This is something that @Dr_JohnFletcher has been warning about for a while now.. Tacit Knowledge I'll admit, John opened my eyes to this as I hadn't previously given it too much thought.. Most people view their relationship with OpenAI and Anthropic as a one way thing.. We prompt the model with a problem and it gives us back an answer.. pretty simple But every time we interact with these models, we also reveal something about how we think What to try.. what to avoid.. why certain approaches fail.. the way we ask questions.. all that intuition that we've built through years of experience That is Tacit Knowledge.. Its the valuable, unwritten expertise that can't be found in papers or textbooks.. but its an extremely valuable ingredient when it comes to innovation Not every prompt instantly trains the model.. the deeper issue is that these massive AI companies are becoming embedded within millions of workflows And over time.. this gives them extraordinary visibility into where these valuable problems exist and how experts solve them It also gives them an insight into which industries are ready to be disrupted next Which means.. the very company supplying the intelligence could absorb enough knowledge and market insight to compete with the businesses, or even partners using it It then becomes a really powerful flywheel.. An expert uses a model > The model learns from the way they solved the problem > The company supplying the intelligence grows stronger capabilities > Those capabilities then become competing products against the expert or business using it Its a real issue that inevitably leads to all power in the hands of a few morally questionable centralised mega companies This is one of the core problems $TIG is trying to address.. #Prometheus is an open algorithm discovery system where swarms of AI agents explore, code and test thousands of ideas in parallel Experts are able to guide those agents with their own tacit knowledge.. But, the key part is.. Without having to publish or surrender the underlying expertise to the wider swarm or @tigfoundation.. which means the tacit knowledge itself doesn't need to be shared So the knowledge can still influence the algorithm produced.. but the expertise stays locally with the contributor Instead of that tacit knowledge being absorbed into a closed corporate flywheel.. $TIG's building an open one Private expertise from the human > AI agent discovery through #Prometheus > Which leads to better algorithms > They're independently benchmarked and validated > Rewards are then routed back to the contributors What gets shared is the breakthrough.. not the tacit knowledge that helped create it This results in the value flowing to the researchers and experts who helped create it.. rather than exclusively to these AI companies With the added bonus of their private tacit knowledge remaining with the contributor rather than becoming public property.. or being handed over to OpenAI or Anthropic The goal being rewarding those who are truly changing society for the better.. While preventing humanity's accumulated knowledge from being willingly handed over to these centralised companies who have the potential to abuse it for their own gain $TIG
