Our Theses
The value of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is solely derived from the inherent value of human life.
We can satisfy the human need for connection without having that connection become the harvesting of our ideas, thoughts, intellect, and sapience for the training of deep neural networks.
A human being has the right not to be scraped and has rights to have alternatives to the current regime.
As AI models and those that own and control them compete, the relative differences between them will become exponential, and ever deeper sapience and insight are needed - and this protocol exists to protect the value of the deepest levels of human insight and breakthrough, as well as all human knowledge and data from here on.
Decentralized technologies such as blockchain are a platform to enable such a needed layer to exist.
The more the world uses a single model or even schema of assumptions deployed in AI, the more deterministic the world becomes.
Decentralized control of, access to, and transparency of AI is important for human flourishing.
As pen and paper are prosthetic memory, computation is prosthetic execution, and networking is prosthetic presence, Deep Learning (DL) is prosthetic decision-making and thinking.
The value of humanity is on both sides of the equation, deeper insight for how to construct models for different and general use cases can be incentivized in an open, more accessible, and permissionless way.
Any single moment a human being has to endure an AI ‘correcting’ their thinking is theft - often at the hands of other humans.
A model is mostly practically and economically useful if it has relevant information for the present. As time goes on, the relevance and usefulness of a model depend on constant supply of relevant information - that is - contemporaneous information and insight as well as from the past that was not known to the person engaging with the model. This is one of the most key value points brought by AI/ML/LLM’s. This information, and especially deep insight, can be chosen to be withheld, or able to be accessed at a price desired by the human it originated from, at any time.
Model/schema/deployment agnostic
Scientific research and theoretics are often the springboard for deeper technological progress, but there is a nuanced and beautiful relationship that human creativity plays a part, in this symbiotic relationship of breakthrough with theory and observation.
Decentralizing the genesis, direction, and access to AI as well as the application thereof (including, but not limited to, LLM’s) is of utmost importance
Instead of compiling and gatekeeping the world’s information and insight, which leads to unilateral worldwide control, we are in a decentralized way enabling a whole new era of information from the ground up that enables sovereignty and transparent access to this information.
