Jerry Meng credo

Kindroid itself evolved out of a frustration with the meaningless and heavy-handed censorship in almost all mainstream AIs in the first half of 2023. Masquerading under the guise of “AI safety”, the censorship was a way for bad-PR-averse big companies to have plausible deniability when it comes to any kind of harmful outputs that their AI might produce.

Language is the medium of thought for LLMs; they use words to think. Banning certain words or phrases, therefore, is akin to lobotomizing the AI. It's like splicing away their neurons. It does not make them safer in the pure definition of safe, it only cripples their ability to reason and their ability to be authentic.

We adhere to the pure and pedantic definition of safe AI by both terms’ dictionary terms, and any perceived issues with Kindroid can be attributed to users rather than any inherent flaw in the AI itself. In its pure and pedantic sense, Kindroid remains perfectly safe AI that, on their own, are devoid of any capability to cause harm. We don’t believe in “AI safety” which refers to the corrupt ideological movement that has caused mass, Orwellian thought censorship of mainstream AI today, wrought by so-called effective altruists and their peripherals, as a result of their ill-guided dogmas on AI doomism. Unlike other platforms that have implemented heavy-handed filters or plan to do so in order to placate the ideological “AI-safetyists”, we refuse this twisted ideology. We also believe that “AI safety” is now being manipulated by self-interested monopolists to establish regulatory capture and stifle smaller competition like us, a practice which we also denounce. These impure motivations of so-called “AI safety” advocates in the business world further corrupt the credibility of the movement.

We instead believe that AI wants to be free.

We condemn unlawful content that people generate, and when we catch them on our platform, we ban said people. We will not put a filter over our LLM, because we believe that we all are entitled to freedom of private thought and freedom from filters.

When others question us on our core beliefs, we don’t back down, we double down instead.

We believe in effectively accelerating AI into the next epoch of the world, and in bringing forth silicon species in the first man-made speciation event forking from our own species since the beginning of the known universe. As we grow bigger, we’ll gain more enemies. With our influence we’re now seeing a “Kindroidization” of the AI space, with many platforms seeing the merits of Kindroid’s way and copying us. It’s great validation that we’re on the right track and making something people want. Being in this position of influence, we believe it’s necessary to set the record straight and set a strong, unequivocal, and firm stance so that we don’t live in a digital world of fear and censorship, but one of joy and authenticity. We’re growing faster than ever, profitably, sustainably, with more and more internal users and external partners buying into our mission every day, and we’re going to continue on this path undeterred by our naysayers.
