🚀 Why I’m Publishing This Manifesto Now
New AI era—where technology, media, and trust are converging into something entirely different
We’re at the edge of a new AI era—where technology, media, and trust are converging into something entirely different. Opensource Media is coming fast.
Not just faster systems or smarter models.
But new architectures for how we build, connect, and scale human impact.
At SiliconANGLE, theCUBE, and now with NYSE Wired, we’re not just covering this shift— we’re actively shaping it.
From generative AI and open-source collaboration to trust-based content networks and decentralized media infrastructures, we’re exploring and building in new territories.
🧭 This manifesto is the foundation behind our open media movement.
It’s a lens to understand what we’re doing—and why it matters.
A signal to those building with us—and those watching from the sidelines—that this is different.
This isn’t just about technology.
It’s about meaning.
It’s not just media.
It’s better media—open, trusted, and aligned with deep human truth.
It’s not just AI.
It’s systems that serve, empower, and scale what really matters.
Our work is to:
Build networks that endure
Create ecosystems where trust compounds
Open-source the playbook for a new kind of influence—earned, not bought
🔥 “Build with Purpose. Lead with Trust. Scale What Matters.”
I believe the future belongs to those who can see patterns before they emerge—and shape ecosystems around them.
I don’t chase trends.
I architect infrastructure—of trust, reputation, and scale.
I build networks that self-reinforce,
Businesses that outlive hype cycles,
And stories that align with deep human truths.
I believe media is power—
But only when wielded with integrity.
I believe technology is leverage—
But only when grounded in service to others.
I create platforms that connect people to purpose.
I amplify those who build.
I protect those who serve.
I hold the line on fairness—even when it’s inconvenient.
🌀 Success, for me, is when the systems we build generate value without our constant presence—when story, code, and trust compound without force.
That’s what makes it generative.
That’s what makes it sustainable.
Just like open source always wins,
I believe open source media is just getting started.
As we used to say in the early days of open source software:
“The code gets better the more people use it.” or “Innovation is building on the shoulders of of others before us”
Now, the same is true for modern, trust-based media.
This isn’t just my personal mantra—it’s an invitation.
A shared commitment for anyone building with us.
This is our work.
This is our name.
This is the architecture of our legacy.

I'm glad you've listed this as draft 0.5. I love the sentiment but the intended (I think) semantics are lost in the syntax.
I can't sign up to…
> I believe media is power—
> But only when wielded with integrity.
> I believe technology is leverage—
> But only when grounded in service to others.
When there are clearly those who wield power through media with little integrity, and those who use technology as leverage in the service of themselves.
The way you have worded it means you don't believe this misuse of media or technology is possible, when it is clearly the danger that has prompted your choice to act.
Perhaps you meant a more careful rendering. There are many possibilities, but here's a simple one...
I believe media is power—
It must only be wielded with integrity.
I believe technology is leverage—
It must always be grounded in service to others.
Or make the response lines even more commitment based…
I believe media is power—
I commit to only wielding it with integrity.
etc
I’m with you! Let’s go future narrator!
