Building a community-first artificial general intelligence
I'm building an artificial general intelligence that will be will developed, managed and controlled by a decentralized community. Its name will be Steve Care.
In the last few months, artificial intelligence (AI) has been the focus in technology investors. Right now, OpenAI seems to lead the way with its natural language processing AI called ChatGPT.
Every big corporation is trying to compete in their own niche. They are each trying to create an AI that will automate a single business line or functionality. Most of them use data from their other platforms in order to train their models.
The problem resides in the fact that their current platforms, from which their data is coming from, is actually people using their platform. Therefore, that data comes from the interaction of humans on their platform. I personally believe that the people generating the data from their interactions should be the owner of that data, not the company that hosts and own the platform.
For that reason, I decided to build an ecosystem that will be built, hosted, processed, managed and maintained by normal people. That way, once we reach our goal of creating an AGI, people will own it and humanity will grow from its usefulness.
But the task at hand is immense: nobody has built an AGI so far. Some people think that it will first come from big corporations because of their immense amount of resources at hand. I personally believe that its going to be built by the community and the progress of this project will prove it.
In order to successfully build such a project, I need to separate it in small quickly-achievable milestones. Each milestone needs to contain its own ecosystem, have its own community and be easily linkable. Also, each milestone must also contain its own source of revenue, with its own sales funnels and communication channels and all that data must be open and transparent.
Therefore, every time we release a milestone, the revenue of the ecosystem will grow, some of it will be funneled back into our ecosystem to build the next layer and make the ecosystem grow. Every time it grows, it will contain more data, we’ll be able to train more models with that data in order to create specific AI and at one point, we’ll be able to build an AI that compose the specific intelligences in order to build an AGI targetted at the specific needs of each human.
But first thing first. We need to kick start the founding blocks of our ecosystem. That first block must be a software that easily manipulate data because the whole ecosystem needs to consume, analyze, transform and store data. We will call that project “bytescript“.
The bytescript project also needs a way for people to easily search for data “recipes“ and consume them, then allow others to create those recipes while re-using the work of others without having to learn too much or create meetings to understand the work of others.
