Humans work at companies, they acquire and allocate capital. And humans communicate via memes and information propagation. And our goal was to have a sort of viral optimistic movement that is aware of how the system works fundamentally. It seeks to grow. And we simply want to lean into the natural tendencies of the system to adapt for its own growth.
We see Iyak as a sort of meta-heuristic, a sort of very thin cultural framework from which you can have much more opinionated forks, right? Fundamentally, we just say that what got us here is this adaptation of the whole system based on thermodynamics, and that process is good and we should keep it going. That is the core thesis.

Everything else is, okay, how do we ensure that we maintain this malleability and adaptability? Well, clearly not suppressing variance and maintaining free speech, freedom of thought, freedom of information propagation. and freedom to do AI research is important for us to converge the fastest on the space of technologies, ideas, and whatnot that lead to this growth.

And so ultimately, there's been quite a few forks. Some are just memes, but some are more serious, right? Vitalik Buterin recently made a DIAC fork. He has his own sort of fine tunings of IAC.

I would say that it's trying to find a middle ground between EAC and sort of EA and EA safety. To me, like having a movement that is opposite to what was the mainstream narrative that was taking over Silicon Valley was important to sort of shift the dynamic range of opinions. True. It's like the balance between centralization and decentralization.

The real optimum is always somewhere in the middle. But for EAC, we're pushing for entropy, novelty, disruption, malleability, speed, rather than being conservative, suppressing thought, suppressing speech, adding constraints, adding... too many regulations slowing things down. We're trying to bring balance to the force, right? The systems... Balance to the force of human civilization, yeah.

It's literally the forces of constraints versus the entropic force that makes us explore, right? Systems are optimal when they're at the edge of criticality between order and chaos, right? Between constraints, energy minimization and entropy, right? Systems want to equilibrate, balance these two things. And so I thought that the balance was lacking.

And so we created this movement to bring balance.
