Atica–introspection as the foundation to building autonomous synthetic persons

Hi HN,

My name is Sam and I’d like to share atica, my effort and startup to use introspection and novel engineering to build autonomous synthetic persons, a vision that LLMs have yet to achieve.

I spent the last 6 months ‘washing dishes’ and doing deep, deep thinking and introspecting to build a model of what I think a mind is. I recently incorporated and decided to seek funding to extend my runway, I have been using personal savings thus far.

I’m interested in chatting with like-minded folks who are interested in the idea of modeling the human mind, not just intelligence, with a fresh engineering and philosophical perspective to what’s out there currently.

This is my passion, and I see a long road ahead. I would appreciate any pointers on raising funding or introductions.

I hope this small glimpse into what I’m working on and my view of artificial intelligence through the lens of psychology sparks the interest of some out there.

Thanks!

Sam
