The world is being rewritten.

By a technology nobody fully controls, moving faster than anyone in charge can follow.

You're not the only one who sees it. And some people have started building a response.

See the plan ↓

We've already seen a preview.

Social media was our first encounter with AI — and it caught us flat-footed. Record teen anxiety. Elections swayed by rage bait. Truth became whatever gets the most clicks.

“We are worth more when we are addicted, distracted, outraged, and divided.” — Tristan Harris

AI is orders of magnitude more powerful — deployed with the same logic: move fast, let society sort out the damage.

But this time it’s moving faster. Trillion-dollar capital. Systems that decide who gets hired, who gets surveilled, who gets a loan — and soon, who lives and who dies. Autonomous weapons. Algorithmic courts. AI doctors with no accountability.

This has happened before ↓

The last time power concentrated like this — 1870 — corporations had private armies and children worked in coal mines.

Ordinary people spent seventy years building something underneath, until the moment was right to push. They restructured everything.

Unless.

Here’s the strategy ↓

Unless we stop chasing the ball — and start positioning for what's coming.

Since social media caught us off guard, every response has been reactive. The harm happens. Years pass. The regulation arrives too late.

We need to go where the ball will be. The movements that changed history ran two tracks at once:
Prevent

Fight to block the worst while there's still time. Legal challenges. Regulation. Structural pressure.

Prepare

Build infrastructure that catches people when the crisis hits anyway. Cooperatives. Networks. Systems.

Not one or the other. Both. Simultaneously.

Prevent — Stop the worst while there's still time
Children Being Harmed ▼

Multiple AI chatbot-related youth suicides since 2023, including 14-year-old Sewell Setzer III. Character.AI settled without trial — no binding safety precedent.

What's being done
  • Kids Online Safety Act passed Senate 91–3 — push for enforcement and expansion [source]
  • Character.AI lawsuit — establish binding precedent through litigation, not settlement
  • APA Health Advisory on AI chatbots — professional standards for AI interactions with minors [source]
  • EU AI Act classifies AI systems interacting with children as high-risk — mandatory safeguards [source]

Safety Laws Being Gutted ▼

AI companies writing rules before anyone else can read them. 60+ civil society organizations documented industry lobbying to gut the EU AI Act. Safety researchers silenced.

What's being done
  • Max Schrems / GDPR — one law student rewrote data rules for every tech company on Earth [source]
  • Chile — algorithmic transparency mandated for 1,000+ government agencies [source]
  • Netherlands SyRI ruling — 6 citizens killed a secret welfare surveillance algorithm in court [source]
  • AI Whistleblower Protection Act — US Senate backing protections for AI insiders [source]
  • Max Schrems proved this works — one student rewrote rules for every tech company.

Same story. Both tracks. Every time.

Intimacy Being Monetized ▼

AI companionship apps: $500M revenue in 2024. Replika charges $70/year for 'romantic' relationships. Our loneliness is becoming a product.

An AI Debt Bubble Is Building ▼

OpenAI burns $1.69 for every $1 earned — projecting $115B in cumulative losses through 2029. When the bubble bursts, the fallout will be global.

Infrastructure already being built
  • Credit unions — 67,137 globally, $3.8T in assets, community-owned and insulated from corporate collapse [source]
  • Community land trusts — Houston acquired 200+ properties post-Harvey; NYC has 50+ CLTs preventing displacement [source]
  • Open WebUI + Ollama — self-hosted AI that works without corporate cloud dependency [source]
  • Solidarity economy networks — RIPESS operates across 6 continents [source]
  • When the bubble pops, these structures will still be standing.
