OK I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED i could barely keep this a secret all week and it's finally official

MY HOME COUNTRY'S MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS (equiv to Secretary of State) IS A HUGE NANOCLAW FAN (check @VivianBala, that's really him, not an intern) AND WILL BE KEYNOTING @AIDOTENGINEER SINGAPORE (with NanoClaw creator @Gavriel_Cohen right after) NEXT WEEK

Usecases like his are what I have been hoping to promote with the international AIE partnerships and @agrimsingh and @SherryYanJiang crushed it with this one.

governments waking up to AI and joining @aiDotEngineer:

UK: Chief AI Officer
Singapore: Cabinet Minister

who's next??
