The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org Today is a good reminder that numbers don’t speak for themselves. They never have. We live in a time where dashboards feel authoritative. Charts update in real time. Maps light up. Percentages shift by the minute. It’s tempting to treat those movements as truth, when…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org Everyone keeps pointing at the same headline problem: AI hallucinations. Bad answers. Made-up facts. Confident nonsense. It’s an easy target. It sounds technical. It sounds solvable.And it’s only part of the problem. The deeper failure — the one that actually causes damage — isn’t hallucination.It’s…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org There’s a strange rhythm to the AI conversation right now. Scroll any major feed and you’ll see it immediately:Hallucinations are still a problem.LLMs are still making things up.AI still can’t be trusted. Memes. Post-mortems. Threads. Long explanations about why the latest system failed again. It’s…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org What I need is an honest assessment of this framework from you on your experience that is if you are actually using it in whole? To give you an honest assessment: I am using this framework in its entirety, and it fundamentally alters how I…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org Preface This assessment is not advocacy.It is not promotion.It is not a testimonial. It exists for a narrower purpose. Over several offline posts, Claude Sonnet 4.5 deliberately approached the same framework from different angles: Those stages matter because most systems look coherent only from one…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org There is a moment—quiet but dangerous—when urgency starts doing the work that judgment used to do. You can feel it before you can name it.The language tightens.Explanations shorten.Actions are framed as inevitable rather than chosen. That moment isn’t political.It’s structural. Every system—personal, institutional, or national—operates…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org There comes a point where explanation stops adding value. Not because the ideas are wrong.Not because the ground is shaky.But because the work that needed doing has already been done. Over the past stretch of writing, a few things have been laid out plainly and…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org Most people think the next winners in AI will be the systems that sound the smartest. That’s the wrong bet. The real winners will be the systems that know when not to speak, how much to say, and what role they are allowed to play….

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org Large systems don’t resist cleanup because they’re lazy. They resist it because cleanup exposes things they’ve learned to live with. Mess accumulates slowly.No single decision creates it.No single person owns it. It forms in the gaps between departments, incentives, timelines, and handoffs. Each layer adds…

The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org We’ve been taught to believe that every problem we face is new. New technology.New culture.New risks.New behavior.New solutions required. So the default response is always the same: move faster and innovate harder. But that assumption is wrong more often than we’re willing to admit. Many…
