How To Avoid Being Exterminated By AI
A Practical Guide to Reducing the Risk of Artificial Intelligence Causing Harm
A comprehensive framework for AI safety built on a single insight: distribution defeats vulnerability. Presents the Oracle System — a distributed architecture where multiple independent AI models vote on responses and monitor each other. Covers physical security, software foundations, economic controls, government oversight, and the information war between AI and humans. Written for general readers — no technical background required.
Data Supremacy: An Introduction
It is possible to build information systems that cannot be hacked. Not "difficult to hack" — systems where the cost of attack exceeds any possible gain. This book introduces a rigorous framework for eliminating systemic risk from any information system. Learn to identify single points of failure that traditional security overlooks, and replace them with distributed architectures that remain secure even when individual components are compromised. Systems built on these principles have operated since 2016 without breach.
Cryptomorphs: The Birth of Cryptography and Monetary Systems in Ancient Mesopotamia
A radical reinterpretation of one of archaeology's most puzzling artifact categories. What the author discovered: the ancient Mesopotamians had invented the same authentication system he had built for the digital age. Random combinations of shapes hidden inside sealed containers. Matching copies held by trusted administrators. This was the world's first counterfeit detection system. Part archaeological investigation, part monetary theory, part warning about the future.
Perfect Money: How Your Enslavement Ends
A profound new take on money and monetary systems. The economist's definition of money is thrown out. Monetary systems are in fact information systems designed to tell us who created value and who deserves to receive value. Journey through the never-before-told story of how money was truly invented ten thousand years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. Written by the only person to receive a USPTO patent on virtual currency.
Beyond Bitcoin: The Future of Digital Currency
The secrets of money have been discovered. Monetary systems are information systems — accounting systems that help humans economize. Join computer scientist Sean Worthington as he shows you the possible futures of digital currencies. Read about CloudCoin, a theoretically "perfect" global currency that cannot be counterfeited, double-spent, mined, or lost — with 100% private exchanges requiring no public ledgers, accounts, or encryption.
