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.
