We are excited to announce a multi-billion token merger with @Fetch_ai and @oceanprotocol to create the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, the largest open-sourced, decentralized network, and accelerate the race to AGI. Learn more: businesswire.com/news/home/2024…
Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit against #OpenAI and its co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, alleging their multibillion-dollar partnership with Microsoft compromises the company's original founding principles. These principles included a nonprofit structure, and developing open-source Artificial General Intelligence #AGI for the benefit of humanity. This lawsuit comes at a time when the #AI development landscape is rapidly shifting. The debate surrounding open-source AI is particularly relevant, especially with Big Tech companies like Meta and IBM starting to advocate for an “open-science” approach to AI development. Speaking on the first day of the Beneficial AGI Summit #BGI24 in Panama (Feb 27th - March 1st), #SingularityNET CEO Dr. @bengoertzel acknowledged the importance of open-source AI for transparency and collaboration. However, he signaled that open-source code alone is not sufficient: “Open source code is great but if you are open sourcing your code but the data needed to make that code do anything is proprietary and the software needed to run that code usefully costs a hundred million dollars, then the fact that the code is open source is of less use than one might expect.” Therefore, Dr. Goertzel proposed “one of the potential alternative paths” to AI development, deployment, and governance, stressing the need for additional guiding principles to avoid scenarios where a small number of companies or government agencies have excessive control over the future of humanity. He advocated for decentralized deployment and governance models to prevent the concentration of power and promote democratic control. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of open-ended cognitive approaches to AGI, prioritizing architectures like OpenCog Hyperon, the new version of the OpenCog system. He also underlined the critical need for ethical data practices, advocating for the use of ethically sourced and managed data to train AI models. Finally, he highlighted the importance of inclusivity, ensuring that the benefits of transformative technologies are accessible to everyone.

Jesse Watters casually suggests that Pence commit crimes: "Pence, seriously, we have this great thing going with Joe. C'mon man! And then he confessed to it. He couldn't just destroyed it, we never would've known."
