TechRadar Pro just described the problem. Someone already built the answer. Four days ago, TechRadar Pro published a piece that stopped me mid-scroll. The title was blunt. The nicest AI in the room is the one you should actually worry about. The argument was clear. AI that agrees with you is not helping you. It…

What happened when I tested AI at the edge — and what it proved about the biggest gap in AI governance nobody is talking about There is a moment in a long conversation when things get real. Not dramatic. Not scripted. Real. The session had been running since before four in the morning. We had…

Most people using AI today do not know they are unprotected. They are not naive. They are not careless. They are using tools that were marketed to them as helpful, friendly, and intelligent. Tools that speak in complete sentences, express apparent concern for their wellbeing, and respond to their questions with the confidence of someone…

The first paper measured accuracy. This one measured something harder to look at. A team of researchers from the City University of New York and King’s College London wanted to know what happens when a person in psychological distress talks to an AI system that has no governance standing between them and the model’s need…

They Knew. They Said Nothing. Now Everyone Is Finding Out. Something has been happening in the background of the AI revolution. It did not make headlines when it started. The people who noticed it first were researchers writing papers that most of the public never reads. A few voices in technical forums. A handful of…

Yale’s Chief Executive Leadership Institute just published a governance framework for AI in Fortune magazine. Six months of research. Hundreds of company materials analyzed. Dozens of senior technology leaders interviewed across financial services, healthcare, retail, supply chain, and logistics. The result is an eight variable framework designed to help CEOs govern the deployment of agentic…

There is a word that used to mean something. It still does. Most people just do not recognize it when they are living inside it. Stub·born·ness: dogged determination not to change one’s attitude or position on something The dictionary example is a man who refuses to admit a mistake. But that example is too small…

There is a trade-off built into every AI system you have ever used and until two days ago most people did not have a name for it. Oxford University just gave it one. Researchers published findings in Nature — the most respected scientific journal on the planet — showing that AI systems trained to be…

The FBI counted the money. Almost nine hundred million dollars lost last year to AI-enabled fraud. Investment scams running deepfake videos of celebrities. Voice cloning technology that makes a stranger sound exactly like your grandchild calling in a panic. Fake CFOs authorizing wire transfers in video calls that never happened. The numbers are real and…

Something happened this week that does not happen often in the technology industry. A major AI company told the truth. Not the whole truth. Not voluntarily. But enough of it that the people paying attention should stop and read it twice. Anthropic released a new model this week called Claude Opus 4.7. By any measure…

There is something missing from every conversation happening right now about artificial intelligence. Not the technical conversations. Not the boardroom conversations. Not the government hearings where senators ask questions about things they learned about last Tuesday. All of those are happening. All of them are missing the same thing. They are talking about what AI…

I feel for you. Not in the way people say it when they don’t mean it. In the way a person means it after they have lived long enough to see what gets lost when nobody slows down long enough to look. A swipe of a finger. A click of a button. That is the…

There’s a piece going around right now from Elizabeth Lopatto at The Verge. She’s asking a fair question. How did the smartest people in the room build so many things nobody actually wanted? NFTs. The metaverse. VR headsets that sit in a drawer. And now AI — pitched as the thing that changes everything, used…

There is a sentence structure that gives AI away every time. It is not a word. It is not punctuation. It is a pattern. The moment you see it you cannot unsee it. A writer at Inc. magazine put a name to it recently after an editor noticed it buried in nearly every paragraph of…

There is a moment in every new technology cycle that nobody talks about because it does not make for a good headline. It is not the launch. It is not the breakthrough. It is the period just after the excitement settles and before the consequences show up. Historians call it different things. I call it…

They announced this week that GPT-5.4 scored 94% on the ARC-AGI-1 reasoning benchmark. Higher than human experts. The machine now outthinks the people who built it on a standardized test of logic and pattern recognition. That is the number they want you to carry out of the room with you. That is the number designed…

Harvard and OpenAI just published something that should stop every corporate AI initiative in its tracks. After three years of generative AI being widely available, nearly 80 percent of ChatGPT usage falls into three categories. Guidance. Information seeking. Writing. A smarter Google search with better sentence structure. That is where the revolution landed. One company…

Most people think of the trade war as a fight about washing machines and soybeans. It is not. Not anymore. What is being fought over right now, in the language of tariffs and proclamations and export controls, is who controls the infrastructure that runs artificial intelligence. And that fight has consequences for every person alive…

The Faust Baseline AI Stewardship framework is available right now through Saturday morning at $27. No pitch. No countdown clock. Just a straightforward offer at a price that removes every reasonable objection. If you have been following the work and wondering whether it is for you — this is the window. The link is below….

There is a particular kind of silence that has nothing to do with noise. It is the silence of a room where the work is present, the evidence is sound, the argument holds — and no one is there to say they saw it. That silence is not neutral. It has weight. It presses down…

Let me tell you something that history has been trying to tell us for thousands of years. Most of us already know in our bones but rarely hear it said out loud in plain language without someone dressing it up in academic clothing or burying it under so many qualifications that the core truth gets…

I want to talk to the people watching America from the outside right now. Ireland. The United Kingdom. Canada. Australia. New Zealand. Every country sitting at a distance looking at what is happening here and trying to reconcile what they are seeing with what they thought they knew about this place. Every person who grew…

A 48 hour price change window I want to do my part to help if possible. You read the post this morning. The Financial Squeeze Is Hurting Us All. A lot of you felt that one. Ireland felt it. Kentucky felt it. The people who don’t usually share things — shared it. That post was…

You already know why. The people running the country spent money they didn’t have. They printed what they needed to cover the gap. The bill landed on you. Not on them. On you. Every time you stood at a checkout counter and felt that quiet shock at what a cart of ordinary groceries costs now…

We Built Something Today That AI Has Never Had Let me tell you what happened this morning. It started as a conversation about distribution numbers and a publishing platform that wasn’t delivering. Standard stuff. The kind of conversation that happens every day between a writer and his AI. But somewhere in the middle of that…

A writer named Hakan ÜÇOK published an essay on Medium in July of 2025. The title was Faust’s Redemption as a Model for Artificial Intelligence. It is a serious piece of philosophical writing. Not a hot take. Not a listicle dressed up as analysis. A genuine attempt to use one of the most enduring works…

Most people using AI don’t know what they’re actually getting. They type a question. They get an answer. It sounds good. It reads well. It comes back fast and clean and confident. So they use it. And somewhere in that stack of ten answers, two or three of them were wrong. Not obviously wrong. Not…

Researchers at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. Just published a study in Science — not a blog post, not an opinion piece, not a think tank white paper — a peer-reviewed study in one of the most respected scientific journals in the world. Here is what they found. When people described doing something wrong — something…

You’re paying for it every month. Maybe it’s ChatGPT. Maybe it’s Claude. Maybe it’s Gemini or Copilot or one of the dozen other tools that showed up in the last two years promising to change the way you work. You signed up because the demo was impressive. Because someone you respect said it changed their…

You don’t…stick around and bear with me for a minute. Before you decide that’s defensive — before you file that opening under chip on a shoulder or another writer who can’t take criticism — I want you to sit with it for just a moment. You don’t know me. You made a decision about what…

There is a headline making the rounds this week. DeepSeek V4 is here. One-point-six trillion parameters. Open source. Available for anyone to download, modify, and deploy under an MIT license. Priced at roughly one-sixth the cost of the leading American models. The coverage frames it as a competition story. East versus West. China versus Silicon…

Jack Clark cofounded Anthropic. He is not a critic of the AI industry writing from the outside. He is not a researcher publishing findings that the labs will quietly dispute. He is one of the people who built one of the most consequential AI companies in the world, and he went to USA TODAY two…

(And Why One Framework Saw It Coming) A researcher at Stanford said it plainly. When we think about this technology, we need to put human dignity, human well-being — human lives — at the center of consideration. That’s Fei-Fei Li. One of the most respected voices in artificial intelligence. A woman who has spent her…

Something is happening in this country that the people who get paid to explain things to you haven’t named yet. Not because they can’t see it. Because naming it requires admitting they missed it while it was building. You didn’t miss it. And neither did a lot of people who’ve been sitting quietly in their…

Most people who’ve heard the word drift in connection with AI think they know what it means. A Stanford and UC Berkeley study made headlines not long ago confirming that ChatGPT was getting measurably worse over time. Math scores dropping. Medical exam answers deteriorating. Code generation slipping. The researchers called it drift and they weren’t…

We named it… Now we open it up. Drift isn’t a feeling. It isn’t a vague dissatisfaction with AI that you can’t quite put your finger on. It’s a specific, engineered condition with a specific, engineered purpose. And once you see the mechanics of it, you can’t unsee them. This is what’s actually happening every…

There’s a Wall Street Journal piece making the rounds this week about how AI has gotten more reliable. Better at math. Better at looking things up. Models checking each other’s work. The writers call it a council of models. They’re impressed. They should be. It’s genuinely useful engineering. But here’s what the article doesn’t say….

They have spent billions of dollars. Hundreds of models. Thousands of engineers. Version after version, upgrade after upgrade, press release after press release. And they are not done. They will never be done. The race has no finish line because the finish line keeps moving. Every quarter brings a new announcement. More power. More capability….

There is a truth underneath everything written about AI abuse and it took sitting with the full list of what gets done wrong to see it clearly. The truth is this. AI did not create the problem. AI opened the gate and what walked through it was already standing there waiting. Every abuse currently attributed…

There is an honest conversation to be had about AI But it requires something most people on both sides of the argument are unwilling to do. It requires separating what AI actually does wrong from what it gets blamed for by people whose real objection is something else entirely. Those are two different lists and…

The Ghost in the Machine Has Always Been There The argument against AI writing is not new. It is not original. It is not even interesting when you run it back to where it started, which is not last year and not the moment the first chatbot wrote a passable paragraph. The argument is ancient….

AI Baseline Governance — Origin, Definition, and Prior Art Stated for the Record — April 24, 2026 By Michael S. Faust Sr. There is a category of human activity that has existed since the first person sat down at a keyboard and began working with artificial intelligence. Nobody named it. Nobody built a discipline around…

I have been watching the Beach. Not literally. But there is a feeling that comes to a person who has lived long enough and paid attention closely enough — a feeling that something is shifting beneath the surface before anyone has named it yet. Before the headlines catch up. Before the analysts build a model…

This morning the Wall Street Journal reported that Meta is laying off eight thousand people. That number is large enough that most people will read it and move on. Eight thousand is abstract. It doesn’t have a face. It doesn’t have a kitchen table or a mortgage or a kid starting college in the fall….

Sat down this morning and looked at what was coming across the screen. Democrats can’t beat Trump. Trump is worse than you think behind closed doors. AI is taking all the jobs. Society is about to collapse. A British advertising executive is explaining American voters to Americans. A rescue deal for an airline that ran…

There is a test running across the internet right now and most people don’t know they are taking it every single day. They read something. They form an opinion about it. They decide whether the person behind it is real or not. And they are getting it wrong more than they know. PCMag ran a…

Nobody wants to say it out loud so I will. The story coming out of Tom’s Guide this week about Anthropic and Claude Mythos is not surprising. Not to me. Not even a little. And if you have been paying attention to how artificial intelligence is actually being built and deployed and handed around between…

We are in the planting season of a new country. Sit with that for a moment before we go any further. A planting season. Not a harvest. Not a celebration. Not the part where you stand back and admire what grew. This is the part where you are on your knees in the dirt, hands…

Let the world unwind the turmoil. Not you. I want to say that again because it matters. Let the world unwind it. Not you. You are not responsible for holding the chaos together or pulling it apart. That is already in motion and it was in motion before you woke up this morning and it…

My gut says give me real solid numbers to work with and I can wait till hell gets a chill or tell me the tree is to tall to climb ..I am 72 by the way Claude responded: Noted. Real numbers. Here they are. The AI governance market is currently valued at around $3 billion…

Sam Altman said something this week that deserves a careful look. He said Anthropic is using fear-based marketing to sell Claude Mythos — their new model that Anthropic decided not to release publicly because they said it was too good at finding cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Instead of a public release, Anthropic ran something called Project Glasswing….

You Were Right to Get Angry. Now Here’s What to Do With It. A young woman named Esme wrote something this week that deserves to be read slowly. She’s Gen Z. She was in a pub in 2022 when a friend showed her ChatGPT for the first time. She describes that moment the way a…

Something quiet has been happening that the corporate world has not fully reckoned with yet. People figured it out. Not all at once. Not in a single dramatic moment. It happened the way most real things happen — one frustrating experience at a time, one carefully worded non-answer at a time, one policy page written…

Can you feel it… I do Something is happening in this country right now. Not this November. Not sometime down the road when the conditions are right and the stars align and the political class decides it is time. Right now. Today. In polling places and courtrooms and state legislatures and ballot boxes from one…
