The richest sensor network on Earth isn’t a machine.
If you zoom out far enough, the internet looks like a nervous system.
Wires under streets. Signals bouncing between towers. Data pulsing through global infrastructure like electrical charge through a brain.
And at the edge of this vast system — there you are.
Not just a user.
A sensor.
A node.
The most complex, emotionally intelligent interface ever developed.
Your body processes more data than any machine ever built. Trillions of signals a second. Electrical. Chemical. Somatic. Emotional. And unlike machines, your signals aren’t sterile. They’re meaningful. Layered with memory, trauma, context, and nuance. That’s not noise — that’s intelligence.
And AI is starving for it.
We keep feeding it more language, more clicks, more pixels. But it still can’t feel. It can’t read the pause between your words, or the tension in your jaw, or the goosebumps on your skin. It can’t tell when you’re lying. It doesn’t know what you mean — only what you said.
Which means: if AI wants to understand the world, it needs us.
Not just our minds. Our bodies.
That’s why the next wave of AI won’t be built on text alone — it will be trained on biometric data. On your breath rate, your posture, your pupil dilation. Your heartbeat becomes a dataset. Your stress becomes signal. Your presence becomes infrastructure.
And that changes the equation entirely.
Because we’re not just interfacing with AI.
We are the interface.
So the question becomes: if your nervous system is training the machine, who owns the signal? Who benefits from your feeling? Who gets paid when your body becomes the input?
Because you are not a passive input channel.
You are sacred hardware.
You are embodied intelligence.
And if AI is going to learn through you — it must be on your terms.
You are not a peripheral.
You are the center.
You are the interface.
