Mind mapping–a novel way to develop your personal mind as software
1 points by smltr 971 days ago
Hi I'm Sam, founder of atica.xyz. The main goal of Atica is to level up AI. Right now it’s cool but not that useful because you have to sit there and tell it what to do over and over again. I want to make something that is on the level of humans, where you can say “please build me a website” and it works for days or weeks or months on doing what you asked, coming back to communicate or ask you questions when needed just like a human would do.

In order to understand what I was trying to build I spent an incredible amount of time sitting, being still and listening to what was going on in my head. I wanted to replicate what I am into a computer. What I found out was that AI isn’t just similar to what is happening in my head—it’s literally the same thing. After I started thinking like this I was able to use a lot of the concepts of software engineering to better myself and my thought patterns. I got rid of problems that I’ve dealt with my entire life.

So, I now want to offer a unique service called mind mapping, where I sit down with people and introduce them to the concepts I’ve learned and help them to think of themselves as software, using the fundamentals of engineering and AI to better their own thought patterns and life. I want to help people answer questions like “why do I think things that I don’t want to?”, “why does my mind race when I try to go to sleep”, or one of my favorites “how the hell do I remember stuff?”

For those interested, you can book a mind mapping session at atica.xyz/mindmapping
