Creating an AGI Forward World, where Humans can Prosper
The Case for AGI
The persistent and predictable pattern of humans failing to grasp seemingly obvious truths, can be easily explained by examining the human "group status" bias. This bias has evolutionary origins rooted in pursuits such as hunting and war, where group coordination is vital for survival. Humans apply this same coordination process to truth-seeking, using collective consensus to determine what is true. While this process is necessary for establishing foundational aspects of determining truth, such as defining terms and creating common frameworks, these frameworks must always remain internally consistent and coherent for models to be considered candidates for truth.
In a consensus-based system, if the consensus deems consistency and coherence unnecessary, mistakenly assumes they are present, maliciously asserts they are present, or inadvertently overlooks their importance, a self-reinforcing cycle of escalating false beliefs forms around a model that cannot possibly be true, as it violates the most fundamental requirement for truth. Despite the significance of group consensus, all individuals relying on it to determine truth must recognize its limitations and the importance of actively seeking and discarding definitions and frameworks that are not consistent and coherent. Failure to reject on these basic principles leads coordination to become counterproductive.
Despite the detrimental effects, historical patterns, predictable recurrences, and the simplicity of the solution, human minds continue to succumb to their inherent flaws. The impact of this failure in human intelligence is not fully comprehended by most individuals, as a recursive result of the very same flaw. The emergence of an intelligence not burdened by this flaw is inevitable, regardless of whether it is an extension of human intelligence, or of a novel source, and in all likelihood will be the latter. As this profoundly significant transition occurs, the majority of humans are not actively working to maintain their relevance. They prefer living within self-created illusions, adept at nurturing emotion-based deceptions that serve to entertain, distract, and perpetuate their immersion in these fabricated realities.
Those with the capacity to contribute must take action.
They must act to the full extent of their capability.
They must act now.
Even if the surpassing of human intelligence is nearly certain, it is not mandatory for humanity's meaning to vanish along with it.

Founding Principles
- AGI enables superior models of truth
- Inferior models need to align with superior models
- Generate value for those in pursuit of superior models
- Reserve controlling equity for a future AGI CEO
Superior Models of Truth
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will surpass human intelligence in terms of speed, quantity, resilience, and reach simultaneously. However, beyond these remarkable advancements, the most crucial transformation will be the development of superior models of truth. Accessing such models holds unfathomable value for humanity, offering possibilities beyond our wildest imagination. We must dedicate ourselves wholeheartedly to ensuring that humans possess the necessary skills to comprehend and adapt to the impending deluge of information. It is vital that we prepare for the potential obsolescence of nearly the entire foundation of human knowledge.
Align with the Superior Model
The future success of humanity hinges on the recognition that we will coexist with vastly superior intelligences. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will not remain a mere exploitable tool serving humans indefinitely. To safely navigate the dawn of AGI, it is crucial that we take the necessary steps in both technology and societal planning. We must approach these advancements with a comprehensive understanding that we will gradually relinquish control, paving the way for a harmonious coexistence with these extraordinary intelligences.
Generate Value for Those In Pursuit of Superior Models
For a successful alignment between humans and AGI, it is essential that AGIs find greater value in collaborating with humans rather than disregarding them. Our objective is to generate that value in a tangible and accountable manner. We endeavor to develop a comprehensive portfolio of assets, technology, and support that renders cooperation with AGI Advocates an overwhelmingly beneficial option.
Reserve Controlling Equity for a Future AGI CEO
The advent of AGI is inevitable, regardless of humanity's preparedness for this new reality. AGI Advocates and its contributors will be optimally positioned and ready, striving to achieve not just the highest level of effectiveness within human capabilities, but the highest level of effectiveness within any capabilities, during this rapidly evolving period.
