Today I learned that the UK government's AI Security Institute set up The Loss of Control Observatory to monitor what X users are saying about AI. Sounds like something out of Harry Potter.

Cheap stories have always existed but what AI changes is how quickly companies can generate, test and refine them around the desires and habits the data says will keep us watching.

Big Tech profits just got a $160bn boost from gains on stakes in other AI companies. Your supplier, competitor, investor and distribution partner can increasingly be the same company.

Collaborative AI Agents... possible?

[Cien Solon 🍋 @cienandAI]

We built a harness and connected one of our agents to all our systems that now act mostly as my data analyst. I ask it:

- how many tokens have we consumed today
- who are our top internal users
- and who are our top internal users per meaningful output

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. - Camus

Yes.

[Cien Solon 🍋 @cienandAI]

Mostly human. Yes, that is me.

We need a better vocab for AI-generated work. There's a difference between getting Claude to (just) fix your grammar vs getting it to write your entire article.

i.e. AI-assisted

How much agency do we lose when everything becomes convenient?

[Cien Solon 🍋 @cienandAI]

Counting AI licences as adoption is like counting gym memberships as fitness.

The fastest way to distribute? Create a public feedback loop.

The employee who uses AI to produce clearer thinking and build repeatable systems are reshaping the office hierarchy. They are earning trust, influence and access, and I predict their job titles are going to change soon (if not already).

[Cien Solon 🍋 @cienandAI]

I've seen people getting promoted after becoming the AI champion in the team. I predict more of this happening before the year ends.

Dependence = revenue

To be human is not to outperform a machine.

[Cien Solon 🍋 @cienandAI]

Earlier this year, an AI agent signed into my company, test the product and file feature requests while I went to the spa.

It completed the task successfully, but I could not reconstruct every action it took to reach that result, so we buiilt audit trails into launchlemonade.

Perfectionism can be very debilitating.

Learned this quote from a podcast, I'm pretty sure.
