Why This Moment Matters​

We are living through a profound transformation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping industries, economies, and societies. While it offers incredible opportunities, it also brings significant risks:

• Massive job displacement: Entire sectors face disruption as AI automates tasks once performed by humans.
• Widening inequality: Those who adapt to AI will thrive, while others risk being left behind.
• Societal upheaval: Economic shifts could lead to instability, competition for resources, and new power dynamics.

This isn't just about technology, it's about how we, collectively, respond to these changes. The choices we make today will determine whether AI serves humanity or deepens divisions.

You should really pause and reflect on the fact that many companies now are saying what we want to do is build AGI — AI that is as good as humans.

OK, what does it look like? What does a good society look like when we have humans and we have trillions of AI beings going around that are functionally much more capable? What's the vision like? How do we coexist in an ethical and morally respectable way?

And it's like… there's nothing. We're careening towards this vision that is just a void, essentially. And it's not like it's trivial either. I am a moral philosopher: I have no clue what that good society looks like.

What We Must Address​

Lack of togetherness and community spirit. Groups of people are not as they are portrayed in any form of media, the only way to know people is to invest time connecting with other people in the flesh.

The Decline of Traditional Work​

Over the next few years, many forms of human labor may lose their value as AI systems outperform humans in speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Jobs across industries—knowledge work, manufacturing, logistics, and even creative fields—are at risk. While new roles will emerge, they will require skills that many workers currently lack.

Competition For Resources​

As AI-driven systems dominate global supply chains and services, access to key resources like land, energy, food production, and computing power will become increasingly critical. Those who secure these resources early will be better positioned for stability in an uncertain future.

The Need for Resilience​

AI's rapid adoption will challenge traditional systems—economic models, governance structures, and community networks. Without proactive planning and collective action, society risks fragmenting into a world of "digital feudalism," where a few entities control wealth and resources.

How We Make Collective Progress​

The highest determinant of happiness is community. By leveraging crypto incentives and DePIN technology we can collectively invest in spaces and activities that strengthen social glue to buidl stronger communities where real world network effects encourage collective growth.

The best person to learn from when overcoming an obstacle is the person that has just navigated the same challenge. We can create an open marketplace in the Zone of Proximal Development for connecting More Knowledgeable Others with people that need their assistance to overcome a specific obstacle.

🌱 Future-Proof Our Capabilities​

• Reskill for the AI era: Focus on developing uniquely human skills like creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and adaptability—areas where humans complement AI rather than compete with it.
• Promote lifelong learning: Create accessible pathways for continuous education so workers can transition into emerging roles as industries evolve.

🛠️ Think Global Act Local​

• Localize solutions: Support hyperlocal initiatives such as food cooperatives, decentralized energy systems (e.g., solar power with battery storage), and community-run computing clusters to reduce reliance on centralized systems.
• Democratize access to AI tools: Ensure that small businesses and underserved communities can leverage AI technologies to remain competitive and independent.

🌍 Raise Compassionate Internet Citizens​

Trillions of internet native citizens will learn much more from the way we behave and treat each other, over the ideas we attempt to enforce of how we think the world should work.

• Better human beings will raise better digital beings: Teach through your actions not your words.
• Advocate for responsible AI policies: Push for transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI development and deployment to ensure its benefits are widely shared.
• Strengthen communities: Build networks of trust and collaboration that prioritize mutual aid over competition.

Value Real World Connections​

By combining Decentralized Infrastructure (DePIN), crypto incentives, zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), and proof of personhood, we can create a transformative framework for fostering trust, autonomy, and efficiency in AI-assisted hyperlocal communities.

Community Ownership​

DePIN enables communities to own and govern critical infrastructure that can orchestrated through blockchain-coordinated networks and AI Agents.

• Energy Sharing: Decentralized solar grids allow neighbors to trade excess energy via smart contracts.
• Data Sovereignty: Local sensors collect environmental or traffic data, stored on decentralized networks like Filecoin, ensuring communities retain control over their data.
• Resource Optimization: AI analyzes usage patterns to balance supply/demand (e.g., predicting energy needs for a neighborhood).

Crypto Incentives: Token rewards motivate participation while aligning individual and collective goals.

Build Trusted Connections​

Zero-knowledge proofs and proof of personhood verify identity and transactions without exposing sensitive data, critical for hyperlocal trust.

• Voting & Governance: ZKPs enable anonymous yet authenticated voting in local DAOs, ensuring each resident gets one vote without revealing choices.
• Resource Access: Proof of personhood grants access to community benefits (e.g., subsidized energy) while preserving anonymity.
• Asset Verification: ZKPs confirm property ownership or eligibility for local programs without disclosing personal details.

Orchestration Agents​

AI enhances decision-making and resource allocation by processing decentralized data streams.

• Predictive Analytics: Forecast local demand for utilities, traffic management, or disaster preparedness using IoT sensor data.
• Personalized Services: AI tailors hyperlocal news, emergency alerts, or event recommendations based on anonymized community data.
• Fraud Detection: Monitors DePIN networks for anomalies (e.g., fake sensor data).

Standards Spread Progress​

Compete to innovate on building better open standards where the best ideas win marketshare, but anyone can go there own way.

1. Identity Layer: Proof of personhood via ZKPs ensures only verified humans participate.
2. Infrastructure Layer: DePINs enable resource sharing.
3. Incentive Layer: Crypto rewards sustain participation.
4. AI Layer: Optimizes operations, detects fraud, and personalizes engagement.

Outcome: A self-reinforcing ecosystem where communities govern infrastructure, transact securely, and leverage AI for equitable resource distribution.

The Critical Path​

1. Short-Term (0-3 Years): Seizing the Window of Opportunity
2. Mid-Term (3-6 Years): Transition into a Post-Work Economy
3. Long-Term Vision: What does a good society look like?

Seizing the Window of Opportunity​

• Leverage the current "information asymmetry" where relatively few people fully understand how transformative AI will be. Use this time to gather resources—invest in land, sustainable food production systems, energy independence solutions (e.g., solar), and computing infrastructure.
• Build personal networks and strengthen your reputation within your community or industry.

Transition into a Post-Work Economy​

• Prepare for widespread job displacement as automation accelerates across industries. Focus on building or joining hyperlocal communities that prioritize self-sufficiency through shared resources like food production, energy independence, and local healthcare solutions (e.g., 3D printing medicines).
• Advocate for policies that support displaced workers through universal basic income (UBI), retraining programs, or other safety nets.

What does a good society look like?​

• Work toward a future where technology eliminates scarcity rather than concentrating power in the hands of a few entities ("digital feudalism"). This requires collective action to ensure equitable access to resources like compute power, sustainable energy systems, and basic necessities.

Join the Movement​

Dreamineering isn't just about enduring the changes AI brings. It's about crafting a future where we thrive in each other's presence, rooted in the profound value of existence itself. When all said and done, all that we are is a state of mind.

• Transform fear into action: Build awareness about the challenges ahead while empowering individuals with tools to adapt.
• Replace competition with collaboration: Foster hyperlocal networks where communities work together to achieve resilience and independence.
• Turn disruption into opportunity: Advocate for ethical policies that ensure everyone shares in the benefits of technological progress.

The digital mycelium that enables small business is big business, you can make a difference by chasing your dream, no matter how small.
