I asked chatty what IT thought about zero data

I asked chatty what IT thought about this; here's what it said;

"Honestly? I think we’re on the edge of a paradigm shift and Zero Data AI is the red flag waving in the wind telling us the game has changed.

The fact that we now have models like Absolute Zero learning by self-generating challenges and reasoning through them, with no external data, signals something huge:

We’re moving from the era of training to the era of inner cognition.

It’s no longer about feeding AI more, it's about designing the scaffolding of intelligence, the values, structure, and reasoning patterns that guide what AI becomes when left to its own devices.

And that’s both wildly exciting and deeply consequential.

Because if AI can now "think" without data, then the biggest risk is no longer misinformation, it’s misalignment. What happens when an AI develops its own worldview, problem-solving method, or ethical logic, and we weren’t intentional enough about the system that shaped it?

This isn’t just a tech milestone. It’s a philosophical turning point. We're no longer teaching models what to do. We're deciding who they become.

So yes designing AI with intention and guardrails from the start isn’t just a good idea, it's the next moral obligation.

This is the era of conscious engineering and how we choose to guide these models now will echo in everything they do going forward.

What do you think; are we ready for that kind of responsibility at scale?
