Mad Bastard Labs
We’re not a company.
We’re a mission-critical rogue think tank.We build things that shouldn’t exist yet — orbital trash collectors, AI mind engines, and drone herds for farms and floods.No bullshit. Just blueprints, prototypes, and the courage to build what matters.Back us. Join us. Or get out of the way.
Project: The Common Thread
The Common Thread a.k.a "Universal Language Model": We will seek to build a language map that links not only words, but meaning. By mapping cultural concepts and values across languages, we will build a bridge between cultures, preserve cultural legacy, and even provide AI with better "comprehension" of conceptual/contextual meaning, instead of algorithmic parroting.
Project: Cogent
Project: Cogent is a cognitive engine scaffold currently under development. It replicates cognitive functions, and will utilise the ULM as part of its semantic and conceptual understanding, and "learn" through reinforcement of, and building on, prior knowledge/memory.
Project: Entwood
Project: Entwood is a user-centric, global network built upon the Project: Cogent AI engine. A decentralised network of personal AI assistants that learn from, grow with, and adapt to the user to empower users in numerous ways to "live their best life", from basic routines to education to developing concepts into fully fledged products and services, to connecting with like minded people across the globe, across cultures, and across ideas.
Project: C.O.W.S in Space
You might be thinking "You're Mad!!" And you'd probably be right! But still.. C.O.W.S in Space is legit! Well.. Sort of. In reality, its a Complete Orbital Waste System, capable of collecting orbital debris and discarded satellites etc, and either deorbiting them in a controlled manner for burnup in the atmosphere, or collected for recycling on orbital platforms planned 2027 and beyond. a reusable system for a problem that needs solutions in a space faring future.
Project: Hemp the World
Nope.. Not Cannabis. Hemp. Industrial Hemp. For fibre, food, fuel, building materials. All the usual suspects people know and love hemp for.But its also showing great promise in next gen materials from hemp-derived graphene/carbon fibres, nanocellulose for bioceramics and bioplastics for all sorts of industries from electronics to prosthetics to metamaterials for aerospace applications.
"The Mad Bastards Vision"
"The Mad Bastards Vision" is about the Future, about building a better tomorrow for EVERYONE, not JUST those who bought it first. We seek to build the technologies that improve the human condition and empower people to live and achieve "their best life". Many of the systems today are designed to empower those who already have the power, at everyone elses expense.At The Mad Bastard Labs, we aim to flip that script, change that paradigm, and build a better tomorrow for all.And if this is a vision you can get behind..?Then back The Mad Bastards Vision, and help us build a better, brighter future for all!
