On the "broad casting" internet, YOU can message a million people.
On the "broad listening" internet, a million people can message back...
...and YOU can hear their collective reply.
In the background visualization:
YOU represent an individual in the network.
Multi-colored pulses show your message spreading across the network.
Grey pulses represent responses returning to you.
How it works:
Listen at scale using LLMs/statistics to summarize millions of replies.
to non-public information protected by privacy enhancing technology (FL, DP, etc.)
that's verified to be true by asking a million eye-witnesses and comparing their replies.
You can speak to a million people online, but you can only listen to one person at a time — only about information they can safely share — and you can't know if they accurately describe the world (i.e. are truthful). Consequently, the internet has too much information to process, much of it is false, and it's missing honest accounts of the personal (i.e. private) issues that really matter. These three challenges undermine society's most important institutions, such as:
Free speech is only as free as the freedom of others of listen. (but they can't)
Free markets are only as free as the ability for sellers to hear buyers' real needs (but they can't)
Free democracy is only as free as the ability for leaders to hear their voters real needs. (but they can't)
Listen at scale using LLMs/statistics to summarize millions of replies.
to non-public information protected by privacy enhancing technology (FL, DP, etc.)
that's verified to be true by asking a million eye-witnesses and comparing their replies.
Every person will speak to and listen to every other person (on earth) all the time, instantly, and for free.
Before you buy a product you'll ask every other person who ever bought it if it works.
Before a law is passed a democratic leader will talk with every person it might affect.
Before you make a decision you can ask every other person who made that decision whether it worked.
Before this vision can be a reality, a new generation of web developers needs to build the second half of the internet (using LLMs, PETs, and peer-to-peer technology). This is a tutorial for how to get started...
