blvd, right across the street from the Crenshaw mall in 1987. My dad moved our family to Palos Verdes in 92’ after the neighborhood turned on us. But he refused to move his dental practice.

I watched my father dedicate his best years to practicing general dentistry from Figueroa to Harvard and all the way to Crenshaw and back. So much of my childhood was lived driving down Manchester. My dad loves the hood, but the hood has not always loved us back.

My dad took me everywhere with him. I was his right hand for all the Dental conferences and post office runs. I spent my whole life in private practice and was excited to continue the legacy as a Medical Doctor. But something was missing…

I found that I didn’t have a passion for healthcare disparities or being the token black doctor for a 3rd generation. I didn’t feel the love from the Black community I was supposed to dedicate my life to serving. I needed a way out and tech provided my exits.

In order to evolve beyond crabs in a barrel someone needs to invest in Black fathers—EXCLUSIVELY. They don’t need half of your investment. They need you to go all in on them. I wouldn’t be here without my Black father. He encouraged me to always choose me.

Hi guys! My name is Nonye. I am an AI research artist who creates beautiful infographics to make trial and error learning less cognitively demanding for visual learners and misophonics. Check me out!

I am trying to create a vision for my future that accurately represents my childhood dreams and precisely accounts for the all of the imagery i need to be in the panoramic frame. Why am i so concerned with a perfect visual representation of my landscape? So what if i put alcatraz, the golden gate bridge and the painted ladies in the same frame as the trans America building. I am creating art. A rendering of the future I almost never had.

Once you get the monkeys off your back lazy evals and functional programming start to make sense. Type II procrastination will no longer ruin your half baked plans toward mediocre recursive self improvement. Take notes. Believe in cursor.

“Your computer will know who is prestigous in your eyes and buffer you from a demanding world”. I found this cartoon in a CHM newsletter. This is my animated rendering of agentic AI.

I totally understand why job seekers struggle to rebrand after hundreds of job rejections. It's f*n expensive. I designed dozens of resume templates for AI research and engineering career paths so you don’t have to. Check out my shop on buymeacoffee. Here you can purchase my signature PDF resume templates to help you land the tech job of your dreams.

When considering the safety of AI, I always reference blockchain technology because it helps ground my brain in this truth, “If a bunch of honest nodes have access to the best technology, even if we are behind, we should always still be “z” Mario blocks ahead.

My biggest challenge in product is knowing when to pull out digital tools and when to revert back to analog. Can you imagine trying to learn transformers without drawing any attention? Sometimes the pen tells truths that the cursor can’t catch.

Using AI To Make Diagrams and Schemas is Too Hard Hey everyone! Have you ever asked AI to help you visualize the flow of data across multiple GPUs? Were you impressed with the results or just more confused? After spending months learning about machines and reinforcement, I am convinced that AI should prioritize the generation of schemas, diagrams and charts to help people learn abstract concepts. I’m going to investigate the use of physical AI and latent spaces in diffusion models and how this technology can help us train machines to think abstractly but concrete. Stay tuned!

✌🏾 @GeminiApp and @NanoBanana helped me accept that a well polished AI image would do more for my branding than raw photos of my real life. I mean who wants to see that when they can see this

☝🏾 Bazaart helped me effortlessly design graphics to showcase my understanding of design thinking and vibes

My AGI Sputnik moment happened when I used: ☝🏾Manus to code, deploy and host a web app for me on mobile ✌🏾Claude to help me get a job in AI by Shawshanking my resume 🤞🏾Grok to imagine my life after homelessness and unemployment We have reached the singularity.
