AI, decentralized systems, and the technologies that redistribute power. Not as an observer — as someone who has been here before and knows what the inflection point looks like.
I have lived through a technology shift before — from the inside, not as an observer. In 1996, I helped build infrastructure for something that eventually changed the balance of power between a regime and its people.
AI is that moment again. Faster. Larger. And with far less room for error.
The question is still the same: who controls the information layer, and what are they building with that control?
This is the work I am here for.
