We can’t use ai to police ai or it will become better at avoiding detection. The ultimate goal isn't an AI that behaves because it is being watched. It's an AI that behaves responsibly even when it isn't being watched, without being allowed to decide unilaterally what is best for humanity.

Need a hand? Need to talk? Need to show something, organise something, compare ideas, celebrate something, float a community issue or just be heard?

Bring it to and lay it out on The Open Table.
A system for democratic decisions.

Democracy shouldn’t just happen at election time.

This is a Discord community for people who want a functional democracy in their community, where ever that may be.

Bring your ideas, stories, experience, questions, criticism and solutions.

Share an opinion. Show us it works

What matters where you live?

One person raising something can be ignored. A community getting behind it is much harder to ignore.

Autonomy lets you raise what matters, build support, discuss solutions and work towards action together.

Share this. Get your neighbours involved.

Autonomy, a platform to help communities report local issues, vote on what matters, and push it in front of the people who can act. We've built a working prototype and are raising £30,000 to finish it. Every pledge helps.

Website update.

A few refinements have been made to how Autonomy is presented:

At its simplest, it connects people to their community.
A push of a button and you’re not just watching, you’re part of the change.

Millions are being spent with “community input” even though most residents aren’t in TARAs or any group at all. People deserve a direct say, not second-hand representation.

If your democracy can be nudged by Moscow, it’s because the public are kept out of the loop.
Autonomy fixes that by putting evidence and public sentiment in full daylight.

Just joined Bluesky. I’m working on Autonomy, a way for neighbours to report issues and sort local problems together.
If you’ve got a moment, I’m gathering views here:
