Toronto Accelerationists Presentation

Meetup Intro

• I like building things
• But I procrastinate and get distracted
• Having to demo something forces oneself to actually deliver
• It's usually a good idea to build Software for people beyond yourself
• It's cool to get inspired and inspire others

What count's as a Demo?

• Personal Project
• Review an Open Source Project you Used
• A tutorial you followed though and produced something from
• A tour of your Homelab
• Something that inspires you

Intros

• What's your name
• What technical skill do you want to learn
• What is your favorite software
• What do you want to build

Demo Time

• Start with a README, and read the description OUT LOUD
• What problem are you trying to solve?
• What tools are you using to solve that problem?
• What's next for this project?
• What is the happy path, user journey you dream of following?

• Questions

• How can we in the audience help you solve the problem?

• What problems are you facing?

Outline

• What are LLMs (Large Language Model)
• What is a Vector
• What is an Embedding
• What is a Vector Database
• Text Chunking
• What is RAG

My Answer

• Paul Mullins
• What do you use AI for already
  • Replaced Stack overflow
  • Use Recipes
  • Summarize PDF documents
• What do you want to use AI for
  • Quiz me on the media I consume
  • Ingest data into a knowledge graph

• What do I want to build

  • The Daemon

• What is this space?

• What is this Group?
  • e/acc Effective Accelerationisim is a reaction to effective altruism
  • Let's walk confidently into the future rather than trying to regulate everything because we are scared. AI may have growing pains, but so did the industrial revolution.
  • Accelerationisim encourages Building, Using and Testing rather than regulating
  • I want to build stuff and to do that I need to learn
  • The best way to learn is by teaching
  • I want to inspire people to build stuff and in return have them inspire me
• What are we building?
  • Build Agents to read and talk about and compare text such as documents, books, and even social media information
• Introductions
  • What is your name?
  • What do you use AI for already?
  • What do we want to use AI for?
  • What do you want to build or are currently building?
• So Accelerationisim
  • What future do we want?
  • What do we want to do once we have ASI(Artificial Super Intelligence)?
  • Who here wants to live in a future like Star Trek?
  • If AGI is achieved what role should AI have in raising our children?
  • Should we give people basic income or a humanoid robot that can make money for them?
  • Do you want to live in the matrix but have control over your own simulation?
  • How do we avoid humanity becoming a parasite on the new sudo intelligent systems that will inherit the earth? Parasites survive off other organisms and therefore don't need complex organs like eyes, brains, and ears that are used to survive in a complex environment.
  • I encourage those interested to stay after the workshop to discuss this over some tea.

• Where are we Going?
  • LangChain on X: "💬"LangChain Tool Calling feature just changed everything" We recently added a common interface for tool calling across model providers This makes it easy to build agents that work across models Watch @EdenEmarco177 explain why this is a big deal https://t.co/Chr5ELTCsu https://t.co/nBJXq6lRKp" / X
  • MatthewBerman on X: "MASSIVE Step Allowing AI Agents To Control Computers (MacOS, Windows, Linux) OS World allows agents to fully control computers, including MacOS, Windows, and Linux. OS World can benchmark agent performance like never before by giving agents a language to describe actions in a https://t.co/4fK82oDHiO" / X
