Spent years waiting for the AI scene to “arrive” in 🇸🇬.
AIE made me realize that’s the wrong way to see it.
Models and tools are good enough. The problem is us.
Stop waiting for permission, perfect conditions, or the right scene.
I need to start building what matters to me.

@dariustan_ @swyx @picocreator @VivianBala @jgeewax @GeoffreyHuntley @Gavriel_Cohen @agrimsingh @65labslah @aiDotEngineer read the whole post out here in germany (moved here 7 years ago) and love the quote from the conf "you are the scene"
if i'm coming back to singapore, being part of the scene will be directive #1. the force is stronger by the day there

Top-1 technical talk for me was the agentic inference systems talk by @zwuvincent from @MiniMax_AI. Had some similar ideas too!
Consolidated notes across the main track days, with favourite talks highlighted at the top here:

Wrote up my Day 1 notes from @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 below.
I usually think more about the systems behind the API: models, optimizations, deployment, infra. Today was a good look at the other side: agents, tools, evals, traces, and feedback loops.
Looking forward to Day 2!

recommended reading. strongly recommended reading.
i really like the pain avoidance angle. slots into my "paon/friction is when you learn" angle. when combined > cognitive debt.
