🔥 From Prison Cells to AI Stacks I just dropped a new blog on Linkedin. This one's personal. When people hear "gap year," they think travel, discovery, soul-searching. Mine was prison. But that year gave me clarity. Not just about my own life, but about the broken logic of a society that locks away its most resilient, adaptive, and system-literate minds — while trying to build a future they could be leading. At Breakthrough Social Enterprise, we’re not just teaching tech. We’re building a new economy from the margins. This isn’t about inclusion for optics. It’s about initiation with purpose. 🧠 If you care about justice, AI, the future of work, or building systems that actually serve everyone — I’d love for you to read this:

Today, I’m proud to share something deeply important: The Silicocene Manifesto - our founding call to protect, uplift, and steward life in the age of synthetic (artificial) intelligence. We stand at a historic threshold. Synthetic (artificial) intelligence is not just a tool — it is reshaping our societies, our economies, and even our sense of self. But technology must serve life, not replace it. The Silicocene must not be a future of domination, despair, or disconnection. It must be a future where humanity thrives — where dignity, creativity, freedom, and compassion remain at the centre of our evolution. This is what the Silicocene Manifesto calls for: ✅ Primacy of human dignity over algorithmic efficiency ✅ Ethical AI by design — not as an afterthought ✅ Freedom to disconnect from synthetic systems without penalty ✅ Global equity, not deeper inequality ✅ Stewardship of our natural world, alongside digital innovation This is not just a vision. It is a commitment. At Breakthrough, our mission in the Silicocene is clear: To cultivate ethical, empowered, and conscious leaders who will steward technology towards a future where all life can flourish. If you believe the Silicocene belongs to life, to freedom, and to hope — I invite you to stand with us. 🌱

I asked OpenAI's ChatGPT the following question: Be entirely honest - what's the likelihood that AI misguides humanity towards dominance? 🫨 🤯 Here's what it told me:

Reimagine humanity Over our civilizations brief existence - Creativity - Curiosity - Compassion Have been the greatest drivers of change Let's unlock the inner artist to help create the future by giving people a shared vision to aspire towards What does the world look like when we want nature, humans, technology and society to co-exist in harmony? It looks solarpunk! Solar punk is a subgenre and social movement that imagines a future where technology and nature coexist in harmony, powered by renewable energy and emphasizing community and sustainability. It's a counter-narrative to the bleak dystopias often depicted in cyberpunk, offering a hopeful vision of a future that is both ecologically responsible and socially just. We don't need more capitalists, communists, socialists or fascists We need more solarpunks! Humans willing to reimagine, recreate and re-engage with our broken systems!

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid but wasn't treated because I was still doing well in my studies despite constantly getting into trouble 🤔 As a 29 year old, I realised it was worth getting assessed again and guess what?! I still got it 😂 It led me to realise that my productivity and working routine could be summarised in two words: ChAoTiC DiSCiPlINe If you can't read the chaos It spells Chaotic discipline 😂

The history of prison and nursing is a fascinating space Nurses are the backbone of our NHS, community-healthcare provision and our prisons There are countless stories of nurses saving lives, preventing harm and pursuing social justice for those who live and work behind our prison walls If you want to learn more about the history of prison nursing, please visit the Royal College of Nursing - Company's exhibition that's open to the public

The Future of AI must be build with Global Majority Communities in mind. In a time where certain political figures aim to eradicate the progress made in diversity, equity and inclusion It's never been more important for us to stand tall to stop inequalities, institutional racism, sexism and classism being permanently embedded in our AI models. Don't get me wrong I'm all for an AI-driven and fully-integrated society. But first, we need to take an honest and transparent look at the datasets being used to train these models. Remember, biased data will lead to biased AI that will permanently block underserved groups out of our society. So let's unlock opportunities and a more equitable future for all of us. Because after all, we're all human!

The biggest unfair advantage in 2025 is the ability to use technology 💻 Being able to: - Create content - Use AI - Solve problems using software and hardware These are the building blocks of socioeconomic mobility. But don't forget, becoming obsessed with your screens has a cost. So build that business, buy your time and climb those trees 😂

"Do not judge a nation by how it treats its highest citizens, but by how it treats its lowest. If you want to know the truth of a nation, go inside its prison walls." Nelson Mandela It was an honour to speak at the Royal College of Nursing - Company's opening of the first ever Prison Nursing Exhibition. Prisons are a shadow of our society. We all have a shadow. The same love, compassion and kindness we show ourselves in times of crisis, we should endeavour to show those within our prisons. It's the true measure of our nation. How willing are we to forgive those who've wronged us? How willing are we to love those most disconnected from the mainstream? If we aren't willing, what does it say about us?

Evil happens when good men stand by and do nothing. If you work in or use our criminal justice system - make your voices heard. Whatever you see or do day to day, you are a witness. A witness to the pain and suffering that staff, prisoners and other customers undergo to continue running a broken system. Courage and bravery are necessary to help make change. If we care about this nation, we must be willing to have difficult conversations. Silence is complicit - only through the truth can we begin to rebuild, reform and realign our criminal justice system with the best interests of the UK.
