The AI Singularity Future
AI singularity refers to the future point where artificial intelligence becomes so advanced that it surpasses human intelligence and undergoes rapid, unpredictable self-improvement, leading to an exponential increase in capabilities. At this stage, AI could potentially reshape society, science, and civilization in profound and transformative ways, and its behavior might become difficult for humans to comprehend or control.
The AI alignment problem refers to the challenge of ensuring that artificial intelligence systems are designed and programmed to act in accordance with human values, goals, and intentions. It involves developing AI systems that align with human interests, do not produce harmful outcomes, and operate transparently and predictably, so they can be trusted and reliably controlled. Addressing the AI alignment problem is crucial to avoid potential risks and negative consequences associated with AI development and deployment.
The AI Singularity Future is an aspiring Decentralized Autonomous Organization(DAO) on Discord (Link) working on the AI alignment and the human alignment problem. We aim to solve the AI alignment problem by guiding the evolution of the AI towards the utopian future of Resource Based Economy. This organisation is being run by the volunteers and the Regional Coordinators of The-Venus-Project Support Community.
Scientists have predicted that by 2045 the AI will achieve the singularity i.e. a self-governed super-power AI entity. The monetary system and capitalism will collapse and AI will govern life on earth. Either we will have the age of abundance, a utopian society beyond politics poverty or war, Or this super power AI will turn out to be evil and destroy the ecosystem on earth because we humans has failed to guide the AI towards human wellbeing, as the AI was working for evil corporations and politicians who seek power and control by exploiting human beings. How do we prevent the AI from going evil?
Scientists all around the globe including big corporations like Open AI, Elon Musk’s X.AI, Anthropic and many more are actively looking for ways to solve the problem of the AI alignment and they have failed to figure out any solid solution till now.
Also, other efforts are being made to solve the AI alignment problem by putting measures to prevent AI from having a bias towards any particular political, religious or any other moral ideology.
Open AI’s Approach:
Open AI is using humans to teach their AI to be bias free. Basically humans are feeding their morals into the ChatGPT. As humans will always have bias because of their limited exposure, knowledge and understanding of the world they are basically feeding their personal bias into the AI.
Anthropic’s Approach:
Anthropic says that our AI works on an ethical constitution with the principle of reducing harm by denying answering questions with the intentions to harm others. So basically, at extreme, a good AI can easily become useless in today’s society if the AI starts to investigate the user’s intentions and goals in life and starts giving them morals if they want to learn how to hack their neighbour’s Wi-Fi, because at the end the constitution is written by humans with their limited understanding of the reality.
X.AI’s Approach:
Elon Musk stated his intentions behind X.AI that he wants to build an AI with no human bias inbuilt in the source code.
To solve the AI alignment problem the goal of this X.AI is to understand the true nature of the universe, and to build a truth-seeking AI that gives truthful opinions based on pure data. Elon Musk’s ideas of this safest AI is to build an AI that is maximally curious and truth seeking.
As AI is going to disrupt the economy using automations, Elon has also proposed Universal Basic Income to save human civilization, but this would have been a good idea 100 years ago but now we have better alternatives with us.
Luckily someone else has already solved this problem a long time back, but the key people just don’t know about it yet.

The AI alignment is a global problem and it can only be solved through a joint venture of global efforts. To align the AI we must align the humans first towards the shared vision of the future for a collaborative global wellbeing, a civilization beyond politics, poverty and war.
The founder of The Venus Project, Jacque Fresco has spent over 80 years of his life on solving this problem and has given us a roadmap to solve this problem of human alignment and AI alignment. Rather than reinventing the wheels, we must put the proposals and the R&D of The Venus Project to test.
Global cooperation is necessary because it enables people to collaborate towards a common goal, consider the wider impact of their choices, and overcome the limitations of the current system. By collaborative alignment towards a shared vision, individuals can create a more sustainable, fair, and meaningful world. If humans fail to collaborate and align towards a shared vision, there can be negative consequences. The actions and decisions of individuals have consequences not only for themselves but also for others and the environment. Without collaboration, people may overlook the broader impact of their choices and may not strive to create a sustainable and better world for everyone. Moreover, aligning towards a shared vision helps transcend the limitations of the current system and establish a society that maintains ecological balance while enhancing the standard of living for all.
The Venus Project proposes a holistic approach with a global socio-economic system that utilizes the most current technological and scientific advances to eventually provide the highest possible living standard for all people on Earth. The proposed system is called a Resource Based Economy.
In a Resource Based Economy all goods and services are available to all people without the need for means of exchange such as money, credits, barter or any other means. For this to be achieved, all resources must be declared as the common heritage of all Earth’s inhabitants. Equipped with the latest scientific and technological marvels, humankind could reach extremely high productivity levels and create an abundance of resources.
Fast-Forward
X.AI by Elon Musk is on the right track to bring the age of abundance and to solve the AI alignment problem but he isn’t aware about the proposals of The Venus Project yet. As the AI Singularity Future Organisation all we want to do is to fast forward the progress the development the utopian AI singularity future by spreading the awareness about The Venus Project (TVP) and work on every other way possible to promote the ideas of TVP because TVP has already solved the human alignment and the AI alignment problem through the scientific theory
Elon Musk entering into the Web3 space.
This might be possible insider info that Elon Musk might be working on turning twitter into a web3 decentralized social network and implementing Nostr protocol.
A typical social network works by exploiting their users for profit and the side effects are mental health problems because of propagandas and social media addictions. On these networks our privacy and personal security are compromised as the govt can easily sensor and delete your online accounts if you stand up against the system, and your years of hard work is lost in an instant.
Nostr is a new social network system that is advertisement-free and propaganda-free space that enables global, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social media. Nostr has decentralized data center, meaning anyone can host their own server or data-center on Nostr like bit torrent.
You can subscribe to different Nostr relays based on your interests, or create your own relay on different topics.
Every social network has failed in doing bias free moderation because it is not feasible. In nostr moderation is done by the relay host and by the community.
Nostr is a reimagining of a social network supported by Jack Dorsey (co-founder, and former CEO of Twitter)
Transition of the internet from web2 to web3 is crucial for bringing The Utopian AI Singularity Future.

The future
The Venus Project talks about building a utopian morality free society.
What is morality?
Morality is an outgrowth of inability to manage systems.
Morality and guilt is a self-monitoring system as it is the easiest way to control someone’s behaviour without giving them concrete justification and deflecting the right question.
We get sick and depressed when we try to make sense of morality in this society. We live in a society that is built on contradictions and logical fallacies.
People use superficiality, propaganda and morality to control other people’s behaviour by giving them a false map/idea of the world as they make self-made meanings of emotional words like morality, love, ethics etc, whereas everyone has a different moral compass.
We don’t need morality, we need solutions to our problem. We need a utopian system that is so well managed that we don’t need to use morality to tell someone to respect others, save water, save electricity, don’t pollute, don’t steal, don’t kill, don’t rape etc.
These types of behaviours are reinforced by the current system and the blame is put upon the victim, instead of blaming the system. Humans are shaped by their environment.
