The price of being right too soon and how Alan Turing helps me handle It...
There are certain kinds of problems that don’t just require intelligence.
They don’t just require endurance.
They don’t just require resources.
They require an inhuman level of will.
The kind of problem where the path forward is invisible to everyone but you.
Alan Turing knew this, not just intellectually, but viscerally.
For years, he was surrounded by people who couldn’t see what he saw.
They dismissed his approach as too abstract, too far removed from their way of thinking.
They saw him as difficult, defiant, impossible to work with.
They were 100% certain he was wrong.
And because of that certainty, they did what people always do when confronted with a mind they don’t understand.
They tried to shut him down.
They cut off his resources.
They tortured him.
And yet, in the end, he was the one who cracked perhaps the greatest code of all time.
Not because they eventually saw his vision,
but because he built something so irrefutable that reality forced them to change their minds.
This is the price of seeing what others can’t.
This is the price of solving a problem no one else knows how to solve.
The Turing Machine: Mapping the Unseen Framework of Reality
In 1936, Alan Turing introduced a hypothetical machine, now known as the Turing machine, that could perform any calculation that could be expressed as an algorithm.
It was a mathematical model of reality before computers even existed.
✅ It had an infinite tape (representing limitless possibility).
✅ A tape head that could read, write, and adjust.
✅ A control unit that dictated the machine’s actions.
It wasn’t a real machine.
It was something deeper. A mental model, a way of thinking about computation before computation existed.
Turing saw reality before the world had words for it.
And I know what that feels like.
My “Turing Machine” Moment: Seeing the Real Current of Influence Before the World Had Words for It
In 2021, I raised millions to fix influencer marketing,
only to burn millions making everything broken about it 10x worse.
I didn’t just fail to stop influencer fraud;
I industrialized it.
I thought I was building an advocacy engine,
but I had accidentally built a machine that optimized for deception at scale…
Like Turing’s machine, my system worked,
but for the opposite objective function...
And that failure forced me into isolation.
The Bombe: Cracking the Code Only Turing Could See
During World War II, Turing worked at Bletchley Park, where he played a crucial role in cracking the German Enigma code.
The problem:
❌ Every message was encrypted differently each day.
❌ The code was designed to be unbreakable without knowing the machine’s settings.
❌The British military believed in the futile efforts of brute force and manual testing.
Turing saw the problem differently.
Instead of trying to manually decode messages, he designed the Bombe, an electromechanical device that could run millions of logical deductions per second, systematically eliminating impossibilities.
He didn’t “solve” Enigma manually.
He built a machine that could think through the problem faster than humans could.
And once it worked, it changed the entire war.
My “Bombe Moment”: Cracking the Code of Influencer Marketing Deception
In 2023, I was accelerating into in my “pre-Bombe phase”:
The system I had built was failing.
The industry itself didn’t yet realize the problem I saw.
Then, my “Bombe Moment” hit like a freight train:
I saw the deception crisis for what it really was.
Not an accident. Not a byproduct. The core mechanic of the system itself.
And it was accelerating toward collapse.
The problem wasn’t that influencer marketing lacked compliance.
The problem was that deception was the entire game.
Every tool built to “optimize” wasn’t solving the issue—it was feeding it.
A compliance layer would be The thing to keep the industry from eating itself alive.
And not due to regulatory challenges. But due war.
As luck would have it thanks largely to Alan Turing, in 2023, AI unlocked a once-in-a-generation opportunity to:
✔ Automate compliance
✔ Protect brands before lawsuits hit
✔ Standardize regulation enforcement at scale
I had spent 5 years mapping the behavioral mechanics, incentive structures, and decision-making models across:
✔ Brands – Who wanted virality but lacked oversight.
✔ Agencies – Who focused on short-term ROI, ignoring risk.
✔ Social Media Platforms – Who had no enforcement mechanisms.
✔ Regulators – Who finally had the teeth to take action.
✔ Consumers – Who were ready to weaponize legal tech against deceptive ads.
✔ The Lawyers – Who, with different allegiances to each, pulled levers accordingly.
No one else had seen the full map.
No one else had spent the last 4 years navigating the map.
No one else could build this “Bombe.”
So that’s exactly what I set out to do.
The Logical Progression of Being First
When you are early to something that reveals itself as real, the reaction will always follow the same sequence:
1️⃣ Rejection: “This isn’t a real problem.”
2️⃣ Doubt: “Okay, but your solution won’t work.”
3️⃣ Resistance: “It’s working, but it won’t scale.”
4️⃣ Reframing: “It was inevitable all along.”
Turing had to go through this sequence.
The Wright brothers had to go through this sequence.
Every major technological shift has followed this sequence.
This is not personal.
It is simply the mathematics of being first.
Of inevitability.
The Real Mistake Made By Observers
The mistake my investors who forfeited their shares for free (after paying millions for them) was never in doubting me.
Doubt is rational.
Skepticism is rational.
Mission-critical ingredients.
❌ Their mistake was in moving from doubt to certainty.
In doing so they revealed the limits of their own thinking.
Alan Turing enabled me to see this,
believe this,
and most importantly, have the willpower to keep building in isolation for 5 years.
The Will to Crack the Code
Alan Turing didn’t struggle because he was wrong.
He struggled because he was right too soon.
His battle wasn’t just the technical challenge at hand.
He had to prove a reality to people who lacked the pattern recognition to see it.
Alan Turing’s Greatest Contributions to the World
✔ The Turing Machine: The foundation of modern computing.
✔ The Bombe: The machine that cracked Enigma and changed the course of WWII.
✔ The Foundations of AI: The principles that led to modern artificial intelligence.
My Greatest Contributions to the World—Still Loading. But Not For Long.
⬜ The First Compliance Infrastructure for UGC & Influencer Marketing: Cracking the code on “The Mother” problem before the industry saw it.
⬜ The Fast-Moving Water Principle Applied to Regulatory Tipping Points: Seeing the market shift before the lawsuits spiraled out of control, and steering fearlessly into it.
