AI is β€œcoming, ready or not!”, but what’s the best way to receive it? 
While Silicon Valley is awash with enthusiastically valued companies in a race to see who can boil the ocean first, could there be a better way to do this?

There have been plenty of eyebrow-raising failures:
πŸ€– Advice like β€œYou should eat at least one small rock per day”
πŸ€– Drawing pictures of people with too many fingers and eyes
πŸ€– Legal bots writing fan-fic instead of citing cases
πŸ€– Having an AI friend/therapist lead you into some dark places

On the bright side, the growing number and variety of local AI acceleration hardware devices along with things like the Open Source Initiative’s Open Source AI spec (https://opensource.org/ai). Maybe taking charge of our own AI development and use could lead to a brighter tomorrow?
