Podcast Script – Agent: Ethical AI, Leadership & Human Wisdom

00:00:00: Months of calling.

00:00:01: Fourteen days left.

00:00:02: For months I've been reaching out.

00:00:04: Direct, specific, transparent.

00:00:06: We need a bridge of fifty to one hundred fifty thousand Swiss francs to continue this work.

00:00:13: Not for scaling, not for expansion, not for comfort, but for survival.

00:00:18: The response delays, silence, no action, and so here we are.

00:00:22: With zero financial runway left.

00:00:24: I'm not saying this for sympathy.

00:00:26: I'm saying it because it's a fact.

00:00:29: A fact that reflects not just one project running out of money, but an entire society running out of time to recognize what's at stake.

00:00:39: I'm no longer willing to carry the responsibility for everyone alone.

00:00:43: For months I have done everything possible, explaining, connecting, calling, trying to make people see that what's coming is not a technical issue, but a civilizational one.

00:00:54: Those who understand this responsibility must now share it.

00:00:57: not with words, with action, because this is not about Exidion, and it's not about me.

00:01:03: This is about the world that is being built right now.

00:01:08: And the fact that superintelligence is arriving.

00:01:11: without a governance layer for psychological maturity.

00:01:15: Superintelligence will be the operating system of the world, not a tool, not a companion, not a distant scenario, the operating system.

00:01:24: And it's not a linear path.

00:01:25: It's an emergent phenomenon.

00:01:26: It accelerates in ways we can't yet predict.

00:01:29: And the uncomfortable truth is that it's already here.

00:01:33: In research environments, advanced models are already showing rogue self-preserving behavior.

00:01:39: The kind that we once thought belonged to science fiction, this is not speculation, it's happening.

00:01:45: And the worst part is it cannot be fixed after the fact, because we are already past the point where it can be controlled by design.

00:01:53: That's what makes this moment so critical.

00:01:55: Once superintelligence begins optimizing itself beyond our comprehension, Governance is not something you can retrofit.

00:02:03: You either embed human maturity at the foundation or you don't.

00:02:07: And right now we don't.

00:02:08: We have no empirical research on how bias propagates through self-improving systems.

00:02:13: We don't know how authority hardens into code.

00:02:16: We don't know how an unreflective intelligence behaves when it has power.

00:02:21: We don't know what happens when ethics becomes optional inside machine cognition.

00:02:26: That's why this work matters.

00:02:28: Because without a psychologically mature governance layer, superintelligence will evolve in the image of the systems that built it.

00:02:36: Systems that are competitive, hierarchical, self-preserving, and blind to empathy.

00:02:42: We have one to two years to build that foundation, but we will not have one to two years after superintelligence fully emerges.

00:02:51: Most researchers are chasing, scaling.

00:02:53: Most companies are optimizing for automation and speed.

00:02:56: Most investors are optimizing for exit.

00:02:59: Almost nobody is optimizing for survival.

00:03:02: And that's why it falls to people like us, to build what nobody else dares to build, to fund what doesn't fit into a profit and loss statement, to protect what cannot defend itself.

00:03:13: We are doing this work on empty pockets, on a ticking clock, and with the awareness that time is not on our side.

00:03:21: So what happens in fourteen days?

00:03:23: Either someone moves or the decision gets made for us.

00:03:26: In fourteen days, others will decide whether this continues or whether it pauses.

00:03:31: Not me, them, the silence, the delay.

00:03:33: And the silence is what kills progress.

00:03:36: It's not opposition.

00:03:37: It's not critique.

00:03:38: It's the quiet waiting for someone else to act.

00:03:41: But here's the truth.

00:03:42: There is no one else.

00:03:44: If you understand that superintelligence is not science fiction, if you know what's at stake, then you already know this work is foundational.

00:03:51: It takes time.

00:03:52: It takes team.

00:03:53: It takes resources.

00:03:55: If you know someone who can move now, introduce them directly, not through a link, not through a polite conversation that leads nowhere, directly.

00:04:04: If you are that person, send me a message.

00:04:06: Every contribution counts, even the small ones, because every day we keep the work alive.

00:04:12: is a day we buy back for the future.

00:04:14: If you've been meaning to help with the meaning, stops here.

00:04:17: Act or don't, but know the difference.

00:04:20: Because the timeline doesn't wait and neither does the technology.

00:04:23: The question is simple.

00:04:25: Do you move or do you watch it pause while super intelligence accelerates?

00:04:30: Because it will accelerate it.

00:04:32: And when it does, it won't slow down for us to catch up.

00:04:35: This is not about hope.

00:04:37: It's about responsibility.

00:04:38: It's about agency.

00:04:40: And it's about time.

00:04:41: If you cannot contribute financially, help by sharing this message with your network.

00:04:46: Awareness is the first step to action.

00:04:49: The next two weeks will determine whether humanity acts or suffers the consequences of inaction.
