What is this? I can’t tell if it’s satire or serious or AI slop.
Serious

This guy claims they modeled the ultimate future for 3 years and figured it all out: they share startup ideas

Love it when Silicon Valley reinvents encyclopedias
The proposed project is a non profit, I don’t think it can be a for profit legally (it didn’t stop AI companies, though)

we did that and still do. people just don't buy encyclopedias that much nowadays
Imagine taking the whole Web, removing spam, duplicates, bad explanations
It will be the free new Wikipedia+ to learn anything in the best way possible, with the best graphs, interactive widgets, etc
What LLMs have for free but humans for some reason don’t
In some places it is possible to use copyrighted materials to educate if not directly for profit

A bit related: AI companies distilled the whole Web into LLMs to make computers smart, why humans can't do the same to make the best possible new Wikipedia with some copyrighted bits to make kids supersmart?
Why kids are worse than AI companies and have to bum around?)

The only way to prevent robots from being jailbroken and set to rob banks is to move GPUs to private SOTA secure GPU clouds

The topic-starter added a comment there:
"So, yep, I really wasn't even using my VPN that much recently - it's the same one I used for months.
And even bigger problem, of course, is - why just looking at my problem where a user with almost 1000 followers and a community that actively chats and spends a lot of time on X (usually, it's good for ad supported platforms).
So why even quite active paid users can't be checked in at least a day (I think it should be minutes but alas), why 5-7 days! ;-)"

Related: Interesting mockups to turn X/open source Bsky into direct democratic massive "prothetic" polls in each post.
And paid polls that the author claims will replace prediction markets:
>And with such a size, you have more compute than OpenAI and can train a frontier misaligned model or modify an open source one
That doesn't seem like a reasonable conclusion based on Open AI and leading lab expenditures. They need training data too, would one group actually be able to amass all of this? If you hijack 30 million random computers that's not as nearly as useful as 300K B200 GPUS for model training. Am I missing something?
It's a lot, but you're right that the more realistic scenario is just running an existing open source model - sadly those are trivial to misalign
So we better have SOTA clouds: people don't update computers for months and as Bredolab shows - their GPUs are up for grabs
Ideally and int. org. will do it but they are slow and countries don't cooperate enough, so a startup is more realistic
