The Third-Party Agent Extension Had to Earn Trust
Why third-party agent skills and plugins need an explicit admission decision before versioning, regression tests, and runtime containment can do their jobs.
Frontier AI Pacing Is Not a Speed Setting
A source-grounded comparison of frontier-AI pacing proposals by what they constrain, what triggers restraint, who verifies the condition, and what allows progress or deployment to continue.
The Protocol Was Not the Behavior: Testing MCP Tool Semantics
Why testing MCP tools requires a separate semantic behavior check after protocol and schema validity, so accepted requests are tested for the effects their parameters promise.
AI Confidence Became Part of the Decision Policy
Why AI confidence only becomes decision-useful when uncertainty is meaningful enough to change what the system or user may do next.
Agent Autonomy Needed a Completion Test
Why useful agent autonomy should be judged against the delegated job: what counted as done, which intervention was expected, what side effects were allowed, and what evidence proved completion.
Parallel Work Needed a Fan-In Reduction Contract
Why parallel-agent workflows need explicit rules for evidence, conflict, verification, and authority before many provisional branch results can become one trusted answer.
Existential AI Risk: The Warning Is Real. The Countdown Is Not Established.
What recent frontier-AI control failures establish, what they only suggest, and why rejecting false countdown precision is not the same as dismissing catastrophic risk.
The AI Edit Stayed Proposed Until Acceptance
An analysis of reviewable AI edits, exact proposal state, approval granularity, and the boundary between generating a change and making it authoritative.
