We are past the event horizon. Humanity will not exist in the year 2100. We will all be wiped out by a power we brought into existence, or we will have ascended to a level where it would be grossly inaccurate to call us the same Homo Sapiens who roamed the African Savannah.

Homo Astralis [human of the stars]

We want to contribute towards the later vision. The next few years are the most important in the timeline of our species. We have a chance to set course for the glorious future where we are among the stars.

The greatest threat we must avoid are the immensely strong attractors of attention-capture. The artifacts of the AI systems being developed. We can easily stumble into a future where humans spend their entire conscious experience consuming AI generated hyper-stimulating slop. A world where there is no meaning. A slow crawl into the abyss.

Akrasia. That is our greatest enemy. The internet brought all of the world's knowledge at everyone's fingertips. Many thought this would bring in a period of great intellectualism and progress. Yet what do we use the internet for? More than 99% of internet traffic is spent fetching us "entertainment". Just pushing the fast forward button on our lives. Wasting the most precious thing we have. Don't believe me? Do you think Warren Buffet would not trade his every penny for your youth?

AI represents the ultimate power. It has the potential to generate the most optimized captivating slop. An inescapable pit. But it also has the potential to block it. To provide a firewall that burns viral packets of bits that threaten to hijack our vulnerable mental states.

Just as a nation doesn't just let anyone inside their borders, we must be as vigilant with our minds. You are what you consume. And with the threat of hyper-stimulating AI content just around the corner, this is a life and death threat. In less than two years there will exist content that hijacks your mind to an extent Mr. Beast can only dream of.
