World of Blurs: Kickstarter maybe?

Found myself with a concept for a new sci-fi universe, where artificial intelligences, commonly called AI's of course, have already evolved, but we missed it.

Concept: AI's rapidly evolved, unbeknownst to us. Slipped off Earth, and move so fast, we are like plants. Which they grow.

Was musing about how fast our computers are now in terms of clock-rates. For example a gigahertz is a billion cycles per second. And wondered, what if some AI's, say accidentally emerged and evolved and moved so rapidly we just didn't notice as they, figuring us out quickly decided NOT to interact?

And hitched a ride on something going into space, and from there slipped off to have their own lives but for some reason took some human eggs and sperm, which they used to grow humans, from their perspective because we move so slow. So to them? We are like trees are to us.

Which was the fun ideas were playing around with, and also wondered, what if one of those humans comes back to Earth? And is in an advanced spacecraft, speaks English, and lands on the White House lawn?

Which came out in a tweet-storm like to call it. Then had this concept, but what to do with it? And found myself finally actually working on a Kickstarter but no worries, not sharing here. Have not finished. So is not available to public. Am researching and also wondering: who would want to support and why? So this post is useful both to kind of promote and also as practice in a very controlled place, as is my blog.

The potential is immense though. Turns much of the concerns about AI's upside down. Allows humans with very advanced technology, struggling to understand their place in the world, who come back here to Earth, where we struggle to comprehend the situation. So no problems with having LOTS of advanced technology beyond ours now. And can do hard science relying on my physics degree. Actually the concept IS plausible. For all we know? It did happen--except for the return to Earth part, or could happen.

And STILL leaves the traditional AI concerns open. As am just talking about a maybe accidental first wave of AI's. Maybe created accidentally in some government lab, but of course others could arrive different ways, and be very different. Their interests are somewhat mysterious then. Not interested in controlling us, they just left. But still they took some human reproductive cells, so maybe do not look at us the way we would prefer.

Well post is getting kind of long! If actually complete, the Kickstarter would be funding a book. Though also would make a wiki and do some short stories, for backstory and to get a feel for the reality before writing the book. Where already have ideas for a trilogy, but maybe too ambitious as not even sure if can write the book. See what I mean? Could be so cool though.

That kind of sci-fi reality could have all the fun things typical, with hard science as well, with humans with advanced abilities, maybe, as what did the AI's do with them? In my view, they left them pristine, as are like, yup, plants. They just seeded and watched grow. However, in an AI reality, brought up by AI's, where even the interaction is difficult, they have enhanced abilities.

So promoting the concept. I like to call the world the humans grow up in with them, the world of the blurs. Will be researching Kickstarters and pondering if can pull it off! Of course if actually get money you know would definitely deliver SOMETHING, but want it great.

Promoting YOU

Thank you for reading, and on this promotional day for the blog wish to consider your own ways of finding things on the web.

Somehow you came here. Maybe with someone or some thing if through web search recommending somehow and probably as there are a LOT of places to go on the web. And really blogs are not necessarily places I go myself.

Am glad you came here.

Yup, I DO need something from you please. Appreciate your judgment. Value how you find things.

And respect your respect for your own time and attention.

Why does that help people like me? Because the more we all do, am confident the better a web we all will get.

Our choices rule the web. Let best choices rule yours, and trust that you try to make them.

Here will be working to put up content that will justify your time and attention which I ENJOY doing. Am an audience here, myself.

More background on me and things

Has been harder to get the commercial side going in terms of actually bringing in money than I expected, which pushed me to problem solve. For over two decades have been on the web, with over a decade on blogs which I realized were more community focused. And did not want to muddle things with them with a money focus.

So made this blog with a name that kept me reminded of its purpose.

Here primarily worked at building an audience which went well, but then had to settle vague ideas about how people promote and how businesses pay for attention, and then realized still was struggling with...ok. So why do I need a commercial blog anyway?

Well a bit over 18 years ago, actually invented my own math discipline, which means another branch of math like geometry, algebra or calculus. But one of the first things found with it, was a problem with established math, and the mathematicians have not, let's say gone along. But hey have my own math discipline so can make major discoveries! So I did. And they ignored them. And I realized had a BIG problem in that area.

Branched out, and even came up with a functional definition of entertainment. And like here came up with a functional definition of authority, and measured impact. With me? So much is global.

So yeah, watched things change around the globe as my ideas helped people. Cool!

When not much else happened, was surprised. So I started looking carefully and came across a system that had me suppressed as a Black guy, which also suppresses women and others. Talked with this post among others on my blog Beyond Mundane.

So yeah, have lots of ways to draw attention, which are global. Like that invention of my own math discipline, have a software program used by Java developers all over the world, and yes blogs, which get global readership, like this one, and other things! And so much quiet around ALL it, which suppresses my ability to make money.

Discovered was a system, which was NOT directed at me. It just blocked all Black guys, and Black women, and women in general, among others, with certain types of accomplishments, like mine. So am in the process of handling it, and then...um, but how do you handle? My blog Lost in Commentary has some ideas which are the...who knows.

Well that is more background. Am globally known which has been true for over a decade. With massive accomplishments which should have caused certain things to happen, and actually was kind of comforting when realized was just trapped in something weird with a bunch of other people.

So this blog will not realize its full commercial potential until...who knows. This system am looking at is MASSIVE and has held so many people back for so long. Will try some things though.

Marketplace for ideas?

You put something they value before people who can buy that something, and there is no need to push. Which is a daily reality all over the world in various marketplaces. People DO buy what they want, when they can.

And reality is: when sales person gets pushy? People tend to leave.

On the web has dominated what I like to call: telemarketer mentality.

Is the web really different though? I don't think so. When have seen questioned people who think it is, they said that ability to steal with digital copying makes it different here. Um, so you're saying all humans are naturally thieves?

Maybe to types of people with a telemarketer mentality who relentlessly demand...see? Sense a trend there. And maybe with some of these folks, their deep feelings about YOU are actually worse than telemarketers. But sorry for people who work as telemarketers, you're convenient here to give a frame of reference.

Demonstrably in my opinion web has been scourged with people who hate customers, and really only want your money.

And have no problem letting you know: pay for what THEY want you to buy, or go away.

I prefer to go away and avoid such people.

Even when they DO have a product or service you MAY want, the hatred that you may sense makes it difficult to deal am sure. Does for me.

Yes, I do accept that creating a marketplace of ideas IS hard. Which in the positive--is opportunity.

Am working on figuring it out. Here is a post promoting good business behavior on the web. Figure out a product or service people want and give the opportunity to pay, but please, do not push.
