About

L.M. Salvado is an AI possibilist: the risks are real — he names them — and so is the route through them. He founded Via News Network, an AI-native newsroom built around full source-traceability, and tracks how artificial intelligence is reshaping markets, capital allocation, and labor, the quiet shifts that happen before the headlines catch up. He also owns several small local businesses, where he has made the same AI-driven workforce decisions the book examines, from the capital side of the change he otherwise reports on.

He wrote Stakism because the patterns he watches every day, and the ones he has lived as an owner, told him the system needed an architectural response, not a patch. The book is Version 1.0: a proposal open to refinement, an invitation to engagement.

Written by a human and an AI, together — argued, checked, and corrected line by line. Not generated at a prompt, but made.
