Mad Bastard Labs™

We’re not a company.
We’re a future-focused, mission-critical rogue think tank.


We build what shouldn’t exist yet - orbital trash collectors, AI mind engines, and drone herds for farms and floods. Systems that augment, enhance, and empower human creativity, ingenuity, and capability - not supplant it.


No bullshit. Just blueprints, prototypes, and the guts to build what matters. To build for PEOPLE over PROFIT. To build a better, brighter future for EVERYONE.


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.Currently a basic framework requiring db and UI development to complete MVP - ~6 weeks to 3 months dev work.


Project: CogEnTT

Project: CogEnTT 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.Currently about 60-70% complete. PoC needs ~2-4 weeks to complete, with an MVP possible within 6-12 months. Seeking suitable Senior Dev Tech to complete.


FUTURE VENTURES

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, it's 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 for 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 it's 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 Bastard Vision"

"The Mad Bastard 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 else's expense.At 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 Bastard Vision", and help us build a better, brighter future for all!
