Dear Devika, (All),

Greetings from the SF Bay Area, and close to Stanford, UC Berkeley and from startup free World University and School building on MIT OCW in 7 languages for free WUaS degrees in each of all 200 countries, and wiki too, and planned in all 7159 known living languages as wiki schools for open wiki-teaching, and wiki-learning. 

Looking forward to your - Digital Materialities Seminar with Devika Narayan (University of Bristol): "Between the Cloud and a Hard Place: A thesis on technological transformation" - 27 May (4-6 pm, CET) from Paris - which I just registered for yesterday - https://evento.renater.fr/survey/seminaire-materialites-du-numerique-2025-26-y65u8krt.


As I emailed friends, Sid / Pin Mazumdar, Ed Smyth MD, Byron Hann MD PhD and family, Jane MacLeod, yesterday - 

"I received this announcement of an upcoming talk by Devika Narayan, an assistant Professor at the University of Bristol (where Flora Halford-MacLeod is completing her medical degree, a MBBS) to be given from Sciences Po in Paris, France ... She's originally from India ... Just registered for W May 27, 2026 at 4pm in France, which may be 8 am Pacific Time (and interesting to navigate the French registration page, in English too, somehow culturally .. .and in WUaS growing a worldwide abolition movement and see below) - 



Devika Narayan, Lecturer at the University of Bristol




The topic of the paper 
"Between the Cloud and a Hard Place: A thesis on technological transformation" 
is potentially very relevant for my upcoming "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" book (@WUaSPress) as are the countries of England and France for World Univ & Sch ... Do you or your siblings know Devika Narayan, Pin?

A possible way to connect with Flora ... and regarding family questions especially ???? 

Yogically, Friendly NtF Quaker greetings, abolition, warm regards, 
Scott"


Devika, Flora and I both studied at Fettes College in Edinburgh Scotland (and I'm still in touch with Fettes re physics' teacher George Preston my housemaster in Kimmerghame House, above, and Karen Houston Jones, and Andrew Stitt), albeit I only for a year in the first year 6th form of A levels, and am interested in connecting with her further, and potentially regarding family questions. Do you happen to know her (at Bristol University with some 33,000 students) or might you know of ways to communicate with her, and regarding some of the above? What is her email? Am much on TwitterX and LinkedIN, but haven't heard back from Flora re LinkedIN yet. I've blogged twice about her both here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2026/05/trinity-alps-wilderness-m-51826-52526.html - and here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/05/santa-cruz-wallflower-erysimum.html (in daily blog). 

And, Devika, after a great beginning to the open Google I/O 2026 (about amazing emerging artificial intelligences +) online conference Tuesday 5/19, might you be interested in joining this amazing Google conference today, beginning in about 30 minutes - https://io.google/2026/ ? It's pretty interesting (and edited recordings of yesterday's keynotes are already accessible). 

Perhaps we can also come into communication about my upcoming "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" book which is very sociological in Part 1 (coming into conversation with long time UC Berkeley Professor Manuel Castells), and regarding Part 2 regarding the global university, and where WUaS seeks to employ some 2.5 million people over the next 50-100 years, slightly bigger than Walmart (which is in 19 out of 200 countries) and where WUaS seeks to grow in all 200 countries and 7159 living languages, and has 2 wings (and see below), with amazing potential synergies between them. 

Looking forward to your seminar on May 27, 2026, & best regards, 
Scott

Dear colleagues, 

As part of the 2025–2026 edition of the "Digital Materialities" seminar, the eighth session of the year will be held on Wednesday, 27 May (4:00-6:00 pm, CET), both online and at Sciences Po Paris (1 place Saint-Thomas d’Aquin, 75007).

We are delighted to welcome Devika Narayan, Lecturer at the University of Bristol, for a presentation entitled: 

"Between the Cloud and a Hard Place: A thesis on technological transformation"

Abstract: This talk will offer a perspective on digital transformation that melds sociotechnical analysis of computing infrastructure with industrial and organisational political economy. The old-fashioned, unglamourous computer industry has given way to a much more pervasive and powerful tech sector. I will explore this shift to discuss the material practices of acceleration, resulting in capitalist volatility.  

--- 

Registration for the session, as well as the full seminar programme, is available on the working group webpage.

The final session of the year will take place on Wednesday, 17 June (4:00-6:00 pm, CET), with a talk by Oyuna Baldakova (King’s College London) on "Land-Locked and Internet-Locked: Digital Dependency, Sovereignty, and Resilience in Kazakhstan."

Looking forward to seeing you online and in person!

All the best, 

Hugo Estecahandy, Adrien Tournier & Valentin Goujon.

after Devika Narayan's talk from Sciences Po at 7 am Pacific Time in the SF Bay Area



Dear Devika, (Ed Smyth MD, Old Fettesians' Flora Halford-MacLeod MBBS, George Preston, & former PM Tony Blair of Great Britain, US Senator and former Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, again Ed Smyth MD affiliated with Kaiser Permanente health care organization NorCal, Ramya Chandrasekhar, Hugo Estecahandy, Adrien Tournier & Valentin Goujon, All), 

Thanks for your interesting Sciences' Po talk earlier today, Devika, which I participated in from the SF Bay Area (and see too the PSs) - 


Friday, 29 May (4:00-6:00 pm, CET), both online and at Sciences Po Paris (1 place Saint-Thomas d’Aquin, 75007).

We are delighted to welcome Devika Narayan, Lecturer at the University of Bristol, for a presentation entitled:

"Between the Cloud and a Hard Place: A thesis on technological transformation"
Abstract: This talk will offer a perspective on digital transformation that melds sociotechnical analysis of computing infrastructure with industrial and organisational political economy. The old-fashioned, unglamourous computer industry has given way to a much more pervasive and powerful tech sector. I will explore this shift to discuss the material practices of acceleration, resulting in capitalist volatility.  


In conversation with a number of your historical readings of the computing, capitalism, and industrial revolutions too, I'd like to share with all of you the first 8 chapters of my upcoming book (which comes into conversation with Manuel Castells' analyses in "The Information Age: Economy, Society, and Culture," and "The Rise of the Network Society," and see this trilogy too of which this is the first book) -

"Society, Information Technology and the Global University" forthcoming book (Academic Press at World University and School - @WUaSPress )

I was surprised to not hear much about power, re its importance theoretically in sociology, in your talk. 


I also searched on in clarifying my thinking about these - 


cloud computing capitalism


cloud computing capitalism and resistance - manuel castells

 
How can the acceleration of AI cloud computing's transformation even challenge 'big tech' companies' monopolistic practices ... and how would sociologist Manuel Castells demonstrate and give examples of this?


... and see the INCREDIBLE AI Mode responses to these below, and which also helped clarify for me some of the directions of your sociological interpretations in your "Between the Cloud and a Hard Place: A thesis on technological transformation" talk.

Do you think however that this cloud computing capitalism technological transformation is improving livelihoods in India, Great Britain, and France as great benefits that might offset which you characterize? 

And how Devika are you beginning to use for example Gemini AI and AI Mode in Google search for your very timely research in a fast changing and fascinating area sociologically?

All the best, sociologically, and thanks so much, 

Scott

Yellow-crested cockatoo: [Air-L] Digital Materials Seminar with Devika Narayan (University of Bristol): "Between the Cloud and a Hard Place: A thesis on technological transformation"

cloud computing capitalism

Cloud computing capitalism refers to an economic system where a handful of technology conglomerates—principally ...... , Microsoft, and Google—own and lease the foundational digital infrastructure of the global economy. This model has transformed data and computing power into the dominant form of capital, centralizing enormous wealth and market control. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The shift to cloud-based economic models has completely rewritten how value and infrastructure operate in the modern market: [1, 2]
1. From Asset-Light Platforms to Asset-Heavy Infrastructure
Unlike the early days of platform capitalism (e.g., Airbnb or Uber, which own few physical assets), cloud capitalism relies on massive, highly physical infrastructure. Tech giants are pouring billions into global data centers, semiconductor supply chains, and server farms. These physical networks serve as the absolute foundation for modern artificial intelligence, cloud storage, and corporate IT. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
2. Rent-Seeking and Subscription Models
In traditional industrial capitalism, profits came from manufacturing and selling physical goods. In the cloud era, companies operate primarily as rentiers. Businesses no longer purchase and maintain their own servers; instead, they continuously rent digital capacity and computing power on an ongoing, subscription basis. This structure extracts perpetual wealth from the broader corporate ecosystem, making the cloud provider a permanent bottleneck in the market. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
3. Accelerated Volatility and Market Power
For traditional businesses, moving to cloud services offers a way to cut costs, but it also strips away fixed capital relations. Companies become entirely dependent on scalable digital assets leased from tech giants, which can raise fees at will. The oligopoly controlling this infrastructure essentially dictates the rules of engagement and the pricing for the entire digital economy. [1, 2]
4. Technofeudalism and the Cloud
Economists like Yanis Varoufakis argue that this extreme concentration of power represents a fundamental mutation of capitalism—often referred to as technofeudalism. In this view, tech monopolies act like feudal lords, extracting "digital ground rent" from both consumers and other businesses that rely on their platforms. Instead of relying strictly on market competition, these platforms govern the environments where human behavior and digital interactions occur. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
5. State Alliances and Geopolitics
Computing power and cloud infrastructure have become crucial resources in global geopolitics. Governments and tech companies now form strategic alliances. States require these massive digital platforms to achieve technological supremacy and artificial intelligence dominance, which in turn leads to public subsidies and friendly regulatory environments for cloud expansion. [1, 2, 3]
To dive deeper into the political, economic, and industrial realities of this shift, you can explore the research findings on cloud capitalism published by the Sage Journals or check out the socio-economic analysis presented by the Transnational Institute regarding digital capitalism.

cloud computing capitalism and resistance - manuel castells


Cloud computing acts as the technological infrastructure of modern digital capitalism, enabling global corporations to monopolize data and network flows. Through the lens of Manuel Castells’ "network society", this dynamic sparks constant friction as localized resistance movements use these very same digital networks to build counter-power and alternative economic models. [1]
Castells’ Framework: From Networks to the Cloud
  • The Space of Flows: Castells argues that global capitalism is organized around the "space of flows"—the rapid, invisible, and borderless movement of information, capital, and technology. Cloud computing represents the ultimate realization of this, centralizing computing power and data into the hands of mega-corporations (e.g., Microsoft Azure, A.., Google Cloud). [1, 2]
  • Programming and Switching Power: Power in the network society relies on two main pillars. Programming refers to the ability to dictate the rules and algorithms of digital platforms. Switching is the ability to connect different networks. Cloud monopolies hold immense programming power, essentially acting as the gatekeepers for the modern economy. [1]
Capitalist Accumulation
  • Data as the New Raw Material: In Castells' informational mode of development, data is the primary raw material. The cloud provides the scalable architecture needed to collect, process, and monetize user information on a global scale. [1]
  • Asymmetry and Inequality: Cloud capitalism exacerbates inequalities. While it promises a decentralized, utopian digital experience, it actually centralizes immense wealth and control with a few dominant tech platforms, leaving regions with poor digital infrastructure economically marginalized. [1, 2, 3]
Resistance and Counter-Power
  • Networked Social Movements: True to Castells' theory that "where there is power, there is always counter power," the networked architecture of the internet also empowers grassroots resistance. Movements can easily mobilize across borders by reprogramming digital networks to organize protests, disrupt dominant narratives, and spread alternative ideologies. [1, 2, 3]
  • Alternative Economies: Castells points out that networked resistance extends beyond protesting. In response to the exploitation of digital capitalism, communities are cultivating "non-capitalist" behaviors such as decentralized barter networks, cooperative platforms, and social currencies that aim to bypass dominant corporate structures. [1, 2]
To dive deeper into how digital architecture dictates modern social and economic relations, you can explore Castells' foundational framework in his Information Age Trilogy or examine his empirical research on contemporary mobilizations in "Networks of Outrage and Hope."

Devika Narayan's argument from online slides 

Argument: CLOUD CAPITALISM 1)  Investment into machines has historically slowed down the pace of experimentation and business model transformations ('blitz scaling') or 1a) Machines enable new growth strategies but induce (?) 2) Cloud computing stands to liquify fixed capital arrangements 3) This generates chronic instability and continuous experimentation …


PPPPS C

my definition of the cloud which a google search confirmed - 

the cloud is just an extension of the distributed World Wide Web made of programs 



Also 
cloud computing is "a paradigm for enabling network access to a scalable and elastic pool of shareable physical or virtual resources with self-service provisioning and administration on demand"

Question - 
What role does hacking, say in India, play in responding to companies’ monopolistic digital tactics in the distributive internet (one definition of the CLOUD) which web (on the internet) or cloud, is still open in many ways due to network neutrality for example ( in the US) ?  What are skillful small company strategies to navigate large IT companies (say from India, or Great Britain, or France)? How can countries create scalable IT companies ?

how In the context of the US, can the US federal government provide a way to counteract private companies' cloud computing, for example, & by leveling the playing field?


The US federal government counteracts the dominance of private cloud computing and levels the digital playing field through antitrust legislation, targeted public procurement policies, open-source mandates, and strict compliance standards. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The US government balances the cloud computing ecosystem and ensures equitable competition through several key mechanisms:
1. Antitrust and Market Competition Legislation
  • Restricting Monopolies: Federal entities actively monitor and combat market concentration to prevent major cloud service providers (CSPs) from monopolizing government contracts and stifling smaller competitors. [1]
  • Legislative Action: Lawmakers have introduced frameworks like the Protecting AI and Cloud Competition in Defense Act to reduce over-reliance on a few dominant tech companies and promote a fairer bidding ecosystem. [1]
2. Strategic Public Procurement and Contract Vehicles
  • Standardizing Acquisitions: The General Services Administration (GSA) utilizes Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts and large-scale agreements (like the OneGov strategy) to lower costs and create a standardized "one-stop shop" that makes it easier for diverse vendors to do business with federal agencies. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Multi-Cloud Strategies: Agencies deploy multi-cloud and hybrid environments so that they are not locked into proprietary technology, spreading workloads across multiple public and private CSPs. [1, 2]
3. Regulatory Frameworks and Standardization
  • FedRAMP Implementation: The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) standardizes security and risk assessments for cloud products and services across the federal government. While this ensures high cybersecurity standards, it also establishes clear, leveled requirements that all private cloud vendors must meet to compete for government dollars. [1, 2]
4. Open Source and Democratized Compute Infrastructure
  • Open-Source Mandates: The government promotes the development and utilization of open-source cloud architectures. By relying on and contributing to open-source software, agencies reduce their dependence on vendor-specific "walled gardens" and restrictive software licensing practices. [1, 2]
  • Public Compute Initiatives: Programs like the National Science Foundation's CloudBank level the playing field by granting academic institutions and smaller developers subsidized access to advanced cloud resources. [1]
5. Research, Development, and Infrastructure Subsidies
  • Advancing US Leadership: Government policies, such as recent Executive Orders focused on AI infrastructure, fund the construction and development of next-generation data centers. This socializes the massive risk of building foundational infrastructure, which in turn fosters a highly resilient, competitive digital ecosystem for both public and private entities to utilize

Interesting … In the context of Google, which gets much funding from the US government … and which I would argue is socially responsible, but also "Big Tech" and strategizing around questions of growth as a huge US company … I think the acceleration of AI Cloud transformation can challenge big companies' monopolistic practices … US Federal Government - Google is a public-private development in cloud it. What do you think? (Free WUaS is also in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program … as a disclaimer) What do you think? )

and see this ...

How can the acceleration of AI cloud computing's transformation even challenge 'big tech' companies' monopolistic practices ... and how would sociologist Manuel Castells demonstrate and give examples of this?


Artificial intelligence (AI) cloud computing can challenge "big tech" monopolies by decentralizing infrastructural control and lowering barriers to entry. Startups and open-source models can bypass proprietary hardware lock-ins, utilizing globally distributed, serverless cloud architectures to host powerful models locally or on alternative, specialized cloud networks. [1, 2, 3]
Sociologist Manuel Castells would demonstrate this challenge using his seminal theory of the Network Society. His framework views society not through rigid, top-down corporate hierarchies, but as a fluid ecosystem of "nodes" and "flows". [1, 2, 3]
Here is how Castells would analyze this dynamic:
1. "The Space of Flows" Overcoming "The Space of Places"
Castells argues that power and wealth in the Information Age are organized through a "space of flows"—the near-instantaneous transmission of information, capital, and data across global networks. [1, 2]
  • The Monopolistic Practice: Historically, 'Big Tech' controlled this space by owning the physical infrastructure (server farms, fiber-optic cables, centralized computing clusters). [1, 2]
  • The AI Challenge: The acceleration of cloud computing means that digital infrastructure is becoming virtualized and decentralized. By utilizing on-demand edge computing and distributed processing, independent innovators can route around Big Tech's centralized server chokeholds, creating alternative nodes of knowledge production. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
2. The Restructuring of Capital and Innovation Nodes
Castells highlights how capital is highly concentrated in the hands of global networks, allowing massive incumbent firms to acquire disruptive startups before they become competitive threats. [1]
  • The Monopolistic Practice: Dominant cloud providers (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure) offer computing credits and platform access to AI startups, functioning as a form of "soft" vertical integration where the giants control both the storefront and the underlying computational plumbing. [1, 2]
  • The AI Challenge: Because open-source foundation models (such as Meta’s Llama or the open models hosted on Hugging Face) are becoming increasingly accessible, AI development no longer requires massive capital outlays to train models from scratch. This allows a decentralized, collaborative "variable geometry" of developers to innovate without being absorbed by tech behemoths. [1]
3. "The Power of Identity" and Alternative Networks
Castells posits that resistance in the Network Society arises when groups develop counter-networks and reclaim autonomy based on localized or specific values (what he calls "the power of identity"). [1, 2, 3]
  • The Challenge: Castells would point to the open-source AI community and decentralized computing networks as a form of sociotechnical resistance. Instead of depending on closed, proprietary algorithms, communities of developers, academics, and civic organizations can collaborate to build open AI ecosystems tailored to local needs or public interests. By pooling consumer and developer resources into peer-to-peer or decentralized networks, they erode the dependency on Big Tech gatekeepers.

Dear Devika, All, 

Thanks again for your timely, topical and stimulating Sciences' Po "Cloud Computing Capitalism" talk (I'll call this), which I blogged further about here on Saturday May 30, 2026 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/05/chinese-pangolin-air-l-digital.html - and with an email to the SEC (Security and Exchange Commission) Chairman Paul S.

{Also, with regards to the University of Bristol and Fettes College too, just shared this with my mother Jane, Sid Mazumdar HHS, and Ed Smyth MD .. and in seeking a "life partner to be who might be a great fit, and connection - a MD to be? with a good mind?, some Scots' background?, Protestant too??, Unitarian U or Friendly NtF Quaker background too ?, & abolitionist-oriented, too? World Univ & Sch continues to be an incredible once in a blue moon opportunity ... 8 limbs of Yoga & Desiderata, with an enchanting 'face' (& search on "face" & 'enchanted' here) - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html but how? "Speak your truth ..." ... Flora Halford-MacLeod???, and re my having Longshanks (1239 - 1307, Edward I) as an ancestor I think & re Fettes' George Preston's online photo (https://issuu.com/fettes_college/docs/fettes_ofa_newsletter_2021_issue_66-2/56?e=61&o=1), and name-wise too ? - Scott" ... and please forward to Flora if possible ...}

How might we proceed with exploring all of this further, Devika and all?  Will invite you all further to World Univ & Sch's open Weekly Business Meeting on Mondays at 10 am Pacific Time (which is 7pm CEST time in France), and where WUaS has two wings too, planned in England WUaS, France WUaS and India WUaS. 

All the best, thanks, warm regards,

Dear Chairman Atkins at the SEC, All (and please see the PS for who's in the BCC), 

Greetings, and thanks for your edifying talk yesterday Tue 5/26/26 at Stanford Law School's Rock Center for Corporate Governance, which I watched online beginning around 4pm PT, and for the conversation after your presentation (with Paul Robinson - do I have his correct name?). Thanks too for your expressed interest in facilitating Initial Public Offering (IPOs), your talking about cryptocurrencies and I think 3 agencies handling these in the US federal government, and possibly about a spacex IPO too. 


O a 
Has the SEC facilitated any IPOs for California for profit general stock company legal entities e.g. in the state of CA? 


1
And greetings from free-to-students' wiki World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ (since 2010) - (the 1st wing of World Univ & Sch, a 501 c 3), building on MIT OCW in 7 languages, and developing in all 200 countries as world class online universities, and in all 7159 living languages as wiki schools for people to people wiki-learning and wiki-teaching, and with our 2nd wing the WUaS Corporation - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html (2017) (and Academic Press at WUaS planned in all 7159 living languages with machine and human translation, and the Physical-Digital Educational Services stores for books computers, robotics, groceries, hospital technologies + and think a Walmart product line but for education, and even potentially initially with a WUaS Store Within a Store model inside Walmart stores in all of their 19 out of 200 countries, where WUaS plans to open our WUaS Educational Services' Stores in all 200 countries, AND potentially with Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - with which Pi Network WUaS has some partnering emails, AND in WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University ... each a Wikidata PIN # - and potentially to end poverty too). The WUaS Corporation is seeking to list initially on a stock market in the US, and then potentially multi-list on many or all stock markets in all 200 countries, such that central banks could even buy Pi Cryptocurrency from the WUaS Corporation, (AND on our first World Univ & Sch that we could receive reimbursement from all 200 countries Ministries of Education, and all 50 US states departments of Education, per student per year, along the lines of what it costs to study at MIT, Harvard or Stanford, ~$65,000 per year, for the richest countries, and since WUaS free online degrees are building upon Creative Commons 4 licensed MIT OCW in 7 languages, which CC-4 licensing says anyone can 1) share MIT OCW freely, 2) adapt it eg with AI and ML, but 3) non-commercially, so non-profit 501 c 3 World Univ & Sch will be free-to-students' in all 200 countries, thanks to this CC-4 licensing, which WUaS thinks is competitive too). WUaS is also in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, and seeks to develop in a #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForEverything (and think possibly new digital virtual real estate even ... eg in Google Street View with time slider, GMaps, GEarth, TensorFlowAI Gemini and at the GCell GMolecule and GQubit etc levels)... 


2 
Here in the M 5/25/26 #WUaSWeeklyBusinessMeeting (loosely conducted in the manner of unprogrammed Friends NtFs' Quakers), I address further some of the above, and also announce your talk at Stanford Law School (in agenda item B) - 

Monday, May 25, 2026
Mount Tamalpais: Recording of M 5/25/26 @WorldUnivAndSch @WUaSPress #WUaSWeeklyBusinessMeeting #OlympicStudentsWUaS ~ * (was - M 5/25/26 & 6/1/26 open best STEAM Creative Commons' licensed OpenCourseWare wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS News and Q&A, with Zoom URL)




3
World Univ & Sch as a 501 c 3 - https://app.candid.org/profile/9121509/world-university-and-school-27-3105368 - has a Wells Fargo Business Account, again on the non-profit side, but is only using a WF checking account for the WUaS Corporation for-profit general stock company legal entity in the state of CA. Both wings of WUaS have no money to speak of whatsoever, and have not become financially operational. 


3 A
Vivek Hutheesing with his Cornell Bachelor's degree in Finance, and his Columbia university MBA could conceivably become the CEO of the WUaS Corporation, or the CFO of both wings; 


3 B
And World University And School has kept both wings very separate since 2017 when the WUaS Corp incorporated as a result of a Stanford Law CodeX presentation (Roland Vogl, Executive Director), and in BCC, and thanks to Tom Martin's LawDroid AI software which created the WUaS Corp Articles of Incorporation in the state of CA in about 10 minutes, and entrepreneurially. 


4 
How best to list the WUaS Corporation on a US stock market initially,  and which one, and as WUaS codes further both WUaS wings' IT, AI and ML Web platforms, and in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, and as WUaS proceeds also in seeking to partner with Walmart with their great information technologies, and in all 19 of its countries, and in those countries' main languages? This is the main question I'm emailing you about, at the SEC, and also as WUaS seeks to deploy with the full US federal toolkit. 


5
Also, and on a dire note, having just had my vehicle shot at on M 5/18/26 on Skyline Drive in Oakland CA near the chabot space and science center, and received about 5 related death threats recently from the tesla / spacex / via TwitterX too nole ksum in reverse 'death threats' death cults' companies, and re possibly international organized crime being in cahoots with even US uniformed armed services eg US space agencies, and in growing a WUaS worldwide abolition movement to protect people, and among all 7.9 billion people, and see the PPPPPS, I'd be very wary at the SEC US federal security and exchange commission of granting the spaceX IPO and initial public offering in the event you possibly institutionalize further international organized crime and their latent networks of violence - AND regarding the stock market tragically especially.


5 A
I've also received death threats from jp morgan chase bank, while in asylum in western Pennsylvania and Massachusetts from the SF Bay Area for about 2.5 years after calling the local police while living at 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 (for about 13 years) in September March of 2020 (about 6 months into the SARS CoV2 pandemic lockdown) after which I moved into a safe house or unsafe house north of Berkeley in El Cerrito for about 2.5 years too, and then fled for my life I would say (re death threats in the SF Bay Area too) to the eastern seaboard, and then returned to the SF Bay Area first departing Pittsburgh PA on 12/10/2024 for the SF Bay Area, because in my analysis the SF Bay Area had become safer ... but apparently not with the recent 5 death threats, and the gunshot to my vehicle.


5 B
Sadly there was also a murderous run through attempt of me in my first asylum house in Pittsburgh PA in March of April of 2023 by craven? psychopath?? cmu undergraduate at the time french swiss or lebanese soldier frederic khayat, eventually receiving US federal social security checks (I saw) ... and potentially in cahoots with US uniformed armed services AND  foreign uniformed armed services in switzerland, Lebanon and regarding international organized crime too.


5 C
And I've continued to seek to grow a WUaS abolition movement with  jp morgan chase bank with operations in about 100 out of 200 countries, and regarding their potential involvement in international organized crime in seeking to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft, military targeting (frederic khayat even?), etc industries internationally ... and in an email thread with jp morgan chase bank now numbering 162 emails in December 2023 ... and regarding some of these companies' violence gangs (death squads even?? - both in the us and in the other 100 countries chase bank is in??) ... and in seeking to stay alive from US corporations' international organized crime ... 


6 
In World Univ & Sch's WUaS current ongoing WUaS start up phase 
you'll see the 3 email addresses below from the BCC - 




... and I currently get the email to all of these. WUaS has explored the possibility of Vivek Hutheesing, if WUaS could pay him for example, becoming the CEO, but it might make much more sense if he became CFO of both wings for example too. But how would this work with WUaS being both a nonprofit  501 c 3, and a for-profit general stock company in the state of CA, with INCREDIBLE potential synergies between the 2 wings, planned in all 200 countries as world class free online Universities, and in 7159 languages for speakers of these, and in WUaS coding for all 7.9 people people on the planet? 



7 
A simple question: 
If the SEC could help WUaS think all the above through further, and in terms of developing IT, AI, and ML, how best could the WUaS Corporation -http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - do an IPO, and somehow with the SEC's approval and thinking and administrative approval?


8
World University and School WUaS is still growing, and blog post by blog post, and I'm still alive, having sought US federal protection for my mother, my brother, both the eastern seaboard, and myself many many months ago - and from international organized crime .. and EVEN as aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic drug therapies may be emerging, 1st ones FDA approved by 2050? And the WUaS Corporation would like to develop these therapies too and to sell such pharmaceuticals eventually, and with the help of a #RealisticVirtualEarthForAgingReversal, a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics (#hashtags on #TwitterX and #LinkedIN, and #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForEverything (and see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI" #WorldUniversityINSchool updated 3/2/24 - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 - which is the first mention of a #ReealisticVirtualEarth that I know of other than by WUaS) ... and get them to my mother in her 90s, and brother, and for the long run, and as World University and School seeks to develop over the next centuries even and with IT, AI and ML.

Looking forward to learning further how best to develop the WUaS Corporation, and with an IPO, and potentially to list it on a stock exchange in the US.

World University and School WUaS is growing, thanks, Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga), abolition, Friendly NtF Quaker and Unitarian greetings,
