Hello,

In a world obsessed with productivity, we've traded passion for performance and creativity for compliance.

The Perpetual Motion System, a dystopian construct, takes this obsession to its extreme, transforming humans into mere cogs in a machine of efficiency.

Quantifying every action and rewarding output over innovation promises a world of unparalleled productivity.

But at what cost? Can a society built on perpetual motion sacrifice its soul to pursue progress?

I am running a new experiment, “The Wild Intelligence Bench,” to build high-performance systems in the context of AI dystopia, and I’d like you to be involved.

Please learn more here.

Get involved in the conception of our evaluation system.

The Perpetual Motion

The Perpetual Motion transforms humans into mere cogs in a productivity machine, prioritizing output over well-being.

Relentlessly quantifying human effort and imposing rigid metrics fosters a culture of fear and competition, stifling creativity and innovation.

In this dystopian reality, individuals are reduced to data points, their worth determined solely by their capacity for continuous production rather than their intrinsic value as human beings.
