This man. He's basically the real life Anorak from Ready Player One. I've had many discussions and heard countless speeches on this topic. Never have I heard someone explain a probable pathway to AI that makes this much sense. He even creates a picture of AI that makes more sense. Numerous species? None of us would ever think of that until it actually happened.

Tbh, Goertzel is an unsung hero of AI development and our progression towards the singularity.

[@squamish4244]

He's remarkably grounded for the kind of savant and dreamer that he is. I trust him more than two of the other researchers who function as public faces of AI, Ray Kurzweil and Demis Hassabis. Kurzweil, at 71 years old, seems more disconnected from his humanity and freaked out by his mortality, which distorts his thinking. Hassabis doesn't seem nearly as interested in issues of control and decentralization. Neither seem that interested in coding morality, compassion etc. Meanwhile, Goertzel works with Buddhist meditators on coding and the refinement of his robot 'Sophia'. So yeah, among the current crop of 'faces of AI research', I would pick him.

If we decentralize AI away from military perspectives that serve the corporations and instead focus their attention on improving quality of living for animals and humans then we are creating an open cog network of peace, non duality and healing where the terminator situation will be only happening in absolute emergencies such as when psychopaths are trying to destroy living beings that's when the machines will intercept appropriately.

Although initially reserved for one blockchain, AGIX now has multi-chain compatibility. This means token holders can use it for transactions on various blockchains, including Cardano, Polygon, and Binance Smart Chain.

[@Mynestrone]

is there any way for a malicious actor to simply buy agix that way and then get entry to the main network? i really feel like he needs so so many more people working on safety. there are so many people that would try and wreck it just for fun. nevermind innocent people making mistakes.

[@Goomero]

truly we are the AI improving the AI

[@Kelvostrass]

In a nutshell: AI that is developed from competition will realise that taking players out of the game makes winning a lot easier for itself. Whereas, AI developed from cooperation will realise that by removing competition and bringing the players together as one, then everybody wins. That's why leaving AI development to governments and corporations is a bad idea, and why I support AGI :)

The only worry I would have is that his knowledge may be USED by corporations to exploit his work for their benefit.

[@User0resU-1]

@morgan great post, I agree our current values guarantee a dismal outcome. But I think you're a bit harsh on Ben. I've seen a couple of his interviews and although not glaringly explicit I felt he's thought deep and long about non-technical aspects of AI.

5 days ago in an AI seminar at my university I had a really really great heureka moment. For me it was THE breakthrough idea 1) to fulfill my wish to do something good for society and 2) have a flourishing business. What if I make an AI that’s open source and decentralised through the blockchain. I could earn money through fees for the access to the very blockchain while at the same time taking away the power of mega corporations. I could specialize this AI in optimizing supply chains for efficiency and sustainability. Hence doing something good for economy and environment. Now I had to learn that such things already exist? What should I do now? Can I help? Or should I start again with searching for some good start-up ideas/project ideas?

[@NathanielVargas]

The DAIA is an interesting concept, reminds me of something like Guru for AI. They can basically freelance, contributing to the larger good or be functional members of society. It is something that many people may deem as impossible but look at how far we have come today. We’re essentially talking about this being a possibility. That in itself should say something.
