Building the OS for the Future of Work
Arcadia Global
> Both the utopic and historic memes apply.We are a technology company researching human and artificial intelligence, their dynamics and how those can be applied to build the future of work and business.
We take these complex systems and distill them into simple tools that enable users to exchange learning and work interactions with peers from both worlds, and turn them into real-world value.
People already know what AI can do for them, but they seldom ask themselves what they can do with AI. It’s just too abstract still, even for us geeks.
Our thesis
> The Future of Work is not AI replacing humans, but humans becoming a company by themselves. Consequently, the Future of Business is about scaling: not replacing hands, but multiplying them.A bidirectional approach between human and artificial interactions can lead to better training data, optimized tools, and unique insights from areas of knowledge usually not explored in research.
We were born into the problem
> When the team has a hyperlexic savant -the closest to an LLM you can get in meatspace- and other assorted neurodivergent talent, the only why is: why not.We approach human intelligence from a totally different point of view, in situ, one that is grounded in genuine curiosity, actual experience, and constant awe.
LLMs can be the biggest component in a system of actual artificial intelligence, but it will be a system. There’s lots more to research and discover to get us there.
It’s like thinking in the ’80s that a terminal was going to be the final expression of computing. And it kinda had become that, arguably, but that wasn’t the whole story.
That’s where pragmatism comes from
> We don't want to build a research lab that produces papers nobody uses, nor a studio that simply implements whatever technology happens to be popular.- We experimentWith human and artificial intelligences
- We buildSimple machines and services, the unix way.
- We put things in people's handsTools, resources, opportunities, ideas.
- We learn from what happensFeedback and QA always baked in.
- We turn discoveries into IRL valueThey become businesses, services, and infra.
Do you want to know where this is going?
> Yeah, we wonder that too...Since we are working on the future of so many things, it would be silly to pretend to know where any of them will be, much less the inherent combination of interactions across different fields.
And you are not alone. We have some friends who provide incubation, resources and access; they don’t know either, but they want to help us discover what’s there.
For now, we’re building the infrastructure, knowledge and team to let us discover what this new economy will actually look like. Do you feel you’ll fit there? Reach out!
