The Swaymak manifesto
AccelerateMain Street.
We're effective accelerationists, e/acc for short. We build AI for the businesses that keep this country running, and we think the gains should reach everyone.
We believe
- 01
Technology is how life gets better. We want the future here sooner.
- 02
AI is the most powerful tool small business has ever been handed.
- 03
Main Street should get it first.
- 04
You shouldn't need a tech department to compete. That's what we're for.
- 05
AI can do the busywork. People make the calls.
- 06
Better for a million owners to have these tools than a handful of giants.
- 07
The gains should reach everyone. That's Universal High Income.
- 08
We put our own money behind it.
We've done this before
AI is this generation's electricity.
In 1935, about 1 in 10 American farms had power. The rest ran on daylight and elbow grease. A deliberate national push strung the wire, and within about 15 years nearly 9 in 10 were lit.
Most of Main Street hasn't wired AI into how the work actually gets done yet. We're the crew stringing the wire.
Where this goes
Universal High Income.
A higher floor for everyone.
AI is about to make the world far more productive. We think everyone's standard of living should rise with it. The gains shouldn't stay with the few companies building the models. That's Universal High Income.
We're accelerationists about the technology and serious about who shares in the gains. The companies that benefit first and most from AI should help make Universal High Income possible, locally and nationally.
Small businesses are how the gains spread. When a painter, a salon or a family restaurant has the same tools as a Fortune 500 company, ownership stays spread out and more people get a real shot.
Our own money
The Swaymak Pledge
A share of Swaymak's profits goes into our Bitcoin fund for Universal High Income. We're holding it until other AI companies make the same commitment. Then we donate it, and the pledge keeps going.
AI companies: match it.
Universal High Income isn't a program anyone can apply to yet. The fund is held in Bitcoin, so its value rises and falls with the market. It isn't an investment product or a promise of payments to anyone. It's our own money, set aside for UHI.
