Vitalik: Excited about an open-source AI model with contextual weighting and real-time editing capabilities, looking forward to brain-machine interface collaborations.
August 11th, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin shared in a post, saying, "At present, many artificial intelligence developments are aiming to make systems as 'autonomous' as they can be. However, in reality, creating more channels for human participation not only leads to better results (and this is likely to remain the case for a long time in the future), but is also more beneficial for security."
"Today, I am much more inclined towards AI models that are open-source weighted and have good 'editing' capabilities rather than models that are simply created from scratch."
"In the medium term, I hope for a certain kind of advanced brain-computer interface (BCI) technology that can provide me with real-time feedback while generating content and detect my sentiments towards each part, and then make adjustments based on the feedback."
