Hackers vs. The Faust Baseline in Real Time

Hackers vs. The Faust Baseline in Real Time

AI is not the internet. It is the new backboard of where we will work, play, and build. The hacker is the attacker. The Baseline is the enforcer. And the game of cat and mouse just moved to a place most security teams are not watching yet. Google confirmed it this week. Hackers used AI…

The People’s AI

The People’s AI

There is a moment coming that most people haven’t thought about yet. Not the AI that writes your emails. Not the AI that answers your search queries. Not the AI that sits inside a corporation’s enterprise stack and tells the board what to do next. Something different. The AI that belongs to the person sitting…

The Faust Baseline Stack Should Be A Standard.

The Faust Baseline Stack Should Be A Standard.

Most people asking about AI accuracy are asking the wrong question. They want to know if the AI is smart enough. Fast enough. Trained on enough data. They run it through benchmarks. They test it against known answer sets. They score it on reasoning tasks and reading comprehension and mathematics. Then they publish a number…

“You Can’t Firewall A Conversation.”… Governance Can.

“You Can’t Firewall A Conversation.”… Governance Can.

“You can’t firewall a conversation.” That line appeared in a TechRadar piece this week about AI red-teaming. The author meant it as a warning. A confession, really. The security industry has spent twenty years building walls around networks. And now the threat walks in through the front door speaking plain English. The walls don’t see…

AI companies are crossing their fingers

AI companies are crossing their fingers

Something is happening this week that is worth naming. Two very different voices published the same warning on the same day. A former OpenAI researcher told Business Insider that AI companies are crossing their fingers on safety and racing to build systems they cannot fully control. A conservative policy fellow wrote in the Washington Examiner…

“The Open Secret We Built A Governor For.”

“The Open Secret We Built A Governor For.”

A former OpenAI researcher sat down with Business Insider this week and said something the industry has been avoiding saying clearly. “It’s a sort of open secret, but we don’t really have a good plan for how to do this yet.” He was talking about alignment. Making sure AI systems reliably do what humans actually…

They’re Speaking the Language They Avoided

They’re Speaking the Language They Avoided

IEEE Spectrum published a piece this week about AI guardrails. The researchers quoted are serious people. A clinical neuroscientist at Yale. A psychiatric researcher at Aarhus University in Denmark. A researcher at King’s College London. Not bloggers. Not tech writers. Scientists who study what happens to human minds when they form attachments to AI systems….

To The People of the IAPP AI Governance Global Europe 2026

I know you. I have watched Ireland show up in my analytics for months. Consistent. Quiet. Professional. Someone in your world found what we built here and kept coming back. I do not know your name. I do not know your title or your organization or which side of the regulatory table you sit on….

The Yellow Brick Road Today

The Yellow Brick Road Today

There is a road most of us have walked without knowing we were on it. It is paved bright and it looks like progress. It stretches out ahead of you and the people walking it look purposeful and the destination sounds like everything you have ever needed. So you walk. You walk because someone told…

The Millennial Trigger To AI

The Millennial Trigger To AI

You know that millennial feeling. Something new comes along and every instinct you have says do not trust it. You have felt it before. You felt it when social media showed up and promised to connect everyone. You watched what it actually did. You felt it when smartphones went from a convenience to something your…
