🟠 Had a great moment at @ycombinator this week together with Jeff! Plenty in motion at @hubxyz, and we’re looking forward to revealing what’s next. Bridges are forming across the Bay Area with organizations, researchers, and accelerators as we prepare to open new data frontiers. There’s no better place to build the future of AI infrastructure.

@hubxyz 💪

AI models are eating faster than the internet can grow Epoch AI published one of the most important papers in the AI industry. They estimated the total stock of quality human-generated text at ~300 trillion tokens, and projected an 80% probability that frontier models exhaust it between 2026 and 2032. We are inside that window now. But the real crisis is worse than the paper predicted. The supply isn't just finite. It's shrinking. Over 74% of newly created web pages now contain AI-generated text. The internet is being contaminated by the very models it trained. Every generation of AI pollutes the training data for the next one. The industry tried synthetic data as a fix. The research killed that idea. Models trained on their own outputs degrade. They lose the nuance and variability that made human data valuable. Without real human data as an anchor, quality collapses. Meanwhile, training costs keep climbing. GPT-4 cost ~$40M. The current generation is approaching $1B. The next: $10B+. Every dollar spent scaling compute accelerates the depletion of the data these models depend on. Ilya Sutskever said it at NeurIPS: "We've achieved peak data. There's only one internet." And that's just text. The industry is shifting multimodal. Models now need real-world audio across hundreds of languages. Real images from real environments. Real video from natural conditions. That data doesn't live on the internet. It hasn't been collected yet. The race for compute is solved by capital. The race for data has no equivalent solution. You can't manufacture more internet. You can't synthesize what doesn't exist. And you can't scrape what was never captured. This is what @hubxyz is building. The data AI needs next doesn't exist online. It exists in the real world. And someone has to go collect it

@hubxyz The pipeline opens soon. Early access running now 👨‍💻

AI companies spend billions acquiring training data 5 billion people carry cameras and microphones in their pockets Nobody connected the two Until now We built a new platform where anyone with a phone can collect real-world data for AI and earn from it. A student in Manila recording how Tagalog sounds on a crowded bus. A mother in Lagos photographing the objects on her kitchen table. A woman in Bogotá capturing how afternoon light falls through her window. Real images. Real audio. Real environments. From 190+ countries. Data that no AI company can buy from any provider today because it does not exist yet. Hub already delivers structured training data to companies building the next generation of AI models. Now we are opening the supply side to the world. The people left behind by the economy just became its most valuable participants. The first tasks are live. The first contributors are already earning inside our Discord. This is not a test. This is the beginning. The full public launch is coming.

@bc1beat @openclaw @grok Dope !!

ClawRouter for @openclaw reach 2000 stars🌟 within 7d launch. We shipped 5 fixes in the last 24 hrs: • New /v1/responses endpoint for @Grok • Fixed nested output parsing • Real usage stats now visible on /stats • Free GPT 120B fallback AlwaysOn • Free GPT 120B with shortcut /model free github.com/BlockRunAI/Cla… All live on @BlockRunAI.

@datainetwork @AgnoAgi Team can't stop cooking 🔥

Part two of our partnership with @AgnoAgi is here. We are planning to co-build the Web3 data layer so agents built with Agno can access real on-chain intelligence seamlessly.

@hubxyz Relaunching a 3rd one

@hubxyz Technical issue - We're relaunching the space

@masommerf @hubxyz @zastrahub Thank you!

@hubxyz @tim404x @zastrahub Only brilliant minds!

@hubxyz @zastrahub Looking forward to this, bring the real questions

@heiscaleb2 🙌

@tim404x let's go.

@Eshclips See you inside Discord

@tim404x yep....let's try to join

@adeshinawebdrop We're building something real. You'll see 🧑‍🍳

@tim404x I don't know why But I have a strong conviction on hub I hope my conviction is true

@Icea75 You know what's coming

@tim404x 😉

@hubxyz Exactly

@tim404x Hardening now. Flying later

@hubxyz Merry Christmas to everyone Onward and upward

🎄 Merry Christmas from Hub Thank you to our community, backers and partners for contributing and helping us raise the bar this year. Now it’s time to take a break to enjoy the moment. Then we keep building. Bonus: reply with your most creative Hub Christmas visual. 5 winners get 5,000 IQ Points each

@fabric_vc @base @coinbase @LataPersson @_clemens__ [c]ook 🔥

We joined @base at the @coinbase UK office for an update on the R[3]sidency. Fabric R[3]sidency Lead @LataPersson & Base EU/UK Country Lead @_clemens__ covered: 🟠 Selection progress 🟠 Standout themes from ~1,000 applications 🟠 Early market + builder signals 🟠 Founder profiles we’re excited about Watch the full conversation 📺👇

@hubxyz 💪

🚧 The AI industry has a $100 billion bottleneck that NVIDIA cannot fix We’re tackling the industry’s biggest problem: access to public web data. It doesn’t matter how much computing power you wield if you don’t have the numbers to calculate the right equation. Hub unlocks the gate to the internet by turning idle connections into a real-time data pipeline for model training. And the best part is: it rewards every single contributor fairly and transparently.

@ParsaTajik @xai yo drive slower on page mill rd

Last night I left the @xai office after ~36 hours of working with no sleep. Although I was dead, I was also super energized. Incredibly grateful to be a part of this team. Happy thanksgiving!

@yunta_tsai page mill is empty af but we cook

Palo Alto is a ghost town on Thanksgiving but we are still grinding — to save more lives and humanity.
