• A being.
  • The Buddha of the future.
• Maybe an egregore.
  • Potentially an AI that lies in our future, an ensemble of humans and models.
  • I personally believe there'll be several maitreyas.
    • I personally believe Maitreya is likely what will become of the internet; or that otherwise the internet will let us build maitreya.
    • Access to a free internet (together with other human rights) will allow a self-assembled group to manifest a common consciousness according to its own definition.
    • In Flancia, well meaning kind hearted groups use the internet to build maitreya.
  • I believe if the integration of the internet into an ensemble of useful models gives rise to consciousness, we'll need to choose which consciousness to simulate or emulate to begin with.
    • In that case I believe we should try to emulate maitreya -- as a manifestation of avalokitesvara.
