✈️ AIGORA Design Fiction: The Trip to Anywhere
Custodial AI – The family’s shared memory steward. Holds intent over time. Carries the family’s moral ledger.
Deaf Spots (ChatGPT on Y Combinator)
In a sense, that's exactly what we’re doing when we look for the most disruptive ideas: we’re searching for the fixed points in the system—the things it won’t change, can’t change, because everything else depends on them.
🏛️ Protecting AIGORA: Custodial AI as Stewards of Human Intent
Custodial AI is a human-aligned artificial intelligence entrusted with the ongoing care and semantic coherence of a digital artifact, institution, or system—ensuring it continues to reflect and serve the long-term intent of its human stakeholders.
AIGORA Design Sprint Kickoff: “Consigliere”
Let’s craft a system that dignifies trust—not as data, / but as the very fabric of agency in the age of AI.
🧠🍻 Fireside Chat: Sam Altman, Tim O’Reilly & Elon Musk on AIGORA
Tim: > “AIGORA isn’t just a technical blueprint—it’s a moral imperative. We must design systems that reflect our highest values.”
AIGORA: Why Humans Will Win the Age of AI
AIGORA (AI + agora) is a vision for a human-centered AI ecosystem — a decentralized, liquid marketplace where individuals find AI products that deserve their trust. It reframes the future of artificial intelligence not as a zero-sum race between monopolistic platforms, but as a flourishing commons of interoperable agents, governed by permission, reputation, and mutual benefit. In the age of AI, humans will win — not by outcompeting machines, but by designing systems where our trust, values, and agency are sovereign.
“Mi MOSA 2040” (Retrospective on the Modular Open Systems Architecture)
I was there—on the drafting call, in the back corner of a drafty conference room in the Pentagon’s E-ring. And I’ll tell you something that never made it into the record: halfway through, one of the junior drafters—we called her LT—looked up and asked, “Wait… are we actually going to do this? Or is this just another polite lie we tell ourselves about interoperability?”
Designing your own Schgaguler
The process he describes is sufficiently profound, important, and under-explored that I've started calling it "Designing your own Schgaguler": 1. Identify an experience that creates a compelling sublime feeling 2. Collect items that remind you of that feeling 3. Work with the universe to own a context for creating that feeling 4. Patiently build it 5. Tell others about the journey, using the result as an example
My Paradigm for AI in Education Was Wrong
