Thank you for posting @hr1, upvote for you.
I love the core principles of this idea and how you express your own personal journey that lead you to this new way of thinking. I have been exploring the same ideas too. It does seem like a lot of us are only surviving instead of thriving; Trading our time for our living necessities, instead of trading our time to create that which we want and desire.
I would like to see this idea be able to connect with everyone on the earth. For all the people living in societies that seem to create an environment that has people endlessly sacrificing time working just to meet there basic needs.
I like AIsquat, how it is personalized to all people in the field of A.I. but I would like it to be as a branch from a tree that has many branches connecting all around the world but each personalized and unique in there own ways.
Since the essence of this is about being free from having to sacrifice your time for necessities, to better enable a persons ability to create in an undefined way, I was thinking a name like "freedom to create" or something along those lines. This would act as a virtual "base" for all the people wanting to create the same vision who are not physically connected. Having the core principles and a guide on how to start, in each persons local area, exactly what you are talking about doing.
Know that I am not telling you how or what to do with your project. Its more me wanting to see this idea expand in a way that inspires people to create it for themselves (myself included).
Motivating more people like you & I to want to have and create this in there local area. With the tools and step to be able to create it with complete confidence.
Yeah, it seems to me that people change the goal and its means. I would like to support those who see this and try to do it differently, do what they really want.
I would too like to see AI Squat as just one of many branches. But I think it's necessary to start small and be focused. Later we can build on that. Maybe we will become the root of this tree. And actually, in my opinion AI has the biggest potential to enable such a life to masses, but of course this is just my biased view.
But I am happy to hear you have similar intentions, even though in a different area (both geographically and thematically). We can share the experience, help each other..and prepare the soil for new seeds exactly as you described in the last paragraph.
Yeah starting has been a difficulty in these past, so props to you for creating the vision in your local area. I agree and its fits the quote, "act locally, think globally". Yeah, all it take is one person to start. When you manifest this space you are talking about and make an example to guide others, then this will definitely affect the masses.
I do have similar goals and i would join you physically if I were geographically closer like you said.
I am now beginning to realize that each one of us has the power to impact each other in a positive way, with a true creative expression of ourselves once by sharing it with others. What i realized is that i have been lacking sharing my creations with others.
I support you from afar. Keep on creating your vision and share it with ever person like there an old friend you havent seen in a long time, cheers!
