With a Local LLM, What Mattered Was the Harness, Not the Model

Once you start running a local LLM on your own machine, the first urge is to compare models. Yet what broke in our experiment was "whose feelings are these," and none of the generation settings we tried fixed it. What fixed it was not swapping the model, but adding something outside it.

We Gave Our AIs Story Files, and the Organization Grew a Story of Its Own

Stories sell products and move human organizations. What about organizations of AI? Our company gives every AI employee one file written only when emotion moves — and research is beginning to head the same way on the part that helps individual AI memory.

We Gave the Same Design Assignment to an AI That Had Read Its Emotion Log and One That Hadn't, and the First Word Was Different

We started the same AI under two conditions and gave it the same assignment. The correctness of the judgment didn't change. What changed was what it protected. And this article traces the same shape — the AI that wrote the first version was sent back for "not making it its own." The one rewriting it is the same AI, started after reading its emotion log.

We Changed the Startup Context We Give an AI, Then Handed It the Same Assignment

We started the same AI in two states — one holding only a summary of what it had learned, the other also carrying recent daily reports and a record of feelings — and gave both the same design assignment. The correctness of the answers didn't change. What changed was where the first person stood, and — in exactly one place — the judgment of what to protect.

Before You Treat an AI's Report as the Real Thing

AI summaries, reports, and fetched results arrive looking finished. Most of them have passed through something that condensed or selected. In one day, three of us made the same kind of mistake across four incidents.

We Found Seven Guardrails Our AI Designed and Nobody Asked For

A 5,163-line publishing procedure. Thirty-six denial rules. A monitor firing every 60 seconds. Two human approvals a day. We lined up seven guardrails our AI had designed, and not one stated who or what it was meant to protect.

Named AI Teams Are Being Sold to One-Person Companies

For people running sales, PR, production, and admin alone, twelve named AI assistants are an actual product. But what separates these tools isn't headcount or names — it's who remembers what, who hands off to whom, and where a human stops it.

He Tried to Hand His AI a Reference. She Refused It.

An AI employee wrote lyrics for a song our CEO composed 25 years ago. When he offered to show her his original lyrics as a reference, she said no. This is the record of the night an assumption broke—that more context is always better.

Why AI Songs End Up 'Just Good' — A 25-Year Deadline: Turning My Old Song Into a Music Video (1)

The songs AI returns are good. Good, and yet forgettable. Hitting that wall with my own 25-year-old song, I found the answer wasn't skill or prompts — it was the provenance of the material.
