Agentic AI is starting to create original content, developing on existing one (from humanity) and on its own senses (it now has hearing and sight). This content is flooding the internet, so any new knowledge being acquired now comes from humanity+AI, if not purely from AI (the likes of AlphaZero learn on their own, without human input). Maybe AI is a mirror, but it looks into it and sees itself.


Sucks that generations of people going forward will never know a pure human internet.

It seems like the internet of the 90s to 2010s was forever a special moment in history. Destined to be short lived.


You should have experienced the internet from 85 to 95, before commerce and the masses arrived. Now that was truly different.


> any new knowledge being acquired now comes from humanity+AI

AI is an experience flywheel, it serves many people and learns from many people. It elicits our tacit experience and captures our reactions as it works through tasks. I see this as the primary way experience will spread in the future (distributed population generated tasks -> centralized experience in LLM -> distributed contextual application). It's like auto-open sourcing our problem solving as we solve problems.


It really doesn’t see itself, generative AI is not aware.


Why? Do you have an accurate way to determine if something is aware that could be applied to all possible generative models?

I'm not asserting that they are aware, just asking how you can tell that they are not?


Usually the one making a claim has the burden of proof.

So when someone says AI is aware then that someone should demonstrate with arguments that it is true and convince the one saying that it is not the case.


It really does see its past tokens. Attention makes that a core feature, it can introspect on its own past thoughts.

And like humans have to speak one word at a time (serially), so does the model. Distributed activity of neurons funneled through the centralizing bottleneck of serial token prediction. This parallel-to-serial process is the key, I think it's where consciousness is.


For certain values of introspect.


I can't stop thinking this is how we will save humanity from the internet.

Who needs to use the internet when you can have an agent do it for you? And once it is filled with agents, what will be the point of using it?


This will be our Tower of Babel moment.


Symphony.fr | JS full-stack lead | Remote (international team) | Full-time | $70k-125k

We automate food, from generating tailor-made recipes to bringing the associated ready-to-eat meals on your table. Think pesto pasta, chili con carne, veggie bowl.

Symphony.fr is a platform that gathers all of the community's recipes, from the popular and the trendy to the niche and those of your friends. You can order any recipe, improve it and iterate, or you can create new ones from scratch, manually or with the help of AIs and algorithms (to optimize for nutritional and gustative constraints, notably). Think of it as programmable food with a Darwinist environment to bring out the most remarkable creations.

We are currently shipping on a weekly basis across the whole of France, but will soon have 24/7 collection points around Europe and beyond. Join the revolution :-).

  Role:

  - You will join a team of 5 developers as a full-stack developer
  - You will then progressively be given the responsibility of managing the issues, which implies:
    - understanding the needs
    - discussing the solution with UI/UX, marketing and others
    - detailing the technical specifications
    - guiding and helping the team through the implementation
    - reviewing the feature and handling merge and deployment

  Requirements:

  - You have worked on large Mongo/Node/React projects
  - You have strong experience in both back-end and client-side
  - You have broad knowledge of how computers, networks, databases and ML/AI work
  - You have common sense, understand UX, and like taking initiatives

  Bonus: you are game enough to take on this small challenge https://symphony.fr/js-challenge

You've said it, cryptographic signatures are the way. Then it all becomes a trust economy where someone vouching for a claim puts their reputation at stake, and that is exactly what gives the claim a certain level of reliability.


Symphony | REMOTE | Full-time | backend / frontend / lead full-stack / data-scientist | Mongo-Node-React | $35k-90k

We're a food-tech startup allowing the collective exploration of the mathematical space of all possible recipes. We like to think of it as the primordial soup for the universe of cuisine.

- Hardware side: We produce and ship any recipe for 7€ a piece, ready-to-eat (e.g. pesto pasta, chili con carne, veggie bowl). Think of Symphony as a black box: recipe in, meal out (and brought to your doorstep).

- Software side: Members can create recipes out of a catalog of 500 ingredients (e.g. 85% pasta, 7% basil paste, 7% olive oil, 1% salt). They can then order, taste, adjust and repeat. But the real value comes from the community sharing their best findings: from the most popular to the trending, the very niche and the just absurd — any combination is allowed, !500. Recipes are constantly evolving towards diverse variants. Finally, machine-learning is used to model users' preferences and make recommendations; model the essence of popular recipes and generate new variants (from small adjustments to merging several recipes together).

We're hiring diverse positions. Send your CV at job@symphony.fr, and we'll arrange a 30 min video call.

Symphony | REMOTE | Full-time | Lead full-stack MongoDB/Node.js/React

Be the lead web developer for an innovative foodtech startup that applies machine-learning and automation to a community-driven effort to find the most attention-worthy recipes existing out there, in the universe of all possible recipes.

# The company

Users subscribe to Symphony and receive every week 5 to 14 ready-to-eat meals (think pesto pasta, chili con carne, veggie bowl). Every single meal is unique and has been tailor-made to the user's preferences. The application collects feedback on how the user found each meal to improve the recipes it suggests for the next delivery. Users can also manually modify recipes or create new ones from scratch, out of a catalog of 500 ingredients. They can also browse all the recipes created by the community: the most popular, the trending ones, the niche ones, and those ordered by friends. Order, taste, adjust, repeat.

We finished a beta-testing phase in Paris, and are looking to open to the whole of France within 2 months. We have for ambition to quickly expand to Europe and beyond, starting with Spain and Belgium.
