I’m founding a new company dedicated to building the world’s first truly conscious AI. After decades of thinking about how AI could become conscious, the emergence of GPT suddenly gave me the tools I think are adequate to build it. I’d been working on an AI book, a nonfiction theory of AI, sparked by the speculative vision in my novel Control Theory, but now instead of publishing a paper, I want to turn it into reality. I’m seeking people interested in working with me. Contact me and I’ll share my pitch deck and, for the right people, the technical details.
