David Shapiro
David's work mapping the ethical and societal shift toward a post-labor economy directly informs the core mission of AI-Proof. His lectures were instrumental.Dave, your review & feedback would be greatly appreciated. Private or public.
Mo Gawdat
The AI-Proof brand is structured to be the "lifeboat" built to navigate the "hell before heaven" of AI disruption, as Mo might say. I believe his predictions are sound (50%+ knowledge worker displacement risk) Would love to hear Mo's insights on the overall AI-Proof vision.+ a part of me dreams that this would reignite his Moonshot CEO Mode by some miracle and he would step in or advise. 😁aiproof.love is redirecting to Emma
Luiss Rossman
The whole premise stands on building a data union and collective dataset which remains secure and private to the user with maximum customization over data access. I can't think of a better person to ask to sanity-check this aspect and tell us how it would be achievable, what to adhere to, etc.In short, we need a CTO perpective.
Louiss, can you help us shield the data of our future users from risk?
yanis varoufakis
AI-Proof is the "practical toolkit" to dismantle technofeudalism that Mr Varoufakis describes. His guidance and support would be invaluable.
Emad Mostaque
I would like to align our "AI Politician" political instrument with Emad's "AI by the people, for the people" motto. I think the "AI Politician" is a suitable and scalable framework for his vision. Could you guide us a bit Emad?More on button click...

The introduction of data dividends would be a "fundamental rewiring" of the economy that directly tackles the wealth inequality Gary critiques. We could model this with some economist buddies of his and run some simulations to check viability.I am open to advice on how to shape and leverage the initiative to contribute to your cause Gary.
David Shapiro
Message I sent to David:Hi David,We corresponded briefly a while back, and I mentioned I was working on conceptual solutions for the societal shifts AI is accelerating. I wanted to follow up because I’ve now consolidated those abstract ideas into a concrete, actionable framework and produced video content to communicate it.Your work on the post-labor economy and the coming "meaning crisis" was a core inspiration for this initiative. I believe I have designed a practical, bottom-up system to address these exact challenges, and I would be honored to get your feedback.In short, the AI-Proof Initiative proposes:An Economic Engine for Data Sovereignty: A system to create a "people's UBI" through "data dividends." It's an on-demand economy where individuals are paid instantly for their unique cognitive work and attention, turning their data into a personal asset rather than a corporate resource. This is our answer to the income crisis.An Engine for On-Demand Purpose: The system leverages the collective dataset to identify market gaps in real-time. An AI can then generate tailored, fulfilling job opportunities and even entire business plans for individuals or groups seeking work, directly addressing the meaning crisis you've detailed.I have detailed the interwoven economic and political aspects of this in two videos:The Economic Framework (12 min): https://youtu.be/V1qkaetqdKI
The Political Framework (10 min): https://youtu.be/DHH1vhtw_rUI know you are incredibly busy, but as a foundational thinker in this space, your critique would be invaluable. I am not asking for a meeting, but I would be incredibly grateful for your honest feedback on whether this framework seems plausible and resilient enough to tackle the problems we both see coming.Thank you for your time and your foundational work.
All the best,Daniel

Mo Gawdat
To Mo's Speaking Team,This is a request not for a standard keynote, but for a private strategic briefing with Mo on a project built directly upon his critical warnings about AI's societal disruption.My name is Daniel Bulla, founder of the AI-Proof Initiative. Mo has powerfully articulated the coming "hell before heaven", the mass job displacement and meaning crisis. I have taken this as a direct call to action and have spent years architecting the "lifeboat" he has stated is so desperately needed.My initiative is a practical, open-source framework designed to provide:Economic Stability: A "people's UBI" funded by "data dividends," allowing individuals to reclaim the value of their data and cognitive work.Renewed Purpose: An AI-driven system that identifies market gaps to create new, tailored, and fulfilling jobs on demand, directly addressing the meaning crisis.To underscore the seriousness and viability of this work: I am already in discussions with the C-suite of The Adecco Group (a Fortune 500 company) regarding a separate AI-era adaptation platform I designed, and I have pitched the political framework of the AI-Proof Initiative to DiEM25, the pan-European movement founded by Yanis Varoufakis.I am building a necessary response to the crisis Mo foresees, and his strategic guidance on resilience, inclusivity, and global coordination would be invaluable. I would be honored to arrange a brief, complimentary virtual session to present our blueprint and seek his feedback.Thank you for considering this important request.Sincerely,
Daniel Bulla

louiss Rossman
Louis,Your "Make your profile picture a Clippy" movement perfectly captured the core violation of the modern internet: our personal data is being mined without our meaningful consent to build systems that will ultimately replace us. It was a brilliant protest. I believe I have built the proactive, architectural solution to that protest.My name is Daniel, founder of the AI-Proof Initiative. We are building the open-source infrastructure for a parallel digital economy, one founded on the principle of genuine digital ownership. Instead of just fighting the existing broken system, we are creating a new one designed to make the old one obsolete.The entire initiative is built on a user-owned Data Union, and I've spent years designing the blueprint. Here’s how it works:The Economic Engine - The "On-Demand Public Dataset Economy": The core is a Q&A feed that pays users for their cognitive work and attention. Companies, researchers, and even AIs can pose questions to a specific demographic, and users are paid instant "data dividends" for their answers. This turns data from a liability into a high-value personal asset, creating a bottom-up, people-led UBI.The Security Layer - The "Personal AI Agent": Each user has a personal AI that acts as a secure vault and broker for their data. It manages permissions, anonymizes information, and ensures no data is shared or sold without explicit, granular user consent. This is the technical enforcement of ownership.The Market Strategy - The "AI-Proof Franchise": We will systematically recapture data flows from Big Tech by launching fairer, open-source alternatives (e.g., aiproof.music, aiproof.taxi, aiproof.email) that are built on radical transparency. These services won't exist to extract value, but to serve users and funnel the data they generate back into their own sovereign data vaults.This is not just a concept. It's a movement gaining traction with key thinkers who are fighting the same battle on different fronts. I've pitched this framework to DiEM25, the pan-European political movement founded by economist Yanis Varoufakis, as a tangible tool to fight the "technofeudalism" he describes. On the corporate front, I'm also in discussions with the C-suite of The Adecco Group (a Fortune 500 company) about a separate AI-era adaptation platform I designed.This combination of radical political alignment and serious corporate engagement is why I’m reaching out to you. The legitimacy of this entire initiative rests on one thing: the system's security and its technical guarantee of user sovereignty must be unimpeachable.Frankly, we need a CTO-level perspective from someone who has been in the trenches and understands not just the technology, but the philosophy of ownership. Your perspective on how to architect this system to be truly decentralized, censorship-resistant, and secure would be invaluable.I've detailed the blueprint in two videos on my YouTube channel, which I invite you to review at your convenience:Blueprint Videos: youtube.com/@aiproofcompanyMy ask is not for a formal commitment right now, but for your initial critique. We need people like you to stress-test this model. Whether that could evolve into a more formal advisory role is an open question, but for now, your honest, no-fluff feedback is what matters most.Would you be open to a brief call to discuss the architecture and see if this is a fight you'd be interested in helping us win? If you would like to mold this into a continuation of your Clippy fight, I am absolutely open. Can't think of a better person to assign the role of CTO to than you, along with significant influence over the initiative. I just really think this should be a thing...In the fight for genuine ownership,Daniel Bulla

Yanis Varoufakis
Message I sent to DiEM25 (Yanis' movement):My name is Daniel, and I am the founder of the AI-Proof Initiative. I am writing to you today not just as a technology strategist, but as a new and committed member of DiEM25, deeply inspired by the movement's mission and Yanis Varoufakis's vital analysis of our systemic crisis.I have followed your work on the imperative to democratize Europe and, most critically, your diagnosis of "technofeudalism" and the rise of "Cloud Capital." You have correctly identified that the ultimate crisis is the collapse of democracy, where popular anger is prevented from translating into meaningful change, and that we now exist as "digital serfs" producing immense value for unaccountable platform monopolies.In response to this, I have spent years developing and architecting what I believe is the practical, operational vehicle to challenge and ultimately dismantle this system from the bottom up. The AI-Proof Initiative is not just a theory; it is a comprehensive, open-source framework designed to be a direct, actionable implementation of DiEM25's vision for a Digital Commonwealth and a post-capitalist economy.The initiative is built on two core, interwoven engines:The Economic Engine to End "Cloud-Serfdom": We have designed an "on-demand custom public dataset economy" that directly flips the extractive model of Big Tech. It functions as a people-owned infrastructure where every user is paid instantly for their cognitive work and data contributions through "data dividends." This creates a proactive, people-led Universal Basic Dividend (UBD), funded by reclaiming the value that is rightfully ours. It transforms citizens from passive "consumers of public services" back into sovereign economic agents. Video Explainer - Economic Engine (YouTube)The Political Engine for "Technological Sovereignty": To directly counter the "democracy-free zone," we have designed the "Voice of the People" AI. This is a system that trains national AI models on the collective reasoning and nuanced opinions of their citizens. Citizens are paid through the economic engine to contribute to civic discourse, creating a powerful tool for direct democracy and building a collective intelligence that is owned by and aligned with the people, not the technocratic elite. It provides a direct channel for popular will, bypassing the captured state institutions you've critiqued. Video Explainer - Political Engine (YouTube)These two aspects (political & economic) intertwine in a synergistic fashion and are poised to make real impact.The entire AI-Proof ecosystem is designed to be a democratically governed public good, echoing DiEM25's own internal structures like All-Member Votes and the Validating Council. It is built to contain power and prevent co-option.I am not merely seeking an endorsement. I am offering this entire framework to the movement. I believe the AI-Proof Initiative can serve as a powerful, tangible vehicle to energize our pan-European base, providing a clear and hopeful path to achieving our goals. I am fully willing to align and integrate this initiative with DiEM25's strategy, as I believe our missions are one and the same.I would be grateful for the opportunity to arrange a brief introductory call with members of your policy, strategy, or technology teams to explore this potential collaboration in more detail.In solidarity,Daniel

EMAD MOSTAQUE
To Emad and the Intelligent Internet Team,I reached out some time ago regarding a separate AI endeavor and was grateful for your team's quick response. That initial concept has since evolved into a far more ambitious project, and I'm reaching out again because its mission is now in near-perfect alignment with the vision you've laid out for the Intelligent Internet. (and I am building in public, no more secrecy and guardkeeping)Your whitepaper on the "Last Economy" and the need for a sovereign, Proof-of-Benefit layer is the most accurate diagnosis of what's required to avert the "revenue-to-evil curve." While you are architecting the core protocol for this new age, I have been conceptualizing the application layer and socio-economic engine designed to bring it to the masses.The AI-Proof Initiative is a tangible, open-source framework that directly implements your vision:Your "Universal Basic AI (UBAI)" -> AI-Proof "people-led Universal Basic Dividend (UBD)": I've designed an on-demand economy where users are paid "data dividends" for their cognitive work. It's a practical, running engine for UBAI, funded by reclaiming data sovereignty from Big Tech.Your "II-Agent" -> AI-Proof "Personal AI Agent": Our blueprint is centered on a sovereign AI agent that acts as a secure vault and broker for each user's data, ensuring they have full control and ownership, which is a direct implementation of your non-custodial wallet concept.Your "Proof-of-Benefit" -> AI-Proof Economic Core: Our Q&A feed is a live marketplace that defines and monetizes "useful human compute" by the second, creating a tangible, self-sustaining Proof-of-Benefit ecosystem right now.This is not just a whitepaper; it's an actionable blueprint with garnering traction and interest (on X). To validate its viability across the ideological spectrum, I have:
- Pitched the framework to DiEM25, the pan-European movement founded by Yanis Varoufakis, as a tool to dismantle "technofeudalism."
- I am in ongoing discussions with the C-suite of The Adecco Group (a Fortune 500 company) regarding a separate, large-scale AI adaptation platform I designed, which is compatible with the AI-Proof Ecosystem.
- Reached out to Mo Gawdat as the initiative is exactly what could prevent the "hell before heaven" he predicts as we transition to a post-labor economy. (and more experts contacted - see aiproof.network if interested)I believe the AI-Proof Initiative can serve as the killer application and user-onboarding vehicle for the protocol you are building. The entire blueprint is detailed in two concise, 10-minute videos on my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@aiproofcompanyI would be honored if your team could review them to see the depth of our alignment.Thank you for pioneering the infrastructure for a sovereign future. I believe I conceptualized and will build the engine to bring the people to it.Sincerely,Daniel Bulla
