AngieOS

The AngieOS project has changed its status from PLANNED to ON-HOLD. This change is partially due to the project's recent rejection by YCombinator for the summer 2024 batch. Moreso, we believe that the market timing for AngieOS may be suboptimal. We look forward to continuing our work and securing funds for our first commercial project in the near future.

AngieOS, an AI project by CRS, was rejected by YCombinator for inclusion into its Summer 2024 batch. YCombinator, or YC, is a San Francisco based technology startup accelerator company. Each season, YC accepts a number of applicants and provides winners with funding and mentorship. Despite being rejected, the CRS is thankful to have had the opportunity to apply; and we look forward to consideration of YC in the future. Because the CRS believes in full transparency of its work, successes, and failures, we have decided to release a redacted version of the final application. The CRS will now consider whether the timing is right with respect to the AngieOS project. 

The object of this open letter is threefold: (1) to summarize the current state of artificial intelligence; (2) to address the widespread misunderstanding of artificial learning versus intelligence among prominent computer scientists and chatbot-makers; and (3) to explain how the CRS is uniquely positioned to develop true human-level artificial intelligence with its latest project – AngieOS – the world's first and only self-updating, self-aware artificial general intelligence operating system.
