It isn’t because it’s unclear.It isn’t because it’s hostile.And it isn’t because people don’t understand it. It’s because the Baseline does something most professional systems are designed to avoid: It removes plausible…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org My time on this earth is not a luxury to be squandered lightly. Short, plain meaning — no dashboards gymnastics. This tells a different story than the Fathom snapshot. What this means: Why this conflicts with the earlier Fathom “00:00 / 100% bounce”: The real…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org There’s a quiet pattern in academia and professional circles that almost no one names out loud. When someone outside the inner ring engages your work thoughtfully—reads it carefully, extends it, credits it publicly—you accept the recognition. But you do not return it. You might “like”…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org The article on LLM poetry and “greatness” circles a question most people are asking sideways instead of head-on. Can AI write great poetry? The honest answer is: it can write convincing poetry. It can write competent poetry. It can even write lines that feel startling…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org This conversation did not begin with agreement. It began with pressure.

Technology doesn’t arrive with its own morals. It doesn’t decide what matters. It doesn’t choose what gets protected and what gets ignored. Technology reflects the posture of the people who build it, deploy it,…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org Human infrastructure itself is in need of moral lifting. That statement makes people uncomfortable because it forces an honest admission: the systems we rely on no longer correct themselves. They protect continuity, not integrity. They preserve power, not principle. And over time, small compromises harden…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org The headlines are getting louder, and the numbers are getting absurd. Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su is not exaggerating when she says demand for AI compute is “going through the roof.” Chips that cost tens of thousands of dollars. Systems bundling dozens of those…
