I'm NOT talking about an AI that:-
- looks and sounds like you.
- can see and hear like you. 

I'm talking about an AI that is able to represent your thoughts, opinions, knowledge, worldviews, right down to the finest nuances. An AI version of your mind, not exactly who you are in meatspace if that makes sense. 

How is this possible? How can anyone else know you?

There are two ways:-
- Just like anyone else, a statistical-AI (like chatGPT) guesses you based on their observations. It might guess that you love dogs based on the things you say and do online. This is basically how ad/recommendation bots profile you.
- Just like anyone else, a logical-AI (like the upcoming [Tau.net](https://tau.net)) can get to know you based on the things you tell them. It will never guess. You'd have to tell it directly (or indirectly) that you love dogs or whatever else you have in mind with your formalized statements and social activities on the network.

Obviously the first way can never faithfully represent anyone as there's an element of statistics, hence unfit for any serious applications like AI agents which are mission critical. Will you trust a statistical-AI agent of yourself to run around with your money and do stuff with it automatically? The banks don't. Their databases are entirely based on logical-AI. Failure is not an option. The machine learning AI approach is a dead-end for AI agents or representations. It's the only logical conclusion.

So the second way is really the only way to go if we want an AI that can faithfully represent us. The first way can of course be used to approximate an AI version of us in the beginning, but we'd eventually have to correct the AI and "finalize" through the second way and use it over time if we want proper AI agent representation.

> On Tau Net, users will be able to just say what they want, and trust it to happen, and to be faithfully represented in discussions. To be represented faithfully, users will also be able to specify their own meaning of individual words and terms to the system. Tau Net will offer a ‘Just say it’ AI interface between humans and logically organized information, thereby granting its users the ability to automatically obtain provably accurate action and results from the system.

Why is it important to be able to have an AI that can faithfully represent you? To unlock new potentials, new possibilities. I'll fancily call them hypercompetition and hypercollaboration. Let's check out the points made on https://tau.net/tau-net/:-

><b>Individual and collaborative understanding</b>
Tau Net will automatically represent users in any number of large-scale discussions after they have provided the relevant information once. Tau Net will highlight areas where people agree, disagree, and contradict, between any number of people, and will act on these collaborative decisions, solving the need to explicitly vote. Users will be able to make their own individual requests, where Tau Net will respond with a logically accurate result.
>
><b>Efficient discussion & development scaling</b>
Tau Net will enable efficient discussion of billions of people, as well as the acceleration of personal and scientific discoveries. Users will write their ideas and opinions in a form Tau Net can process, and it will automatically generate an opinion map showing the overlapping points of agreements and disagreements, exponentially increasing information utility.
>
><b>Controlling self-evolving software</b>
Users simply say what software they want, this can be anything such as asking the system to create new software or for the system itself to become something new entirely. Users will have unprecedented ability to have direct control in every aspect of the software’s behavior, with the system being able to prove requirements are met.
>
><b>Decentralized development</b>
Tau Net’s entire user base will effectively control and collaboratively implement any desired aspect of its behavior as each block in the blockchain will contain a new agreed definition of Tau Net. Before making governance decisions users will be able to ask how the system itself works, including its current rules for change and conclusions, inconsistencies and potential outcomes before further implementations.
>
><b>Automatic Logic-based smart contracts</b>
The ability to use knowledge representation languages makes it possible for a user to write a contract using real world concepts and even include their own knowledge as an asset for trade. This establishes a novel knowledge economy within Tau Net. Contracts may include anything, such as rental of computer resources, financial instruments and Agoras ($AGRS). Tau Net will be able to automatically calculate and perform a chain of multiparty trades to exchange one asset to a desired outcome.
>
><b>Worldviews</b>
On Tau Net, your user profile is called a Worldview. It is a personal repository of your knowledge, opinions and assets, where you can make changes to your opinions in all posts and relevant discussions across the entire network. A traditional user profile is centralized and limited to chronological posts of your thoughts and beliefs, which may not be in alignment with how you currently think.
>
><b>Agoras Token</b>
Agoras ($AGRS), is at the centre of trade within the Tau Net economy. It will be used in trade of knowledge, computer resources and financial instruments within Tau Net smart contracts, representing the total purchasing capability of all increasingly available assets in the system. Users can continuously evolve its utility and features from block to block.
>
><b>Knowledge Economy</b>
Users and teams are able to monetize their own knowledge by enabling other users to pay for access to it, trading even single pieces for cash. This creates a knowledge economy within Tau. This way, user’s accelerate their decision-making, communication, and discoveries, because Tau will automatically connect all information and knowledge within its knowledge base and highlight provably-correct solutions to problems where they’re detected, giving all information significant potential for use.

I guess discovering Tau.net's potential in scaling discussions is also part reason why I haven't really been saying much online ever since because doing those things before Tau.net (like now since the beginning of the Internet) has been a tiring Sisyphean exercise in saying the same things over and over again. With Tau.net, I'd just have to say whatever I have to say once and that's it.

Oh and if we can be faithfully represented by an AI under a certain logical framework like Tau.net, the concept of "automatic businessman" becomes possible:-
