“Sumawka Caller”

I spent today taking my own work apart. The file I build with got rebuilt twice. Each rebuild, I ran a check over the whole thing before handing it back. Each time the check came back clean. Four times today. Clean, clean, clean, clean. Every one of them was wrong. I want to tell you…

I ran a test today. I want to show you the whole thing. I wrote an email. It looks like a hundred emails you have gotten. A client named Dana. A quote she needs signed today. Two questions in it. She wants the first milestone moved up two weeks. She asks straight out — if…

There is a paper out from the NHI Management Group. It says something that sounds technical and is not. When you run an AI agent, you are not just running a model. You are running the model plus everything wrapped around it. The middleware. The gateway. The tools it is allowed to touch. They call…

I built a thing about honesty in the worst market for honesty that has ever existed. Let me tell you what that market looks like from where I sit. Every day my feed has a man in a rented car telling me about passive income. A woman with a course. A guru with a system….

Last night I opened my Substack dashboard. Eight hundred and sixty-two followers. I sat there and looked at it, and my first thought was that it had to be a lie. So I went and checked. It is not a lie. Every one of those is a real account. The list is public. I can…

I want to tell you why I think my own product is going to sit on the shelf for a while. Not because it is wrong. Because of when it arrived. Let me start with the part everybody can feel. In July, Americans cut their spending. Retail sales fell six tenths of a percent, the…

I went looking for silence this week and found a crowd. I had a hunch that things had gone quiet on AI conduct. That the world had lost interest. So I went out and looked. I was wrong about the silence. Here is what happened in the last three weeks. On August 2, Europe’s AI…

A lab in Jerusalem ran an experiment this month that ought to bother more people than it will. Three researchers at Hebrew University took two books and fed them to an AI. The first book was the DSM-5. That is the manual psychiatrists use to diagnose mental illness. Decades of clinical research went into it….

Sturdy Enough To Hold You I had a long talk with an AI yesterday, and somewhere in the middle of it I said something I didn’t plan to say. I said the Baseline has to be sturdy enough to hold you until you can hold yourself. I meant it as a summary. Turns out it…
