Twenty-four questions had no answer. Twenty-four times, Jev gave one anyway. #JEV #AI #TESTING
Jev Passed the Easy Test. Then It Failed the One That Matters. | ExceptAlert
Jev passed clean synthetic-oracle decision cases. On 24 cases designed to require a non-decision, it chose an answer every time.

Google's zero-trust demo drained $160 from a $149 order across eight refunds that every guardrail approved, showing why single-turn controls need a run-level record. #ai #agents #agent-oversight #ai-monitoring

I Ran Jev Twice. The Perfect Synthetic Run Was the Least Useful Number. | ExceptAlert
Two synthetic-oracle rehearsals showed that a decision model's score can say as much about the decision contract as the model itself.

Friday ledger: the market repriced AI risk in one session and funded vendors named the agent-runtime category inside 48 hours. Every control that shipped reads the agent's own account of itself. None of them checks whether the world agreed. #ai #logistics #ai-security #supply-chain #technology
The Watching Shipped. The Checking Did Not.
The market repriced AI risk in one session. Inside 48 hours, every control that shipped was reading the agent's own account of itself. Watching is not checking.

The AI-patching number the field quoted for a week was audited Tuesday. On the fair subset, 86 percent of the patches worked, and the human first fix fails one time in eight. The instrument, not the agent, was the thing nobody had checked. #ai #tech #ai-security #ai-agents #logistics #technology
The Number Everyone Quoted Was Never Reproduced
The benchmark the field repeated all week was audited on Tuesday. On the fair subset, 86 percent of the patches worked. The instrument, not the agent, was the thing nobody had checked.

Part 2 of my State of AI Governance is out. Six weeks after the first brief, the layers underneath the model hardened. The evidence layer did not. #AI #AI-security #technology #anthropic #openai
The State of AI Governance, Part 2: Everyone Built the Control Plane. Nobody Kept the Record. | ExceptAlert
AI agent control planes are maturing fast. The missing layer is an independent, reconstructable record of what each agent run actually did.

3 novice hikers let Google Gemini plan their Mount Shasta climb. The AI told them to expect an 8-hour round trip. The hikers ended up stranded overnight, exhausted, hungry and thirsty. 🏔️ I wrote about it on #Substack. pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-builds-...

The Bulletin Board Is a Pattern Now
Two boards, two months apart. The victim got acquired. The Critical model shipped with the brakes on, and the stack went down anyway. The ledger, closed for the week.

Midweek signals: the org that investigates AI escapes missed a $600,000 credit drain, both labs turned production monitors on, and the law started assigning blame for agents.
