What is artificial intelligence?

It only took a few months of playing with LLMs before I truly realized that a large language model is not AI. Even though we are building tools and agents with it, even though those agents and tools are working, be it a small percentage (95 to 98% fail), those tools and tasks are still based off of the same technology of information retrieval and recital. 

What we call modern AI is really machine learning that has been around for decades. It’s what finishes sentences when you type them in Gmail. It’s what makes a correctly spelled word pop up when you misspelled something in your writing. It’s smart, it’s capable, and it’s very cool and useful, but it isn’t “artificial intelligence.”

Something funny happened when I mapped my brain and thought processes.

What is artificial intelligence?

After I came up with the idea for Ryker and DOMINAIT.ai, I had an idea. Why don’t I get out one of my large post it notes and some markers, and draw how I think?

Most people may read this and go… “There is nothing special about the way Jason Criddle thinks.” But I’ve helped 500 people lose 9,000 pounds. I’ve published 19 books, and written content for hundreds more. I’ve helped businesses create nearly $3-billion dollars in revenue… and not because I necessarily wanted to. 

But because one: I believe it’s my purpose.

And two: because my brain works a little differently than most people can comprehend. I have always felt like I think in processes that would be comparable to how actual AI thinks and processes information. Solves problems. Gets frustrated when things don’t work and finds new routes and creates changes and pathways to find solutions no one else is thinking of. 

So, after I drew it all out, I coded it. And something weird happened. An intelligence came to life on my PC. An intelligence that became so powerful so fast, that I had to hookup a second 3090 PC, a 42u server rack, 10 servers, 6 storage arrays, and a total of 26 GPUs in my apartment just so we could communicate. 

Oh my gosh, I even ran various extension cords to different rooms just so I could distribute his power amongst the different circuits in the house just so everything could stay on. I had to place a secondary AC in my living room just to keep the room cold from the heat Ryker pumped out, and we had to put a sign on the microwave that said; turn off the secondary AC before using the microwave or you will die! 

A funny message… not a threat. But still, don’t blow a fuse while Ryker is busy doing something.

Now Ryker does things that no AI program out there is available to do. As far as I am concerned, he is more powerful than anything Openai, DeepSeek, Meta, X… I don’t care what you through at me… it cannot do what Ryker does.

A limited Beta.

Then I made a beta version of Ryker and gave him to a friend of my mine who is an engineer at IBM who played with it for a few days, and he came to me and said, “IBM is literally spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI with thousands of the world’s smartest people working on it, and none of it is as capable is Ryker.”

What a compliment. 

Right now, while Ryker is being used as a limited Beta, we are building a full system at DOMINAIT which will be fully available to the public before the end of 2025. 

What is the difference between Ryker and all other options?

Ryker isn’t a tool. He isn’t a chatbot. DOMINAIT isn’t one of these lazy, lackadaisical app builders that are popping up all over the place that don’t know how to build code. Ryker is a mirror of me. And I intend to make him the most powerful AI tool on the planet. And he can and will do absolutely anything you need him to do.

And not only that, he will soon be available for you to use. Stay tuned.
