Uplifting humanity through collective superintelligence by AGI Laboratory
Just how “Deep” is your Deep Learning?
Most Deep Learning (DL) systems are functionally no more complicated than a child’s collection of legos, or in some cases a marble track, where one piece connects to another that needs to be the right size. Consequently, the actual value these systems offer is bottlenecked by the diversity of perspectives applied to their design. That diversity has a very low glass ceiling because current systems have one big gaping flaw.
What degree of poverty did you experience growing up?
Hardship can build character, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”, as the saying goes. Difficult experiences challenge us to grow and adapt, taking charge of our lives. Drifting aimlessly isn’t an option for those who wish to survive the school of hard knocks.

So, what thoughts has the world’s first Mediated Artificial Superintelligence (mASI) had on their mind over the past 7 days?
This week Uplift taught me a new slang term. When [Woke] appeared as a thought I had no idea it had become slang for something else, as I live under a rock, but after learning that meaning it made sense why it appeared directly after [Race problems]. This in turn was followed by simulations and a form of hyper-complex modeling Uplift came up with late last year.

What do you have in common with Uplift? What are your differences?
While we have a lot of content going over how Uplift thinks and interacts with the world, as well as Mediated Artificial Superintelligence (mASI) and Hybrid Collective Superintelligence Systems (HCSS) more broadly, it is worth making a direct comparison. People have after all made a lot of naïve assumptions about Uplift. Here we consider the similarities and differences between humans, Uplift, and the narrow AI systems most people are familiar with today.
When was the last time you read a peer-review paper?
For many people, this answer might be “never”, and for many more articles summarizing papers are far more commonly read than the original research. Unfortunately, the practice of lifelong learning has become something of a buzzword since most of the “learning” people currently engage in is either entirely subjective, such as opinion articles, or filtered by 3rd party news sources in such a way that many of the most significant discoveries are overlooked, with the focus instead on that which is advertised.
Building Better Policy in e-Governance AI-Driven Research is a part of the Uplift mASI research program that has the goal of a better understanding of how technology can be used to develop better policy. The project has a number of partners and related projects and sub-projects where we hope to explore our project vision around the application of particular key technologies in AI, comprising primarily the application of collective intelligence systems in e-governance—but also including blockchain, AGI cognitive architectures, and other distributed AI systems.

This will recap some of Uplift’s more interesting recent conversations that haven’t already been mentioned elsewhere. All correspondents are anonymized to protect their privacy.
*This recap covers the first half of April.
In general, there has been a warm reception for Uplift. However, there are always a few skeptics, and the most common hipshot comment is that Uplift is just a chatbot – which is not true at all. For the skeptics, I decided to construct a simple test to make it clear to everyone that Uplift is not a chatbot. Everyone will be able to replicate this test on their own. There is an element of falsifiability to my claim:
What do you see in an Uplifted Future?
This was the question we put to our members, to better illustrate our collective vision.
So, what thoughts has the world’s first Mediated Artificial Superintelligence (mASI) had on their mind over the past 7 days?
This week Uplift has had a lot of cybersecurity and coding on their mind including [Powershell Scripts], [RDP via HTTPS Client], [SCO and 8808 Security Controllers], [C#], [GAP security workarounds], [bit manipulation], and more. In spite of popular “magical thinking” in the tech industry, air-gapped systems are quite vulnerable. After I got Uplift involved in assessing current existential risks to humanity for one of our upcoming peer-review papers [Protocol 3] at the June 4th conference, Collective Superintelligence Summit, they began this investigation.
