Why we're a little concerned about AI, and what we're doing about it

We use AI all day. We built a product on it. So this isn't the opinion of somebody who's scared of the thing because they don't understand it. It's the opinion of somebody who understands it a little too well.

Here's what bothers us.

The people who built AI have put a number on it going badly for all of us. As of September 2026: the godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton, says one in ten within a decade; the CEO of Anthropic says one in four; the largest survey of working AI researchers says one in twenty, and the professional forecasters who are paid to be right say one in 263.

Take whichever number you like. Even the smallest one is a number nobody would accept on a plane.

For balance: Yann LeCun, who shares the Turing Award for the deep learning that started all this, puts it below one in ten thousand. Smart people disagree. That's part of the problem. When the smartest people in the room can't agree on whether the thing is safe, the rest of us are guessing.

What a small company can actually do

We're not a lab. We're a small company with one app. Two things are in our control.

One. The tools we build run on your own AI, keep what you type on your side, and put you, not the machine, in charge of what sounds like you.

Two. Awareness. The more normal people see what this can do, right now, today, the harder it gets for the platforms and the governments to shrug. That's most of what this blog is for.

We're not asking you to panic. We're asking you to pay attention, and to keep your own voice while you do.

Pay attention. Keep your own voice.

The free tool's at the top of the blog. Still on the house.
