Humanity's greatest power has been our drive to understand. This endless curiosity transformed caves into cities and revealed the laws that govern galaxies.
Artificial intelligence, if created responsibly, is a tool that helps us understand at greater levels of complexity. Just as a telescope allows us to see further, AI should uncover patterns and connections that are hidden from human view.
S❍MA is a distributed network of computers that continuously incentivizes the ingestion of new data from any source and evaluates how each contribution improves its comprehension of the world. Anyone in the world can submit data, or develop models that extract patterns and connections.
This endless search for novelty serves one purpose: to extend humanity's greatest legacy – our ceaseless curiosity to understand.
