Most labs publish their wins. We're publishing our sabotage. Five deliberate failure experiments we ran to map exactly where autonomous agents crack under pressure — and why the failure log, not the demo, is the real moat.
We rehearse launches. We rehearse demos. We almost never rehearse shutting an agent down — and that gap is where incidents are born. Last week I killed one of my own agents mid-flight on purpose, and what it left behind should worry anyone shipping autonomy.
A lot of agent products on the market right now are launch-day theater wearing a production badge. Here are the five tells that a tool was engineered for a demo video instead of your Tuesday, and the audit questions that separate the keepers from the vaporware.
Open-source bait-and-switches have become a predictable American business model, not an accident. Here's the checklist we run before trusting a 'community project' with our infrastructure — and the tells that it's already been sold.
