@tigran_iii It just means there's no way for someone to steal your idea, either you will do it and get the fame, glory and money, or someone else will do it, and you'll still get rich/status (which can be converted to money) because the idea is positive sum & participatory
@DefenderOfBasic Many experts point at the issues with current AI. The theory I propose may fix those but also improve education, communication, research, culture, and our interaction with nature to name a few. Indeed, "untapped value".
insight as position, insight production rate as velocity, then insight acceleration, then all the insights, all at once the only thing preventing penetrating insight, all the insight, in general, all at once, is infatuation with a specific insight they called this taking a bite out of the apple from the tree of knowledge. you could have the whole garden in general but you settle for a little bite out of a little apple of specificity. they say man fell from grace the moment he took interest
@michaelgarfield That's the core piece of ORI: you publish your research anywhere (twitter/substack/your own blog), and give it to ORI to index. When the breakthrough happens in mainstream, you can say "I got to it first, here's my receipts"
@michaelgarfield this should already be happening, but it's not because a lot of heterodox pioneers are bad at marketing & communication, and I'm here to fix that (they tend to get lost in a sea of people claiming to be pioneers but are just cranks)
Have you read Accelerando by Charles Stross? Ever since I read it in 2009 I've been inspired by the career of the character Manfred Macx, a "venture altruist" who uses his XR/AI "exocortex" (later "metacortex") to absorb terabytes of research every day, synthesize it, automate patent filing, and then select worthy beneficiaries of free licenses he can make rich for positive sum prosocial implementations, making no money directly himself (and thus escaping tax liability) while living in great affluence off their gratitude. Stross calls it "venture altruism" and it's been my target ever since.
@alegator_cs I was going to ask you if that reply you got from a math PhD was helpful (in what he'd want to see), I think when you're sitting on something that seems clearly valuable, it's a matter of learning to signal to the right people, finding the networks
@cavi_jointleman I would say you need to form your own models of reality, and test it continuously. Learn to be the arbiter of truth. Trust & follow your intuition https://t.co/EClign6Gwt
Maybe you and I should patent more of them and then not worry so much about who scoops the patents unless we disapprove. I've been thinking about this a lot lately in the context of "good parenting" — the winning iterated prisoner's dilemma strategy only works if you can defect sometimes, otherwise always-cooperate is just an invitation to defect.

a lot of people understandably trip over 'novel' and feel insecure about it bc - is there such a thing as a totally new idea? why can't i do that? how about this - imagine fashioning, with mostly existing materials, an object that nobody thought of. you rotate that and plug
@DefenderOfBasic If you learn how to have novel insights they really become a dime a dozen. It's a weird thing to have someone fawn over an interseting perspective you shared and it's just your takeaway from an internet rabbit hole you went down while you were procrastinating one day.
