    Ai Read_006 - How (Actually) Open AI Wins

    "As I see it, humanity is at a turning point where we must either embrace a small handful of totalitarian super intelligences or move AI to the edge, allowing a wide diversity of machine intelligences to flourish in cooperation with an equally diverse set of human intelligences, forming a truly decentralized hivemind. Fortunately, there’s mounting evidence that open source models will be the ultimate winners."

    ~Hivemind Ventures



    Our read from HiveMind Ventures today argues that the future of AI development hinges on embracing open-source models and decentralization to counteract the monopolistic tendencies of large corporations and governments. What if we already have the tools and foundations to create a genuine decentralized hivemind of human and artificial intelligences that change how we organize and progress. What if these tools are right under our nose, today? Would you want to know what they are?

    Ai Read_005 - Here Lies the Internet, Murdered By Generative Ai

    "All around the nation there are toddlers plunked down in front of iPads being subjected to synthetic runoff, deprived of human contact _even in the media they consume. There’s no other word but dystopian."

    ~ Mike Hoel



    What happens when the internet is so overrun with awful ai generated content, that it becomes too overwhelming to even find anything of value? And this is happening now, not in the future. What happens to a generation of toddlers who are watching incoherent, plotless, inhuman videos over and over again that are completely ai generated from beginning to end and are devoid of human meaning or depth of any kind? Millions of views on these videos poison the minds of kids all over the country while parents have no idea what the content actually is. Are we headed into a dystopia, and experiment with the minds of our children? And what on earth could we do to fix this? Find out in today's episode of Ai Unchained.

    "The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first."

    ~ Jim Morrison

    #019 - What if You Had a Personal Software Developer

    With the announcement of Devin, the "First AI Software Engineer" by Cognition Labs, some are calling it a breakthrough, while others aren't so impressed and believe other models can do largely the same thing. What is the unique difference that Devin brings to the table and does it have implications for the accessibility of coding and could it even suggest a change in direction for the future of software itself? Don't miss this fascinating topic in today's episode of Ai Unchained.
