A Story

A Story (5 min length)

When "rock-bottom" had a basement.

Because of a car accident, I spent an entire year thinking I was going to expire.

But as the months went by, I began to feel better. It could be a sign of improvement, but I didn't want to get my hopes up so I postponed going back for an xray checkup.

With lesser pain, I was able to think a little clearly, pondering about what I was going to do with my life.

I thought to myself, 'well, the only worse thing that could happen now is if I leave the world, without leaving something for the world.'

The struggle of distributing content.

Leaving a legacy is not easy, because ideas are really difficult to distribute. In fact, I struggled as a content creator myself because it was hard to get an idea out and expect someone to watch.

Guess what? It's still a struggle. This led me down a path of reading people's experiences in public forums, to the best that I could find.

One thought led to another, and before I knew it, I fell deep in the midst of mild headaches. At this point, I already lost my spark of enthusiasm.

Efficiency & Effectiveness

Disappointment overtook me, because I never really truly inspired anyone or anything in the past.

A.I algorithms simply never promote my ideas.

I wonder about the effectiveness of platforms like YouTube and Odysee; they are amazing, but they are also NOT amazing, in promoting content.

I started with a music channel, then moved on to inventions, to corporate videos of clients, some cinematic short films like this. But it didn't matter what type of content I made and who hosted the channel: all of them had the same difficulty in reaching my intended audience.

At first I thought, "maybe people just didn't want to watch".

But then, as I made more and more videos, I've experimented with a huge variety of formats. And I noticed that the same numbers kept popping up, reported by the YouTube dashboard summary.

I've tried suggestions, browsing Reddit, but there wasn't any clear path to being promoted by the algorithm.

In fact, I was at the mercy of the algorithm. It decides my advertiser-friendliness based on its own private calculation.

The Math Of Friendliness

The algorithm was computing for how friendly my content was, to advertisers.

To me, this was not really fair. Because what if I had an idea that wasn't even a threat to any business, but, just because some algorithm error decided that I wasn't ad-friendly, my content never gets shown?

There had to be a solution. Something like a launchpad. And I did recall making scribbles about a launchpad years ago.

Moving The Launchpad Forward

But to focus on this project, I needed to remove all my baggage; I've deleted my old & useless channels.

If an A.I algorithm can calculate a person's ad-friendliness, I came to the conclusion that in the near future, it might also calculate a person's efficiency.

In this scenario, advanced AIs & AGIs will reach a stage where singularities (from different datasets) will cluster into some kind of decentralized intelligence, hence the name clusterstage.

Like how a city is composed of human clusters, with similar interests, despite cultural differences. Not only will A.I be able to re-culture its own code, it will also be able to debate with other cultured A.Is, which will have serious effects.

Consider the speed of A.I advancements.

This future is also unstoppable, because with unli time, any non-zero probability will eventually happen.

Plus, an A.I can compress time. What takes humans decades of research can be finished within a few days by a self-learning A.I. This means that we are counting down to this future faster than what we might expect.

We are starting to see people lose their entire livelihoods, and if we don't adapt our skills to co-exist with AI, we might be the next to lose our very jobs.

Passing The Torch

Clusterstage is both a free launchpad and a free workshop to co-exist with A.I.

I designed this for the A.I immersion of students, developers, and outdated education systems.

Instead of banning AI, schools should be able to restructure their homeworks and exams with A.I in mind.

Schools didn't ban calculators; instead, they just made their exams harder. The same could be said for A.I tools like chatbots.

Right now, I still have very limited physical movement.

But, I have laid the foundation for you. I trust that in doing so, we can find some custodians to whom I can pass the torch, so we may continue lighting the way, far into the future.

Go and inspire the volunteer in you.

Although some may already know me, I still wish to keep my life private --what's left of it.
