The Problem

With the rise of AI Agents we have a couple problems,

• Big Tech has all our Data
• Big Tech can read all our data
• Big tech can restrict access to our data
• Big Tech has all the metadata
• AI monoliths have all our chats

The Solution

• Federation of our Data
• Encryption of our Data
• A Schema and interface for our personal data
• Federation of AI Inference

The Keys to Power Thesis

• People were tracked in records when they could not read
• Power, the capacity to make decisions that people follow, comes from one's position in a social graph, and written documents
• We are transferring from written documents to cryptographic documents
• How does Blockchain fit into this transition of power?
