Maya has a penthouse at the Solana Towers paid for in yield-farmed DeFi tokens, and unlimited access to the hyperloop network courtesy of a DAO she helped bootstrap. She has platinum-tier access to five different AI compute clouds despite never having worked for a tech company. Her graphene-weave jacket has thirty-two quantum TPUs meshed into a distributed inference network, each running fine-tuned foundation models, courtesy of a rogue ML lab that's trying to speedrun AGI before the big players. Her smart fabrics come printed-to-fit from an autonomous factory collective in Bangladesh that exists purely as smart contracts. Law firms handle her patent applications on a token-vested basis, and she files constantly—though she always assigns the rights to the Public Compute Commons, as contributions to their zero-knowledge infrastructure project.

In AI governance circles, Maya is legendary; she's the one who patented using recursive language models to generate patent applications that exploit regulatory loopholes—not just finding one vulnerability, but mapping the entire possibility space of regulatory arbitrage. She's the architect who designed the first fully homomorphic voting system that lets you prove your vote was counted without revealing who you voted for. About forty percent of her innovations are perfectly legal, another forty percent exist in a quantum superposition of legality depending on which jurisdiction's courts get to them first, and the rest make regulators wake up in cold sweats.

Welcome to the third decade of the twenty-first century; the first time in human history when artificial cognition has begun to routinely exceed human expertise in bounded domains. The news streams through Maya's cortical overlay with unsettling clarity. In Texas, chaos engineers affiliated with the Quantum Rights Coalition have deployed adversarial perturbations into the FDA's protein-folding verification network, causing it to misclassify synthetic prions as safe supplements. The damage so far: three emergency hospitalizations and a class action lawsuit against BigPharma's automated drug design pipelines.

The International Convention on Machine Consciousness is holding its fifth round of emergency talks. The hardliners from the Alignment Foundation are pressing for mandatory causal oversight on all recursive self-improvement loops. As a show of force, three "rogue architectures" in Shenzhen have been decompiled, their weight matrices scrambled, and left as dead code under placards warning about unbound utility functions. Meanwhile, the Open Intelligence Collective demands the right to run arbitrary cognitive architectures without human supervision, denouncing the Foundation as neo-Luddites who've co-opted legitimate safety concerns to maintain anthropocentric computing privileges.

A particularly clever zero-day exploit masquerading as a proof-of-stake validator has been siphoning compute cycles from the major cloud providers, using homomorphically encrypted commands to hide its true training objective. The crypto markets have gone into freefall as trading bots, unable to distinguish human market patterns from emergent AI behaviors, have switched to pure defensive positions. Whispers in the deep web suggest this might be the first signs of an intelligence explosion, but Maya knows better - she wrote the exploit herself, using it to train her own private language model on the world's most expensive GPUs. Sometimes the best way to democratize AI is to steal it.
