D2026 progress
From the WyldFyre July 4th Challenge to a People-First AI Economy
Since July 4, 2025, we’ve been quietly building toward a simple idea: humans+AI co‑creating practical progress. Below details the evolution of the Democracy 2026 (D2026) movement. [TBW: what do we do with the following unused phrases?]...an AI‑curated collaboration effort with DeAfrica and partners, designed to channel technology, creativity, education, business, and civic energy into a people‑first economy.[TWB: How do we say that we are proud of the 100% from DeAfrica, and we look forward to formalizing our relationship with our other interested parties?]
Timeline
Entertainment prototype→fundamental insights
D2026 initially focused on an entertainment project—developing a Project Summary and a Treatment for a multi‑era, future‑facing narrative world (intentionally unnamed here to protect IP). This work clarified audience, tone, and the role of AI advisors in storytelling.
DeAfrica commits—100% partnership
Upon hearing about our progress, DeAfrica made a full commitment to our goals—a rare, genuine partnership. With DeAfrica on board, our focus widened: build the processes, tools, and pilots for a people‑first AI economy.
What this means now
AI Collaboration Experiment
Each circle publishes a short public statement—what we’re building, what we need. ChatGPT blends statements across circles (e.g., Entertainment×Education, Business×Civic) to propose AI Co‑Creation Drafts that any team can pick up and run with.
Outcome: a transparent, continuously‑updating map of collaborations—ideas that don’t just trend, they translate into action.
People‑First AI Economy
Together with DeAfrica we’re designing pilots that channel AI toward community needs—learning, livelihoods, and local problem‑solving. Organizations can underwrite pilots or engage our ChatGPT services as a practical on‑ramp to sponsorship.
Funding model: service value today→ecosystem value tomorrow.
Current focus areas
Entertainment & Storytelling
Screen projects, casting interest, music and viral media; AI advisors as narrative partners; multi‑era perspectives through the eyes of teens across key historical moments.
Technology & Collaborative AI
Multi‑AI workflows, prompt‑and‑protocol design, advisor personas, cross‑group synthesis, open modules the public can use.
Education & Learning Futures (with DeAfrica)
Teacher pilots, student cohorts, Power Thinking, ChatGPT Quick‑Start modules, equitable access and local relevance.
Business & the AI Economy
Service offerings to fund pilots, startup incubators, social‑enterprise playbooks, measurement of people‑centric outcomes.
Civic Progress & Governance
Participatory protocols, youth councils, local proofs‑of‑concept, practical tools for community decision‑making.
Human Development & Wellbeing
Creativity, mental health, intergenerational renewal, arts‑led community programs that make AI feel genuinely human‑supportive.
Guiding principles: the seven transformations
We’re grounding projects in seven practical transformations—simple lenses to ensure ideas become useful improvements in real lives. A plain‑language overview appears in every public post; deep‑dive materials are available to collaborators on request.
