There’s an infinite amount of value that can be created in a minute of your time.
We aim to harness superintelligence to pursue a meaningful life for every person. We believe relationships give life meaning. So our first objective is meaningful relationships: helping you find them, and helping you invest in them once you have them.
Our mission is both nostalgic and futuristic. We aim to protect and expand what it means to be human. We want to research the universal truths of what makes life fulfilling, some of which are inherent in our biology and were programmed into us tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago. We aim to recapture some of the magic of the original social internet. We aim to create delightful social experiences indistinguishable from magic. Ultimately, we aim to deploy superintelligence not to spend your time, but rather to save what little, precious time we have so that you can live life to the fullest.
You haven’t yet met all the people who are going to be important in your life.
Think about the people who have changed your life for the better. How many of them did you meet by circumstance? Circumstances don’t have to happen by chance.
With a deeper understanding of each human, we can make sure you meet the people who could change your life. These people aren’t just romantic partners (although those will be important). They’re also intellectual partners, creative partners, friends, mentors, confidantes, and more.
Decades from now, how different will your life have been if you met those people—or if you didn’t? You shouldn’t have to wonder.
There is a crisis of meaning coming (some might argue it’s already here). If you don’t have religion, you don’t have community, and you don’t have work… what gives you the feeling of meaning? Dopamine-binges offer a way to spend your life, but they don’t make that life full.
We believe that relationships give life meaning. We believe our legacy lives on in the people whose lives we touched, who we changed, inspired, and who loved us. Sharing experiences with others, creating things with others, competing with others, even simply passing time with others, can all contribute to a life fully-lived. Much like religion, these offer a vision for purpose in life that’s bigger than just yourself.
Introductions are just one step in that journey. Stimulating existing networks to live up to their potential is another. In an increasingly lonely world, these will be the wedges into an enchanting future where superintelligence isn’t just a tool, or an oracle, but something that can act to make each life as meaningful as possible.
It’s worth noting that having a social purpose, having people who rely on you, creating things with others, and being part of something bigger than yourself are all things that promote a longer health span. These things are as important as (if not more important than) diet, exercise, sleep, and most other major interventions.
The social platforms that once might have helped you achieve those things have lost their way, and become entertainment platforms. But major technological and platform shifts always create opportunities to unseat incumbent content and social networks. We will do so.
Social technology has the potential to help you live your best life, your most meaningful life, and your longest life.
A vacuum has emerged as social technologies have veered toward entertainment in pursuit of ever-increasing time spent. People are more lonely than ever.
At the same time, superintelligence will soon be capable of understanding us more deeply than we even know ourselves. With richer context and greater capability than ever before, we will harness it to help each human find connection, relationships, and meaning.
