Well there's been quite a backlash already, but I get the impression this is a well-motivated but perhaps a little naive attempt to do exactly what it says on the tin.
Some of the criticisms are harsh but fair, yet I think that anybody who takes the time to read the "white paper" and acknowledge the admirable dedication to building in the open will see there is genuine potential and passion in this occasionally mad project.
I love the energy and hope the (young) creators won't be too downhearted by the equal passion in some of the negative responses; a good indicator that the valid points about inherent AI and other bias have been listened to will be an updating of some of the language and soundbites used to sell this interesting project.
On a more personal response, I thought the articles I tried were really pretty good in terms of being "free from bias", with the obvious negative corollary that they were rather dry.
Bias is ok, it comes with passion often, it becomes a problem when it's not seen or overwhelms and controls.
The articles were also quite long, which may not be appealing drained of emotion and creativity; I think the At A Glance summaries will prove to be the most valuable. The pictures were mad, I liked them though.
Cool project overall, with the obvious issues noted.
Best of luck going forward!
- lucideer 4y ago> a well-motivated but perhaps a little naive I normally try and be positive / open to flawed ideas or initiatives but in this particular case I think describing it as "a little naive" massively understates it. Well motivated it might be, the naivety is gargantuan. This isn't a nice idea with some flaws, this is a fundamentally misguided idea at its core. Utterly irredeemable. I wish the authors luck in that I hope they can step away & move on to something more worthwhile without being hurt or becoming defensive about criticism. Given the level of backlash in the comments here, its understandable that may be tough to do, but I really wouldn't want to encourage them to continue.
