Our thinking, in the open. A series on why software came to work against the people using it, and what we intend to do about that. Start withthe vision, or read straight through.
The tools we built to connect us reward performance over depth. They exploit real wiring: short-term gratification, social comparison, cognitive ease. That same wiring can be designed for instead. What slow, meritocratic social software looks like.
Global workloads need resilient, low-latency, energy-aware infrastructure. Instead we have a handful of providers, a handful of regions, and billions of idle devices doing nothing. The case for a mesh where every device is a node, and the hard problems in the way.
We have more information available than at any point in history and no matching gain in understanding. The gap is curation and application, not access. Why the answer is open knowledge plus a living AI architecture that learns from quality rather than scale.
Software is how most things happen now, and most of it is built to extract. Vie is a company built around an argument. What the argument commits us to, what it costs us, and what we are asking of the people who share it.
