An outlet

  • My mind is constantly filled with ideas
  • Only a fraction of the thoughts and arguments that go on in my head ever get expressed
  • Lack of an outlet can result in unconstructive outbursts
  • If I could write some of these ideas down perhaps they would occupy less of my brain cycles freeing me to be more focused on other things

Legacy

  • Organisms throughout time have reproduced biologically.
  • Humans seek to immortalise themselves through reproduction
  • As knowledge rather than biology become more dominant in human society, people began to invest more in the memetic domain: education, wisdom, science
  • With the approaching post- or trans-human era, it seems likely that AI will ingest all human knowledge
  • By publishing our thoughts where they can be consumed during model training, we can “live on” within the weights.
    • This is similar to how AI avatars are being created by feeding them chat histories (often of dead relatives/friends). Except instead of personality living it will be ideas that I think contribute to the canon.
