Modality and Modularity
As I transition into a more stealthy approach, I’d like to share some advice and insight with you all.
Back in early 2009, I designed and handed over the blueprints for artificial intelligence. I essentially stepped away from that part of the industry and didn’t give it much thought, as I doubted anyone would actually build my computer. Since then, I’ve worked and consulted within the technology industry intermittently.
Recently, after developing a new vision and laying the foundation for my work on sustainability and climate change, I revisited the technology industry to understand its advancements. To my surprise, they had built my computer for me. This was a refreshing revelation, as I had witnessed the depth of knowledge, teams, networks, and global efforts involved in its creation.
I draw a parallel between the scope of this project and my vision for building a more sustainable future that protects both people and the planet. When I approached the university of Buffalo and requested $150 billion dollars to initiate my project, I wasn’t exaggerating. I recognized the need for a substantial financial backing, a war chest so to speak…sort of…and I wasn’t even considering my engagements with the technology industry.
I say “sort of” because I understood that even with that amount of money, it would be challenging to defeat every industry and its economic stakeholders on a global scale. Therefore, when I asked for $150 billion dollars, it wasn’t intended for immediate action but rather to secure the funds until after this initial phase was complete. This approach allows me to build what I intend to build without the immediate pressure of competing with existing projects that may not be sustainable or relevant in the long run.
In this new paradigm, two key concepts come to mind: modality and modularity. Building in this manner requires a dynamic approach, emotional and operational detachment from individual components, and the ability to interchange them rapidly. This is why I haven’t built anything yet. I want to avoid the time and resource-intensive nature of this phase and focus on laying the groundwork for the future.
Wishing everyone a happy New Year and good luck. I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you who have made this possible.
Warm regards, 🥶
