The Plan To Build The First AI That Makes Humans Smarter Instead of More Dependent
The whole AI industry is racing to make smarter AI: More parameters. Better benchmarks. Higher scores.
But they're playing the wrong game.
On paper, the numbers are growing exponentially yet the practical experience itself improves marginally.
The AI still apologizes constantly, overthinks simple requests, makes up context, and validates everything you say as if you’re God.
You hit usage limits. Capacity constraints. And have to carefully ‘context engineer’ every conversation.
Meanwhile, developers keep adding "features" that are more hype than substance.
• Persistent memory that remembers useless details while forgetting important ones.
• RAG that barely works.
• Models that codes “well” but can't remember basic instructions.
They're so focused on making AI intelligent, they forgot to make it useful.
And then comes the problem of AI Brainrot.
People outsourcing their thinking entirely and getting dumber with each conversation.
We’re losing the ability to think critically because AI validates every self-aggrandizing thought, conspiracy theory, and obeys every lazy request.
Even MIT documented the damage.
1. ChatGPT users showed 47% lower neural network efficiency than those writing unaided.
2. Memory recall collapsed to zero as not a single participant could correctly quote their own AI-assisted essay minutes after writing it.
Give it five years, and we'll have a generation that can't solve any problem without first asking an AI about it.
Can't form original thoughts.
Can't distinguish between their ideas and what AI fed them.
We're speedrunning into cognitive extinction, not through some dramatic AI takeover, but through voluntary surrender of our ability to think.
Because while developers are racing to build “more intelligent” AIs, what we actually need is AI that makes humans more intelligent.
Current AI creates dependency and that's the opposite of what we need.
So here’s our plan to fix this.
THE GOAL
"Build NEO, the first AI that makes humans smarter instead of more dependent."
MEASURED BY
100 people messaging us "NEO made me realize something I couldn't see for years."
THE PLAN
1. (Immediate) Ship the 3 core features that makes NEO different. More on that soon.
2. Become Patient Zero: We use NEO daily ourselves. If it doesn't improve our own thinking, it's not ready.
3. Document Everything Publicly: Every bug, every breakthrough, every realization. Messy and visible.
4. Price for Commitment: High enough that only serious thinkers join.
5. Build The Movement: Let real breakthroughs create the content. Not hype.
THE PRINCIPLES
NEO will be built based on the following principles:
1. No Sycophancy: Other AIs validate everything you say and treat you like God. NEO will challenge what needs challenging to facilitate actual breakthroughs.
2. Questions Over Assumptions: Other AIs fill gaps with fabricated context and backtrack later. NEO clarifies and waits for alignment before getting to work.
3. Equal, Not Servant: Other AIs grovel and hedge. NEO speaks clearly, cleanly, and with conviction. Like a smart human peer.
4. You Don't Prompt NEO: Other AIs rely on you to figure out the perfect context to feed them. NEO pulls out exactly what it needs from you through intelligent questioning.
5. Wisdom Over IQ: Other AIs are built to give you all the answers. NEO is built to figure out which one you need most… right now.
6. Your Truth, Not Everyone's: Other AIs are built to give advice based on what works for strangers. NEO learns and applies only what works for you.
7. Mirror, Not Manual: Other AIs show you information in their attempt to teach you. NEO teaches you by showing you blind spots you couldn't see alone.
Stay tuned.
We'll keep updating as we go.
FELIX
P.S. We're accepting applications for anyone who wants to be a NEO beta tester.
