"Humanoid robotics is becoming popular post DeepSeek for mostly kind of shallow and commercial reasons where people are like, 'Well, if there's no software, what can we invest in?'"
“The economic and value of increasingly powerful — and increasingly generally intelligent — AI has become clear both to major socioeconomic actors and to everyday people.”
"The generality of intelligence is a gradation, not a binary distinction... even the smartest reasoning LLMs don't have a level of generality that a human does."
"I think having a humanoid robot as one of the embodiments of your in-development proto AGI... can be valuable for building out its knowledge base and its value system."
"We’re not the only ones to think about decentralised AI — projects like Fetch.ai and Ocean Protocol were also exploring these concepts in 2017-18."
"We’re building a decentralised AI infrastructure where AI systems are deployed across different nodes, communicating with each other, running on a constellation of machines that can be owned and controlled by different people."
"SingularityNET is somewhat unsexily described as a middleware layer between the hardware and AI systems, aiming to provide an alternative to deploying AI algorithms on centralised clouds like AWS or Azure."
"The ASI chain, launching later this summer, is the first layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for decentralised AGI, with the smart contract language Meta, the same AGI programming language we've developed."
“We will develop interoperable synthetic realities (virtual worlds) able to support sentience. Some uploads will choose to live in virtual worlds. The divide between physical and synthetic realities will blur, then disappear.”
"With our team at ASI alliance... we are the biggest AGI effort outside of big tech, exploring a broader variety of AI algorithms and cognitive algorithms."
"In 2017, we launched the AGI token, and since then we’ve been building out decentralised AI infrastructure in parallel with developing concrete AGI systems like Hyperon."
"The ASI Alliance is an unusual merger where different organisations like Singularity, Fetch, Ocean, and Cudos remain distinct but merged their tokens into one, now called the ASI token for artificial super intelligence."
“Spacetime engineering and future magic will permit achieving, by scientific means, most of the promises of religions -- and many amazing things that no human religion ever dreamed of. Eventually we will be able to resurrect the dead by "copying them to the future".
“The core challenge we face today is to guide the development of advanced AGI in a beneficial direction — beneficial for humans and also for other sentient beings, including the animals and plants on the planet today and the new life-forms that will emerge in the AGI era.”
