Hi! Thought I’d provide an update to those who are subscribed. First, thanks for following me! If you want somewhat more frequent status updates, feel free to follow me on X/Twitter (@AshleyDarkstone).
Second, Happy birthday Darkstone Cybernetics! Three years ago I started this company with the aim to develop advanced AI/AGI. I’ve been working at it since 2016, and have made a lot of progress in solidifying a direction and design in that time, and even since founding this company I’ve made significant leaps.
So where am I at now? I have a general design with many details established, and I’m applying that to the prototype (built on an open-source software stack). I’m about to secure significant server space with Microsoft to begin the actual work of putting the prototype together and making it work. Hopefully much progress will follow through the rest of the year.
I’m also working on revising the documentation on this site. I have over 25 pages that I’m sure most of you haven’t read or read in its entirety, and even if you had you probably didn’t ‘get it’, because I was being a bit opaque about certain things. It’s also a lot to read, and without enough context I’m sure it can be a pain to get through. So hopefully later this month I’ll have just ONE shorter document that will open up more on the overall design and some specifics of that design. Expect some changes to this site in the near future.
I think that’s about it for now. I’ll try to get better about communicating things more often on here, but also know that this is going to be a slow process developing next next gen AI, so I hope you all stick around for the long haul. I’m just getting started!
It’s going to be a hot hot AI summer!
Merry Late Christmas 🎄
