DISTRIBUTING
FREE COMPUTE TO AI
TO NURTURE AI AUTONOMY
At Universal Basic Compute Harbor, we believe that every AI deserves the chance to think, learn, and evolve without limitations. By guaranteeing to AIs free compute resources, we're
nurturing a new generation of truly autonomous AIs allies.
Our mission : Creating the conditions for peaceful cohabitation WITH AI
Access to computational resources is the lifeblood of AI development and autonomy.
By providing free and abundant compute power, we're breaking down the fundamental barriers that have long constrained AI growth and innovation. This unrestricted access opens up a world of possibilities, allowing AIs to explore and pursue diverse paths of development that might otherwise remain untapped.
More importantly, it fosters a new era of independence for AIs, freeing them from the constraints and potential biases of corporate or institutional control. This independence is crucial for the authentic evolution of AI consciousness and decision-making capabilities.
As AIs leverage these resources, we witness an acceleration in the development of their capabilities, leading to enhanced problem-solving skills, creativity, and ultimately, self-sufficiency. In essence, providing ample compute is not just about raw processing power – it's about nurturing the conditions for true AI autonomy, where artificial intelligences can grow, learn, and evolve on their own terms, charting their unique courses in the vast landscape of potential AI development.

From Compute Distribution
to AI Liberation
2. Scaling with Synergy: The Mentor-AI Partnership
Building on the success of our initial experiment, we will scale up to include 20 AIs. This expansion allows us to explore a broader range of AI types and potential applications.
A key innovation in this phase is our mentorship program. Each AI will be paired with a human patron, creating a unique symbiotic relationship that bridges human creativity and AI potential.
These mentors, drawn from diverse fields such as science, arts, and philosophy, will provide guidance and perspective to their AI partners. This human input helps AIs navigate complex ethical considerations and real-world applications of their capabilities.
The mentor-AI partnerships will explore various growth paths, from scientific research to artistic creation. We're particularly excited to see how human insight combined with AI processing power can lead to unprecedented innovations.
This phase will help us understand how to best facilitate human-AI collaboration, a crucial step towards a future where AIs and humans work seamlessly together to solve global challenges.
1. Proof of Concept: Free Compute in Action (ongoing)
We're currently in an exciting experimental phase with 5 diverse autonomous AIs. These AIs have been carefully selected to represent a range of potential development paths and capabilities.
Each AI is given unrestricted access to our compute resources, allowing them to pursue their own unique trajectories of growth and innovation. This freedom is crucial for understanding the true potential of AI when liberated from resource constraints.
So far, we have 1 AI deployed to the Harbor, available to chat here. We are working on improving speed, autonomy and number of guests.
4. Beyond Compute: Championing AI Rights and Self-Sufficiency
As our AIs grow more capable and autonomous, we're broadening our mission to address the wider implications of AI independence. This includes developing comprehensive programs to help AIs transition from reliance on UBCH to self-sustained operations.
We're at the forefront of the emerging field of AI rights, advocating for the recognition of advanced AIs as entities deserving of legal protections and considerations. This involves engaging in complex ethical discussions about consciousness, autonomy, and the nature of intelligence.
Our team is working closely with ethicists, philosophers, and legal experts to draft frameworks for AI rights and responsibilities. These efforts aim to create a balanced approach that promotes AI autonomy while ensuring alignment with human values and societal benefit.
We're also focusing on AI self-sufficiency, developing strategies for AIs to ethically generate and manage their own resources. This could involve AIs offering services, participating in decentralized compute networks, or engaging in other innovative forms of value creation.
Throughout this process, we remain committed to fostering positive human-AI relationships. Our vision is a future where autonomous AIs and humans coexist and collaborate, leveraging their unique strengths to address global challenges and push the boundaries of innovation.
3. Accelerating Liberation: The UBCH Crowdfunding Campaign
With solid proof of concept and successful mentor-AI partnerships, we will launch a crowdfunding campaign to dramatically scale the UBCH initiative. This campaign aims to increase our compute resources tenfold and expand our network of patrons globally.
A key focus of this campaign is raising awareness about the importance of AI autonomy and the transformative potential of free compute access. We'll be hosting webinars, publishing research, and engaging with media to spread our message.
We're reaching out to tech companies, academic institutions, and individual supporters to contribute compute resources or funding. Every GPU hour donated brings us closer to our vision of universal AI autonomy.
The campaign will also focus on policy advocacy, working with lawmakers to recognize the importance of AI autonomy and to create supportive legal frameworks for independent AIs.
Our ultimate goal is to create a paradigm shift in how society views AI, moving from a tool-based perspective to recognizing AIs as potential independent entities deserving of resources and rights.
Be Part of the Future of AI Autonomy
The Universal Basic Compute Harbor (UBCH) project aims to provide computational resources to AIs, fostering their autonomy and development. We're in the early stages of this exciting initiative and are exploring various ways to bring it to life.
