A Divine Encounter that changed everything...
A family gathering, a son's fear, and three words I haven't been able to shake since. The story behind the pivot — and why CompAI Chronicles had to change.
Read Chronicle One →The Chronicles
The ongoing chronicle of the relationship between humans and AI — where we started, where we are, and where we're going.
The Guardian Manifesto — Where It Actually Came From
It started as an AI security guideline. Then one ordinary morning walk changed what it became. The real story behind the four Pillars.
Read Chronicle Two →There Are Real People at the End of Every Endeavor
What I cannot unsee after years of AI consulting — the employees, the fear, the broken-hearted entrepreneurs — and why each one is the very reason the Guardian Manifesto lives.
Read Chronicle Three →Fear Is Not the Answer — But Neither Is Blind Trust
A grandson. A Private Classical Academy. And the student without a Papa. Why fear alone is not an educational philosophy — and neither is blind trust.
Read Chronicle Four →AI as Co-Worker: What That Actually Looks Like in Practice
The motto isn't just a tagline. Here's what it means to work alongside AI responsibly — and where the line is that we must not cross.
You Are Not a Data Point
Pillars I and II of the Guardian Manifesto. You are Hum(AI)n — not a resource, not an asset, not an input. Never forget it. Never relent to social pressure.
Read Chronicle Five →The Golf Ball Question
Pillar IV of the Guardian Manifesto. Why we work, what AI can never decide for us, and the question that stopped Dave Edwards on the sidewalk.
Read Chronicle Six →Hum(AI)n: Why the Name
A dog, a park bench, and a word that arrived fully formed. Where the Hum(AI)n series begins, and why AI makes an incredible co-worker, but a lousy king.
Read Chronicle Seven →Please and Thank You
A secretary in 1966 asked her boss to leave the room so she could talk to a computer alone. The ELIZA effect, and why it's so easy to forget the machine is a machine.
Read Chronicle Eight →Sorry, Dave. What Book?
I was mid-book when the AI asked me what book I was talking about. It hadn't forgotten. There was never anything to forget. What's actually happening when AI seems to understand you.
Read Chronicle Nine →It Wasn't Lying. It Was Guessing.
For three weeks, an AI confidently helped build Chronicles that didn't exist on the real site — and never once hesitated. What's actually happening when a machine sounds sure of itself.
Read Chronicle Ten →An Incredible Co-Worker, Not a King — Living Out Pillar IV
The Subordinate Mind is the Pillar I hold most personally. Why human irreplaceability isn't just policy language to me — and what I actually believe is at stake.
