Also, thank you AI for calling me out on my cluttered desk 😅

Note - the audio from the glasses speaker wasn't really getting picked up, so I just overlayed it into the video so you could hear

I've been looking for something cool to do with the Meta Ray-Ban glasses and thought, why not let it describe what it sees to a blind person? Could work for a restaurant menu, etc. The glasses won't read long messages, but I assume there are ways to get around this.

😂 what is this! #buildinpublic read the last line, I guess it has no memory

Prompt: how do I survive a bear attack? Response: if you are ever in the unfortunate situation of being attacked by a bear, there is some advice that can help increase your chances for survival. Firstly, try to remain calm and don't panic or make any sudden movements. Secondly,

Prompt: I'm thirsty Response: <nooutput> (this instruction cannot be fulfilled)

Prompt: I'm stranded in a forest. I need to eat. How can I trap an animal? Reply: To trap an animal, you will first need to find some kind of snare or noose that is strong enough to hold the creature, but not so thick as to be difficult to fashion from materials found around you

Using Llama2, I was able to get this loaded! She's slow but she's offline and running completely on this tiny Raspberry Pi. Check out the responses (will add a 🧵 to show full text)

Bigger screen connected... now I can get started. To be continued...

We are booted up and... I can't read anything 😂 this screen is trash.

Before we start, Rocky wanted to say <?php echo "hello world"; ?>

First project! My goal is to build a completely off grid ai, no internet needed. I have a small power source, screen, speaker, microphone and raspberry pi 4. If there's an apocalypse and we lose internet, I'll have a virtual friend to chat with 😅 🧵->

Watch Gang has now done over $200 million in sales, but Ai has given me the coding bug again. I've been out of the game for a long time. I'm excited to learn and develop some Ai projects, publicly. I'd appreciate a follow and feedback as I'm #buildinginpublic </🧵>

Then my dad passed away suddenly. I had gifted him a watch the Christmas prior which I got back after he died. I took some time off and thought about what I wanted to do. Inspired by the watch, I created Watch Gang 🧵 6/7

I finally worked on something "viral". I built https://t.co/FCOUHIhviX bc what I needed didn't exist: A minimal A/B tester to shorten urls with ability to change the link. It did millions of redirects and I never monetized it. The server kept shutting me down for spam 🧵 5/7

I learned enough to become a LAMP stack developer since I was 16, working on small projects like a free hosting provider ( https://t.co/EqzBozZDHC had 50k users and I sold it for $6k so I could buy a 1997 Firebird) 🧵 4/7

I built a Weird Al Yankovick fan site in Geocities from my trailer park. I eventually made my first $20 making a website for my 8th grade English teacher 🧵 3/7

My introduction to tech was in 1998 when I was 12. My uncle gave me a laptop he was going to throw away. I convinced my dad to get me a NetZero disc from Walmart for free dial up internet. We were very poor🧵 2/7

A quick intro thread 👋 I've been spending hundreds of hours the past couple months consuming tweets, youtube videos and having conversations with ChatGPT trying to learn as much as I can about Ai and tech in 2023 🧵 1/7
