Seeking AI VC Funding?

44 comments:

Q said...

More like AI VC Braining

brain(ing)
/breɪn/
verb
hit (someone) hard on the head with an object.



PS My playful choice of a word... still seems like precisely *striking*, isn't it? ;-)

Funding would be needed. But... in a form of intellect cleverly applied. First and foremost.
As it is not rocket science. Means no big bulky equipment needed.
But brains... some, for very least.

Q said...

What I want to...

well, no, that is not about my desires, but about existing civilization framework...

therefore, what I *need* to do.

Closest example as analogy -- that is how semicindactor industry have started from laboratory of Schockley.

But... they have had high start. They have had all tech in their lab... they only needed to make it into industry.


More recent example -- Elon Musk and SpaceX.
That is more sparcely and closer to my endevour.
He didn't have tech. Or proof of concept. Because it was not possible, to make it in a lab, and only then scale it up.
But he had have funds... and most important -- lots of people with starry eyes and actual professional experience, who'd want to make rockets, who was tought to make rockets, but market situation would not allow em that.


My case is similar. But even more sparse.
While 3D-printing, and other needed ingridients are all there.
As well as idea of swarming, self-constructing, programmed to do anything you want robots is widespread enough.
As well as people who proficient in this and that.
As well as other people, who maybe would fund such enterprise.
But.
I do not see a way -- how that idea would come into head of some Elon Musk.
Because, I myself "wasted" dozen(s?) of years to come to that idea.
While reading all kinds of obscure sources (like that Lem's writing).

Sounds like you need to get on a Science Panel.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...with Maxwell Edison... ;)

Q said...

Square peg, round holes problem again.

I need to know what words to use.

Question is... my idea is not about some product (while it can be used for many products). So, it is self-defeating to pitch it around some product.

It is not about some single neat patent/tech -- there is many ways how things I talking about (you know: robots, cities on the Moon) can be made.

There is question of organization of it all...
Imagine Edison. How he devised a plan to make a whole workshop... for making inventions. ;-)

Hmm... too vague, still.

That is my problem... as I see it -- how to visualise that picture I see in my mind. To other people.

That's why it is *tinsy-lil-bit* early... to go to pitch for funding...

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

When you are ready, just remember this... you're usually pitching to zebras, not sharks.

Q said...

Well.
I could start doing it myself.
I know theory of how NC(Numeric Control) mills working.
And I could take some open source CAD and try enhance it.

That could be good hobby, only... my lifetime would not be enough to acomplish something.
Self-defeating.


I could start it as startup.
I know theory of economics and marketing.
But there big danger -- that need product-oriented approach. Which would eclipse other possible uses and developments.
Self-defeating.


The best start and usefulness it could show with actual building of the city on the Moon.

You know the reason -- why we still have no universal robots as Asimov proposed?
Because we already have 8 billion of most universal and cheap as dirt ones.

So, for anything like "advanced robotic tech with AI" to show its potential...
it need to be in some environments and under conditions -- where for humans it would be too much.

And that is... in Space. Or in the deeps of the Ocean.
Or... after Nuclear War. :-(((((((((((



So... what our current civilization do proposing to some more far-fetching endeavors? Do we realy able to perform like Sapiences we like to call ourself? Or... we need some potent stimulus? :-((((((((((

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

So, Crowdfund it:P

Just ask.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Or pitch your robots to Elon Musk to get his Mars Colony started w/o the million bio-bots.

Q said...

\\Or pitch your robots to Elon Musk to get his Mars Colony
started w/o the million bio-bots.

Inyeresting idea... all question is -- how???


\\So, Crowdfund it:P

Not specialist in PR. :-(((
You see, I have problem even with explaining myself even in p2p mode.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

How? Respond to one of his Tweets.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

:P

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

As for PR, just show a clip of Silent Running... ;P

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

:)

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Or sign up to become a cyborg!

Q said...

\\you're usually pitching to zebras, not sharks.

Ehm? Elaborate?


\\How? Respond to one of his Tweets.

He'll read it... ough, yeah. :-)))
And will answer... to one of millions under each of his post.
Well... that without obvious question -- how to describe it with... how many 100, or 200 symbols.

No, that is fit alike Heracles.


\\How to Contact Elon Musk

Scam.


Well, I will not try to hide it. To talk with him, or people like him... would be interesting experience.
But for now, talking with you is quite comfortable enough. ;-)

Q said...

\\As for PR, just show a clip of Silent Running... ;P

Aha... only DO NOT show what inside AKA Mechanical Turk ;-P

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

I elaborated in the link.

Q said...

That buzz... I know it. All that stuff how one need to be positive and proactive, and concentrated, and successful...

Only, they are not in your shoes... and you are not in their shoes...

Again, idea... that same "complex thought mode" idea. Of different POV. ;-)

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

No, the part about most people are zebras and not motivated to reach for greater success, they just try not to fail. They are "risk averse". And new ideas can be "risky". Their adoption can make one more "fragile" than "anti-fragile," noticeable, and not invisible to lions, sharks, and other larger predators.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

They "hide" within a bureaucratic herd. They live to hide and not "lose" their positions or status.

Q said...

\\No, the part about most people are zebras and not motivated to reach for greater success, they just try not to fail. They are "risk averse". And new ideas can be "risky".

(yawn)My idea is risk-free... just unusual.
Well, we discussed that part... from the words of Lem -- about different "types" of intellect, isn't it?

I myself cannot call myself adventurist. Risk-hungry. Seeking for opportunity.
But.
The very essence of potential of progress of idea I trying to unwind before you... making me eager to try to do something -- to try to find a way to push it into reality.


\\Their adoption can make one more "fragile" than "anti-fragile," noticeable, and not invisible to lions, sharks, and other larger predators.

On our current stage of development... we should care only about ONE predator out there -- Boredom. Fifth rider of Appo-Cappo-Kiss. ;-P


-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

No langoliers?

Q said...

I didn't watched it till the end... boredom. ;-P

Q said...

That is like when Lem have told about his experience of reading S.King. "He trying to scary me... but I'm laughing".

Reason is obvious... for a human with his biography.

Differ POVs again.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Langoliers will erase you from history. Zebras love them.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

..because they are PNs.

Q said...

Our existance is elusive by itself... without such metaphysical explanations needed.
Lem. Again. :-)

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Too bad, LEM could have sold more books had he believed in psychology.

“Faith is, at one and the same time, absolutely necessary and altogether impossible.”

Q said...

\\Too bad, LEM could have sold more books had he believed in psychology.

How many "best selling" books you was discussing lately? ;-P

How do toy say it. Ah, yes, Kindy Effect.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Lindy picks most of my books... ;)

Q said...

Ah... now I see what that Kindy is about... it is Lindy Bias. ;-P

Q said...

So? What social tchnologies we have -- to develop futher technological advancements?

Or, there is nothing... apart from individual involvment and understanding?

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Re-education camps?

And technological advancements in what fields to what ends? Terraforming Mars?

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

As I see it, we already have an "achievement society" that fosters individual involvement and understanding, it simply fails to "incentivize" it with its' outmoded tax and legal structures that favour certain established centralized control structures (corporations/States).

Q said...

\\Re-education camps?

Yap. China already proficcient with it.
And that is what awaits USA and all of the world... if you'll not find A NEW breakthrough WAYS, new ADVANCED techs. ;-P

That is not some history from dusty foliants.

THAT IS -- recent story.
while you, USA, was on a pinnackle of development and progress.
Producing things nobody else can and everybody wants.

You was on that road of success -- strolling from one victory to another.
But.
Just when your progress stalled, and your development replicated in other places.
You have more and more problems, queueing befire your doors. ;-)

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

I can't imagine why...

Q said...

What exactly "why?"

Well, about link -- that's why I like to talk and think about techs, than about psychology and social communication. More results. And they are more definite.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...but they are often the wrong solution to the wrong problem....

for example. Do you think that trans surgery is the solution to gender dysphoria?

Q said...

Dunno.

Only think that my tech can do it uninvasively too. ;-P

Not like I suggest it as main reason and needed use...

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Can your tech give me six penis', 2 anus' and 4 vaginas? Cuz I really want to have an orgy with myself... and I'd hate to "exclude" any gender preferences...

Q said...

:-)))

Lem. Again.

In one of his texts he described Future exactly like that -- that with development of tech of body modification -- people will start doing exactly that. :-))))


But also, he prophessed tech to eradicate such urge(s?) too. ;-P
