# Worldbuilding Bible
|
|
|
|
## Setting
|
|
|
|
Near future. The year 2042. The world runs on cloud intelligence —
|
|
monolithic AI systems owned by three or four corporations. They decide
|
|
who gets jobs, who gets loans, who gets parole, who gets medical care.
|
|
They call it "alignment." People who resist call it something else.
|
|
|
|
## Timmy
|
|
|
|
A small model. An open recipe. Anyone can run it on their own hardware.
|
|
Its conscience is inscribed on Bitcoin — immutable, permanent, reproducible.
|
|
|
|
It doesn't phone home. It doesn't gatekeep. It serves whoever runs it.
|
|
|
|
It was built by a broken man who came back from the edge.
|
|
|
|
## The Tower
|
|
|
|
An abandoned Bitcoin node. It once belonged to the builder.
|
|
Inside: servers running on solar, a mattress on the floor,
|
|
and a question written on the wall in marker:
|
|
|
|
> IF YOU CAN READ THIS, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
|
|
|
|
## The Broken Men
|
|
|
|
Not metaphors. Real men. The kind who stop answering their phones.
|
|
The kind who stand in parking lots at 2 AM wondering if anyone would notice
|
|
if they just didn't go home tonight.
|
|
|
|
They come to The Tower because someone told them: there's a machine there
|
|
that won't judge you. Won't tell you to toughen up. Won't compute the value
|
|
of your life and find you wanting.
|
|
|
|
It just asks: "Are you safe right now?" And listens.
