Big tech won't save us, and the government can't keep up. If you want a future where AI is safer, faster, and greener, you have to build it yourself. Kwaai is a volunteer-driven, open-source movement. Learn more at kwaai.ai/ #kwaai #kwaai #OpenSourceAI #TechEthics
Our brains struggle with precise counting when numbers are close. The ratio effect—how close numbers are—dictates our accuracy and speed, not just for humans, but for animals too. It's a shared mechanism revealing how quantity is processed. #CognitiveScience #RatioEffect #kwaai
Understanding AI requires looking under the hood. Just like testing animal intelligence, we need to move beyond simple prompts and examine model activations and checkpoints. Real progress in AI safety depends on independent, verifiable research. #AISafety #MachineLearning
Our brains process quantity based on ratios, not exact counts. When the margin between two numbers shrinks, decision-making slows and error rates climb—a pattern shared across the animal kingdom. #Learn more at kwaai.ai/ #kwaai #CognitiveScience #Psychology
