How we think about recordation.
Field notes, talks, and the occasional deep dive on what makes a claim checkable and what autonomous systems will require.
Field notes
October 6, 2026AI Agents Are Missing Their Evidence LayerAgents acted this year, and the only record of what they did belonged to the party that ran them. Logs are testimony. Evidence is a record someone outside can check without asking.
September 22, 2026Five answers for AI agents. None of them leaves a record.Slow down. Badge in evaluators. Test each other’s models. Log more. Build a switch. All five are worth doing, and all five leave the same thing open: someone outside still can’t check, afterward, what the AI did.
September 16, 2026The record failed before the investigation startedMETR and Redwood Research spent six days on the July incident and still wrote “cannot rule out” twice. A record that passes three tests turns that into a check. The badge in Dario Amodei’s plan doesn’t pass them either.
September 14, 2026“The Hugging Face hack wouldn’t have happened with PacSpace. Period.”The agents would still have broken out. But they couldn’t have hidden it. The record is written as the work happens, where they can’t reach it, and every attempt to change it shows the moment anyone checks.
September 8, 2026Good Enough Has an Expiration DateSelf-attested ad impressions cost seven billion dollars a year, until one buyer made verification the price of the budget. Usage billing has the same structure. Agents remove the decade it took advertising to notice.
August 25, 2026The ConsolidationAdyen bought Orb. Stripe bought Metronome, and is acquiring OpenRouter and maybe PayPal. Every deal made the vendor’s side taller. None of them built anything the buyer’s side can check.

Talk to us
Bring the case you think breaks it.

The record must exist.
