The emergence of DeepSeek is considered a pivotal moment toward the era of 'Peer to Peer AI', as stated by Michel Bauwens.
DeepSeek democratizes access to advanced AI and knowledge, potentially leading to a different paradigm.
Although not the first open-source AI model, DeepSeek is compared to AI's 'Sputnik moment' for its implications.
The importance of developing AI collectively and transparently is highlighted, aiming for an AI created by humanity for humanity.
Bauwens suggests that AI can empower P2P production, enabling knowledge to be available to working classes in cosmo-local productive communities.
The potential of open-source AI models to offer private, secure, and personalized AI options is recognized for future developments and data management.
The thesis of 'Brahmin workers' symbolizes a spiritual worldview of transitioning cycles and a call for a self-aware human group.
Bauwens proposes a third scenario, the 'Mid-wingers', advocating for smart mutualization and human-friendly AI to reach a steady state relation with the natural world.
Despite uncertainties, the collaboration aims to explore bridging world history, transitions, spirituality, and modern technology in creating hope for the future.
Efforts and collaborations are underway to delve into the transformative potential of open-source AI and address the challenging global scenarios we face.
