The world is getting increasingly more competitive. The gap between ambition and affordability widens every year. It's becoming harder to afford a lifestyle that feels expansive, that gives you room to breathe and think and become who you want to be.
Too many people spend their one human life in environments that make them feel small—cramped apartments in expensive cities, grinding away at work that barely covers rent, let alone leaves space for growth or beauty or meaningful experiences. This isn't just about money. It's about the psychological weight of living in a world that seems designed to compress you.
As AGI progresses, it will become increasingly harder to get paid for your work. The skills that once guaranteed employment will be automated. The entry-level positions that used to be stepping stones will vanish. The gig economy that absorbed some of this displacement will contract as autonomous systems handle delivery, transportation, and service work.
This isn't a distant future. It's already beginning. And the question we need to answer is: what does it mean to live well when traditional employment becomes scarce?
The standard response—universal basic income—addresses survival but not dignity. It doesn't solve the problem of what you do with your life. It doesn't create environments where people can flourish rather than merely subsist.
We're building technology and affordable subscription models—$20/day, including hardware—that let people elevate themselves physically and mentally in beautiful worlds where they don't feel small.
This isn't escapism. It's infrastructure for human development. Photorealistic virtual environments where you can walk and run freely. Spaces designed to inspire rather than compress. Worlds built around learning, creating, and collaborating with AGI as your partner.
Our vision is a world where AGI doesn't replace you—it teaches you. You learn to work with it, maintain it, create with it at superhuman pace. But unlike the traditional model where you grind for years before life gets good, you get to live an amazing, beautiful life from day one.
You're not waiting until you can afford quality of life. You're not burning out to achieve baseline comfort. You start in environments that feel expansive and inspiring, with access to educational experiences that would traditionally cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, for $20/day.
At the center of this is what we're calling a grand virtual university—a collaborative learning environment where AI and humans teach together. Where the quality of education is decoupled from its cost. Where you can pursue mastery in any domain, learn from the world's best knowledge systems, and earn meaningful credentials that reflect genuine capability.
In the physical world, prestigious education is a luxury good. Geography, cost, and competition create artificial scarcity. In virtual space, we can build learning environments that are simultaneously accessible, deeply engaging, aesthetically compelling, and intellectually rigorous.
This isn't just about replacing classrooms with VR headsets. It's about rethinking what education could be if we started from first principles. What if learning environments were designed to be beautiful? What if collaboration with AI made individual humans more capable rather than redundant? What if credentials were based on demonstrated ability rather than institutional gatekeeping?
Our technology enables unlimited physical movement in limited home spaces—portable hardware that lets you walk and run freely through vast virtual landscapes without hitting walls. This solves the VR locomotion problem while creating opportunities for physical exercise integrated into learning and exploration.
But physical space is only part of the equation. Mental elevation requires environments that expand your sense of possibility rather than narrow it. It requires access to tools that amplify your capabilities. It requires freedom from the constant anxiety of whether you can afford to exist.
When people don't have to worry about baseline survival, when they have access to beautiful spaces and powerful learning tools, when they can collaborate with AGI systems that make them more capable rather than obsolete—that's when human potential actually gets realized.
This one human life is precious. Spending it feeling small, stressed about money, unable to pursue growth because you're trapped in survival mode—that's a tragedy we have the technology to prevent.
The question isn't whether AGI will transform work and economics. It will. The question is whether we build systems that use this transformation to compress people further or to finally give them space to breathe, grow, and flourish.
We're choosing the latter. A world where you can live beautifully, learn continuously, create meaningfully, and work with AGI as a partner in human development—all for $20/day.
That's not a fantasy. That's what we're building.
