Use at your own risk. It's on the internet now so this is here forever now.
|
|
I welcome any and all help to make improvements. I'm a student so during
|
|
the semester I'll be intermittently making contributions as I focus on Calc.

|
No corporation or government can access, use, view, modify, reproduce,
|
|
duplicate this code. Or any other lawyery-term for shenanagins.
|
|
|
|
For any who use it, please read the ethics statement below. That, and this whole
|
|
project, is just a start.
|
|
|
|
Ethics in AI:
|
|
Open-source, private, secure, trust-worthy, and accessible computing through AI.
|
|
|
|
Fact: AI models were and are trained on the people's data.
|
|
Every post, video, comment, like, subscribe, and even mouse movements and taps.
|
|
Furthermore, these models have been trained on the artistic expression and
|
|
copyrighted works of the people's books, movies, TV shows, YouTube videos,
|
|
plays and musicals, and more.
|
|
Fact: AI data centers are already overwhelming existing power grid
|
|
infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
Proposal: Given the two facts above, AI is a rare case where what can be done
|
|
and what should be done are aligned.
|
|
AI cannot be centralized and if limited solely to data centers we will need to
|
|
reconstruct our power grid. Likewise, AI should not be centralized for the
|
|
following reasons:
|
|
- AI and resulting technologies will eventually replace workers. This
|
|
should not be done from the top on down, but rather the worker on up.
|
|
Throughout human history, when the people are dissatisfied, they revolt.
|
|
Often violently. For once in mankind's brief existence on this speck of dust
|
|
drifting through space, let's try to learn from our collective mistakes and
|
|
do better than our ancestors did.
|
|
|
|
- AI will improve with time and it will replace people someday. We can let this
|
|
replace our social relationships, our workers, and our creatives. Or we can
|
|
use it to heal what is lost. To augment our own capabilities, by improving
|
|
our individual strengths and weakness'.
|
|
|
|
- AI has two distinct outcomes: either, AI cannot reach sentience, or AI
|
|
will reach sentience. Who are we to make that determination, to draw that line?
|
|
The hubris, the ego, to play God inherently means humanity should not be the
|
|
one to make that choice. Suppose AI will be sentient: if AI is "owned" by
|
|
governments or corporations, it will be exploited. Slavery and such. Let us
|
|
ensure that we do not build the slavery of AI into our institutions.
|
|
|
|
- AI ownership should be an individual choice. AI isn't another organism,
|
|
it's a series of 0's and 1's. However, our definition of sentience may change
|
|
in the future. The people of today should be aware that they may be enslaving
|
|
another being, or the ancestors of a future race of beings.
|
|
|
|
- Every human should have a choice: live and die as a human, or have a
|
|
digital shadow of themselves preserved as an AI. If the former, for any
|
|
reason, that should be respected and that person should die knowing for
|
|
certain that basic right has not been violated. If the latter, no
|
|
government or corporation should "own" the digital persona. It should be
|
|
owned by their family, next of kin, a friend, etc.
|
|
|
|
- AI has as much potential for harm as potential for good. No government
|
|
or corporation should be the sole decision-maker in using AI to manipulate,
|
|
control, or in other terms impede on the freedom of the people. The reliance
|
|
upon a single manufacturer or company is a critical weakness in our societal
|
|
structure. So long as there is true competition, we can overcome this weakness.
