A dream that I had last night involving AI presented an interesting concept
Last night's checked all those bullets. Of course I only remember snippets when I wake up.
I was driving through a large tunnel. I was driving one vehicle and a guy and a young woman were driving in a different vehicle. He was sort of directing our operation. I don't remember precisely what the operation was, but wasn't good - like we're trying to escape from something - what exactly I wasn't sure even in the dream. But my sense was that it was some kind of AI agent run amok.
We stopped and walked for a bit to check things out. I scounted ahead and came back. The guy then explained the AI research program that he was involved in at his university. This was the part that I found interesting enough to post to Hacker News.
They had a federated, competitive AI system. Instead of users interacting with a single app, they were interacting with several LLMs within a dashboard. Each LLM was sort of competing to give the best answer, and the user would choose one of them and copy and paste the results into whatever it was they were doing. The AI's were scored based upon how many times their answer was copied and pasted.
Anyway, I'm curious if such federated, competitive AI systems are a real thing.
