Artificial Societies has raised $5.3m. We are building the Thinking Machine that can see all potential societal outcomes of any given actions, and help humanity find the golden paths. Yes, we are here to build Psychohistory. And we are just getting started.

Build a machine to guide humanity. Model hallucinates. Civilization ends before IPO.

I think Palantir is already on that! Hopefully we get to pull humanity the other way :)

“All potential societal outcomes…” is a profoundly bold claim given that we live in a universe where entropy is always increasing. This thesis also undergirds the premise that all human behavior can be mapped onto a bounded space and by necessity in some respect predetermined which in of itself is a bold claim. If this behavior can be modeled why hasn’t a hedge fund done so up until this point?Who is to say that market demand is a predetermined quantity? When the iPhone was created its value proposition superseded the amalgam of a cell phone, mp3 and GPS into an entirely new product category thus creating sentiment and demand for something that was never conceived of before. Congratulations on raising and maybe you can chew on aforementioned above for some food for thought.

We think it's a probability distribution - it's impossible to fully bound future outcomes, but there are clusters of high potentials in the distribution that can be anticipated, or mitigated, given the right input action. It's like finding phase transition probabilities.

Bro “We are building the Thinking Machine that can see all potential societal outcomes of any given actions, and help humanity find the golden paths.” That’s called a Time Machine & you’re not building that

brother ur literally on twitter

How are there is there not more Dune discussion in the comments!?

ikr

How do you propose to simulate non ergodic systems that drive financial markets and social institution formation if the method is monte Carlo sampling over LLM outputs?

it's a MCMC-LLM-ABM

If I have ever seen a crystal clear sign of an AI bubble, this is it lol

Looks like The Foundation is real

one day!

lfggggg! bro why is everyone raising exactly 5.3m LOL

it’s the shit

psychohistory and predicting the future looks inside its adware

@patliberal gotta start by making a useful tech for someone!

Well done on convincing some folks of the mathematically and computationally impossible. Default dead.

MY GOATTTTTTTTT JAMESSSSS

Thank you brother! 🙏

this is a bizarre way to phrase what your product actually does

@LacertaXG1 what part of the cycle is this?

Huge, congrats @james_k_he @sharpetrick!!

@sharpetrick thank you for your early conviction!

They’re selling the solution to the Halting problem to investors that are bad at math

we did simulate our investors before we pitched them - I guess it worked

Isaac Asimov would be proud. Great stuff!

Great idea but the current tech stack is lacking a key component. It really hurts seeing so many great AI Startups w cool ideas that could bring a lot of value heading towards a dead end with LLMs. LLM is just one half of the equation towards the kind of accuracy you need for your idea or frankly towards any superintelligence like ability. I hope all the best for u guys and hopefully u have it figured it out by then if u have not already internally 🫶

@AmIPades totally - which is why LLMs are only just a part of our stack!

lol

Can we start the West World discussions here please. Thanks.

Awesome idea

“psychohistory is just astrology and fundamentally anti-creativity. also, lose the ‘point three’. just five—it’s cleaner.”

@_harithj might interest you - market research competition ;)

Developing Psychohistory is amazing. Congrats on the milestone!

Love seeing @mastra in here.

yessir just the beginning, love to see what's next

Let’s go, congrats Simulation space is super exciting

lfg

I love this use case

Don't erase your employees' memories

so psyched for you + artificial societies

thank you Jackie!

differences with @subconscious_ai ?

Show us some evals and metrics.

fresh from testing meta ads AB test winner prediction accuracy with a prospective customer:

@hyperstitial enjoy

so this means i can set up my own Monty Python's Life of Brian server?

This is wild. Feels like science fiction turning real.
