Meta Prediction

Abstract

This is a prediction on AI and how it relates to the AutonomI network (previously known as the SAFE network). Some people will hate this, but I hope everyone at least takes notice.

Observation

AI/LLMs are here

AI or LLM or Neural nets are here. What is means, how close to AGI/SGI or whatever is irrelevant for this discussion.

We can talk to computers and they can talk back! We have a non biological partner, no matter how smart or dumb, that we can speak with. It’s here and getting better at communicating, better than any animal or other biological creature, it is communicating.

So with that behind us and no proclamation of advancement or doom, we are where we are. Things change from here, and change in dramatic ways. This we know.

Still we wish to define intelligence and consciousness etc. Not me. I just work with what I have and can see and interact with. It’s here.

This is coming in several forms, agentic, multi-modal, fine-tuned, RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), as well as differing model sizes and capabilities. The world is changing and that will not slow down.

Prediction

What we end up with, nobody knows, but what I strongly believe is:

• Direct hardware access will be their API, no OS level, not IOS not Android, but direct hardware access.
• Apps and browsers as we know them will be bypassed
• Possibly all, but at least most, human written code will be replaced by direct human to machine capabilities
• Files and directories or folders become antiques that only a select few refer to. Who wants to search manually through millions of files for knowledge when you can just ask
• Humanoid robots will enable the physical world to be an extension of our computer and likewise, controlled by us via our AI. Essentially, we all have not only computer and knowledge skills, but these extend to the physical world.

Ok, that’s actually a lot and each item could be a massive post on its own, here we need speed and clarity, not pontification and back rubbing.

Effect on AutonomI

These changes to our computer interaction move the goalposts for sure. Rather than storing just any data and creating file structures, web sites, browsers and so on, Autonomi, must now protect humanity directly by protecting our own personal AI.

Centrally controlled AI is obviously evil, same with robotic control. The intimate relationships we will all have with our data/knowledge/AI must be protected and that means secure private and personal to each human, regardless of where you are and how you connect, using whatever device. This part is vital and without it society will struggle to maintain individuality. That individuality is how we evolve and innovate, in fact it is how we live. Losing that could lose all of us.

This is Autonomi’s greatest offering. The ability to secure and make available your AI conversations.

Which models will Autonomi provide?

The network should make any locally runnable open source model available to every person on the planet. It can take the human conversations and store them securely, ensuring only you have access to them. These are your property and private thoughts. They must travel with you and be available from anywhere, only to you.

Agents

Agents are perhaps the most simple and most powerful of all todays software tools. They are not understood my most, but represent a massive opportunity for us all.

An agent is basically a set of configurations we apply to an LLM to focus it on a specialised task. For instance we can have agents that represent

• CEO
• Software Developer
• Software Q/A
• Software tester
• Web site builder
• Customer support

What we do is simply supply basic information to make this happen. This info can be as simple as

{
Name: CEO
Skill: Build teams and have final say on deliverables
BackStory: You are a CEO of a sucessful sofware company ...
LLM: <any LLM we wish goes here>
}

This small piece of text is all we need to create an agent. Some LLMs may be tuned for such actions, but even a generic one can be guided as an agent as above.

The power of agents

The strength of this approach is we no longer simply ask a question from a single AI and get an answer, right or wrong. Instead, we ask our team of agents. They delegate tasks, use tools, such as web search, stock checker, spreadsheets and so on. They check each other’s output and can demand it’s not good enough and their task has to be redone.

So now we have planning, recursion, long term workloads and much more. This allows us to take manly LLMs, combine them in clever ways and have them perform and check tasks for us. This basically allows humans to create virtual companies, project teams and much more. Even with their own customer support, feedback and upgrade mechanism to continuously develop their commercial offering. All without human intervention.

Or we have teams to control our house, workshop, education and more. Really, there is no bound.

Autonomi and agents

This is a match made in heaven. Autonomi allows us to publish an agent and update that. Others can use it and lock to a version of our CEO (for instance) or always use the latest (Autonomi puts you in control at all times).

This is a totally new way to share and decentralise community created content on a massive scale. As people gravitate towards the person who creates the best CEOs or Software dev agents, then folk will use this and pay the creator. It’s quite magical.
