🦖 Friends, our association, Hackathon Raptors, is pleased to announce the launch of not one but two hackathons aimed at solving socially important problems. 🌟 We invited experts from leading technology companies — Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia — to judge the hackathons. So, the next hackathons: INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL GAME FOR [SECRET] $%^&ING [1] In honor of the legendary Alan Turing, we will hold a hackathon to create a prototype of a web game. We decided to pay tribute to the pioneer of computer technologies. We encrypted the hackathon theme with the help of an Enigma, the code Alan Turing helped decipher! Applications for participation will be accepted until June 23. MENTAL WELLNESS SUPPORT AI CHATBOT 2024 [2] One of our association's core missions is to address socially important problems. That's why we've chosen mental wellness as the theme of one of our hackathons. Technology can be a game-changer in maintaining a stable psychological background and accessing the support you need. This is your chance to make a real difference. Applications for this hackathon will be accepted until June 27. 🏆 The finalists of both hackathons will receive a cash award and other perks from sponsors! Help us spread the word about these exciting hackathons! If you know someone who would be interested, please SHARE this post. Let's make these events a huge success together!

Today I'm thrilled to share our new Technology Association of Georgia Impact Report. There has never been a more exciting time to be part of Georgia’s technology industry, and this report demonstrates why Georgia continues to be the #1 state to do business in. Since our founding in 1998, TAG has made great strides to provide our members with some of the best resources available to both working and aspiring technologists. We are building our ecosystem together. And by 2033, we are projected to create another 100,000 jobs in technology, bringing that number to nearly 450,000 full-time tech employees in Georgia. I am so excited about the future as I continue to see Georgia at the forefront of creating technologies and innovation that will drive our economy and create new companies. In this Impact Report, learn more about all our TAG programs, our 18 different societies, and how you can get more involved. We’re helping reskill and upskill Georgia’s workforce through our programs at TAG-Ed and Bridge Builders – and the opportunities are truly limitless. I look forward to seeing the future impact we make in our next 25 years together building Georgia's tech ecosystem. And thank you to Arketi Group for their continuous support to help tell TAG's story.

Web3 isn't rocket science. It's worse. Rockets follow predictable laws of physics. But Web3? We're making it up as we go. And that's the ugly truth about our industry. We're so caught up in our echo chamber of brilliance that we've forgotten how to speak humanely. EIP-this, SVM-that, fragmentation, account abstraction – it's a symphony of syllables that means nothing to the average person. We're building the future but terrible at inviting others to join us. The truth is: Web3 isn't failing because the tech isn't ready. It's failing because we've forgotten who we're building for. Your average user doesn't care about EIPs or SVMs. - They care about solving real problems. - They want to send money without fees. - They want to own their digital assets. - They want financial freedom. I've seen startups crumble because they couldn't explain their groundbreaking tech to investors who weren't knee-deep in code. I've watched promising projects fail to gain traction because their messaging wasn't as clear as mud to potential users. Listen… Your innovation is only as powerful as your ability to communicate it. Speak your customer’s language. Paint pictures with your words. Make them see, hear, feel, and understand your vision. Remember, the next billion users won't come from crypto conferences. They'll come from Main Street, not Wall Street. What's the biggest communication challenge you face when explaining your Web3 project? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Need help turning your tech talk into a story that captivates? I'm offering a free 30-minute consultation to Web3 founders who need help crafting their message. Let's bridge the gap between your brilliant ideas and the people who need them.

Hackathon Recap: My Journey with Team David.01 Last weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Hackfestival in Mannheim, where my team and I worked on the exciting "Smart LLM Selector" challenge presented by KION Group. Although we didn't win, the experience was invaluable, and I walked away with new skills, insights, and connections. Our challenge? Creating a smart system to efficiently route requests to different LLMs based on prompt complexity, all while being mindful of energy efficiency. Our Solution Explained : 1. Synthetic Data Generation with LLMs: We tackled a common challenge: generating high-quality, diverse, and privacy-compliant data. By using Gemini Pro 1.5, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and ChatGPT-4, we generated synthetic data while balancing model biases and ensuring diversity in the task descriptions. 2. Task & Complexity Identification with BERT: To classify and route prompts based on complexity and task type, we incorporated BERT embeddings. This helped us break down a request into its task type (e.g., computer vision or NLP), sub-task type, and its complexity level (low, medium, high). 3. Deep Learning Training on Google Cloud: Our team successfully trained deep learning models on Google Cloud's GPUs. This allowed us to improve model performance and responsiveness when handling prompt classifications in real-time. 4. CodeCarbon for Environmental Impact: We implemented CodeCarbon to track our model's carbon footprint, ensuring that our solution aligned with KION's focus on energy efficiency. This feature highlighted the sustainability aspect of AI, helping us evaluate the trade-offs between model accuracy and environmental impact. Attached is the MVP of the product we managed to deliver during the hackathon. It showcases how the Smart LLM Selector classifies prompts based on complexity and task type, routing them to the most suitable model while considering energy efficiency. A big shoutout to my team for their dedication and creativity! Alex Zaznobin Chih-Yen Ou Kaamil Ahmed Kaleem Thank you to the KION Group team for your detailed feedback, mentorship, and the opportunity to work on such a meaningful challenge. Your guidance helped us refine our solution, and your emphasis on energy efficiency made us rethink AI's environmental impact. Marc Wittmann, Jian Guo , Tim Woronkow, Thomas Kuehne, Martin Meiringer Special thanks to The Hackathon Company for organizing such a well-executed event and creating a space where innovation thrives. It was a weekend full of learning, collaboration, and lots of fun.

I have an exciting announcement! I finally recovered from my Web3 hangover. It took me almost an entire year. Worst hangover ever. Web3 was wild! -Met lots of liars -Met lots of cheaters -Met lots of cash grabbers Fun fact: Actually have an entire chapter in my book The Future of Community about it. Also met some amazing people. So super thankful to have met them. It’s a small group of us still left. -People with ethics -People with morals -People with integrity -People looking to build the right way I wasn’t sure on the path forward. But I now I have a plan. I didn’t want to just hop on the next hot trend like AI. Without carefully thinking though my path. I’ve started to align myself with: -Top AI thought leaders -Top AI venture capitalists -Top AI executives like Brian Evergreen I reinvented my career in the Web3 space by building community. I plan to do the same thing in AI space. I want to be one of those guides: -Building new AI communities -Building an inclusive AI future -Building a new path forward to solve real problems Stay tuned for my next chapter. The technology may have changed but the mission remains the same. Let’s all win together!
