A look at the trademark dispute over the name AGI House between two rival hacker houses, one in Hillsborough and the other in Twin Peaks in the Bay Area
to centralize power & capital. SF wants AGI Houses to blossom across the world to usher in the global intelligence age. Noah Smith / @noahpinion : This explains why whenever anyone asks me if I know AGI House, I get the location wrong Andrew Côté / @andercot : I recently quit my job in fusion to start my own company, and the legendary @JvNixon extended an offer to come stay in @AGIHouseSF - it is so clearly the beating heart of the AI Revolution in SF, with an unmatched and unparalleled density of talent. Some first impressions: [image] Brett Goldstein / @thatguybg : there was a launch house in ohio that was also really mad at us for using their name like the AGI Houses when i found out their founder had the same last name as me, I called him up and we settled things Goldstein to Goldstein it's that simple guys Garry Tan / @garrytan : The SF one is the real one guys duh @beyang : Here's how we'll know: take the sergey brin boobsuit man and place him at a point equidistant from both houses. Whichever one he walks toward is the True AGI House. But if he sees his own shadow before taking a step, there will be 10 more years of AI winter. @andrewwhite01 : Broke: Drake vs Kendrick Lamar Woke: AGI House vs AGI House SF @basedbeffjezos : Team AGI house SF 🫡🚀🤘 [image] Hussein Kanji / @hkanji : Two rival hacker houses, both claiming the name “AGI House,” have attracted the attention of Silicon Valley's biggest names. Now, their estranged owners are fighting to unseat one another in a brutal battle for supremacy. https://www.forbes.com/... Rat King / @mikeisaac : now they need to drop diss tracks Sarah Emerson / @sarahnemerson : Crisis at Silicon Valley's favorite AI hacker house! AGI House has courted patrons like Sergey Brin, Eric Schmidt, OpenAI, Grimes... But a city scandal and bitter rivalry between its founders has all but broken it apart.
