Welcome to UXMAL Discussions!

👋 Welcome!

We’re using Discussions as a place to connect with other members of our community. We hope that you:

• Ask questions you’re wondering about.
• Share ideas.
• Engage with other community members.
• Welcome others and are open-minded. Remember that this is a community we
  build together 💪.

To get started, comment below with an introduction of yourself and tell us about what you do with this community.

Join the Council

We are building on our own terms. To protect this work from corporate co-option during its fragile initial phase, we will be moving to a sovereign, self-hosted infrastructure shortly. The process to contribute is designed to build trust and ensure alignment.

For Alphas (Developers, Engineers, Technical Architects)

1. Review the Public Charter: qtbb.org Understand our mission, architecture, and rules of engagement. By joining us you are agreeing to uphold these community agreements.
2. Pass the Contribution Gate: Demonstrate your skills and alignment by completing a task from our public list.
   • Current Public Tasks:
   • Example: "Optimize our data-cleaning script for the Emotional First Aid dataset."
3. Earn Your Access: Successful contributors will be granted credentials to our private, self-hosted development and communication platforms. Show up to gain/maintain decision making privileges.

For Betas (Community Experts, Organizers, Healers)

Your domain expertise is what gives this AI its soul. Your onboarding is teaching you how to best use the tool we are creating. We will be helping you by adding options that teach you how to use the AI. Your job is just to use the AI and by doing so you will be part of the fine tuning (training) of the AI. We will create an AI with community ethics - not corporate, not just one person deciding what is ethical but a community.

1. Review the Public Charter: qtbb.org Understand our mission, architecture, and rules of engagement. By joining us you are agreeing to uphold these community agreements.
2. Join the Co-Design Wiki: Access our shared workspace to help build datasets, define expert behavior, and ratify the AI's constitution. (Coming Soon, i just have to finish setting it up on our website.)
   • Access the Beta Workshop Here: [Link coming soon] (Coming Soon, it is written i just have to record it and add text and audio to website.)

Here is a short guide to working with AI

Our Infrastructure is Our Manifesto.
We had planned not to use GitHub, Discord, or other extractive platforms but here we are on GItHub, mostly for access. Most coders have GitHub accounts but after we get a base model and committed coders (Alphas) we will move to a more secure coding platform. We did apply for a GitHub Nonprofit account which will allow us to make the repos private which we cannot do now so if that works out we might stay here. The ethical concept is to build our fortress with our own tools. Thus enters the debate if the masters house can be deconstructed with the masters tools or not.
🔗 If you use issue templates, link any relevant issue templates such as questions and community conversations to Discussions. Declutter your issues by driving community content to where they belong in Discussions. If you need help, here's a link to the documentation.

➡️ You can convert issues to discussions either individually or bulk by labels. Looking at you, issues labeled “question” or “discussion”.
