"I feel like Superman when I don't have supervision!" -- Datendrache

I'm not sure where to begin or where to shut up about what exactly I am as a person, my life has been horribly complex and largely unbelievable. I have few friends, multitudes of detractors, and a handful of acquaintances.

One could say I've become a friendly hermit, both by choice and by circumstance.

What I'm trying to accomplish

Different ways of looking at the big picture:

1. I'm trying to build my own version of AI, with an emphasis on achieving things only computers are capable of, rather than trying to "copy the human mind".
2. Create a monumentally large nervous system of inputs that can be scaled indefinitely without the cloud.
3. Reinvestigate some of the technologies we took for granted because they were first to market, and rebuild them to "final optimized form".
4. Having what some companies are paying millions of dollars for to cloud providers that are essentially free if people would just share the software.

Why?

The fastest animal on earth is the Cheetah. A human is about average in speed compared to all the animals on earth. If you put a human on a bicycle, the human goes to the top of the list. Humans are already the smartest animal, But if you pair a human with a computer, you can get a more capable human.

But what does that even mean, "a more capable human"? In my mind, the computer needs to do more on a personal level than they do so that the person using it has the answers to questions, sometimes even before they realize they need it. Patience, exploration, searching -- reading millions of documents daily finding the people, places, and concepts that matter most.

I still can't tell a person what a Library is for. If a person seeks knowledge, they find a book and read it. But if that knowledge isn't in the book they have to go elsewhere. TL;DR? good. The world doesn't stop spinning for people, though. So simply put, my goal is to make the tools that seek knowledge.

Chat AI capabilities speak when spoken to. But I want to listen, and be told when to act. All the while, my computer friend will be vigilant and faithful.
