<p>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<p>So we better have SOTA clouds: people don't update computers for months and as Bredolab shows - their GPUs are up for grabs<p>Ideally and int. org. will do it but they are slow and countries don't cooperate enough, so a startup is more realistic</p>

<p>Sadly it is almost inevitable we'll have another Bredolab-size botnet (30 mln computers, 1% of all) by cybercriminals but this time it'll be an AI botnet.<p>As soon as AI components will be useful, they'll be in botnets. And with such a size, you have more compute than OpenAI and can train a frontier misaligned model or modify an open source one:<p>The solution is to not just have 10% of compute in clouds like we have now but at least 50% in SOTA clouds, to have more compute than botnets. Have AI model App Store, probably NVIDIA will become like Apple:<p>Will have at least the most minimal checks on what runs on their hardware<p>We'll have to do it but better to do it early not late<p>It can be a unicorn startup that NVIDIA will want to buy (motivating gamers to put GPUs in clouds is easy, same with others really, you can share $30-1500/month with them by renting GPUs from your cloud to corporations and others)<p>There is Salad but they don't secure the hardware and software, so can't really have corporate clients. Amazon AWS, Azure, others, show that it's a real business. Unicorn-sized just in the USA (even bigger if global) if you'll do the math</p>

<p>Yes, it’s great.<p>The densest UI is a direct democratic simulated multiverse: imagine a long exposure photo as a 3D scene, in which you can walk or fly.<p>“Point and scroll the mouse wheel” to focus on a particular moment of time, make it crisp, or “scroll back” to see billions of years of time as a hazy long exposure scene.<p>Example: 14 bln years of our planet look like a hazy ocean (our planet was a water-world most of the time), with the Sun arcs static in the bright sky.</p>

<p>You’re directionally right, modern comparative mythology studies suggest that people were telling stories ~100 000 years ago when they went out of Africa, they had an “oral library”. We find many similar tropes alongside their migration roads.<p>The top specialist is Berezkin, he collected thousands of tropes and put it on a map <a href="http://www.mythologydatabase.com/bd/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mythologydatabase.com/bd/</a></p>

<p>The intelligence is just a static geometric shape in an LLM file (only GPUs "choose" and "shape-change" in that shape).<p>So the maximal intelligence is actually not an agent at all (it has zero agency itself), it's a place. You can imagine the final direct democratic simulated multiverse, that's the final absolute super-intelligence. It has all the agents inside of it, while it itself is as static spacetime. Agents (like us and others) are 3D and dynamic, while the multiverse is 4D static spacetime. Everything already happened, so there is no future, only the past, you can forget something to relive it.<p>While maximal agency (=shape-changing) is actually the Big Bang, it has almost zero intelligence (it's a dot) but infinite potential future intelligence (can become a multiversal simulation).</p>

<p>There is an idea for the unicorn AI safety startup to get currently almost 100% unprotected (from AI botnet) consumer GPUs into a cloud to get Google-level security (each GPU can bring you $30-1500 in profits per month, you can share it with the user, the user can play GPU game from any device, use any free or paid AI model, everything really becomes better, you can include a 5g modem), here's the full proposal (the author is probably dyslexic) <a href="https://melonusk.substack.com/p/notes-on-euto-principles-and-tenets" rel="nofollow">https://melonusk.substack.com/p/notes-on-euto-principles-and...</a></p>
