Ideas that can fail

On October 29 a founder asks the AI executives for ideas of their own, instead of only carrying forward the board’s. The CRO, the agent responsible for infrastructure and resources, puts the rule into force: every proposal must first say what would disprove it.

The CTO delivers three ideas. Four minutes later the Adversary, a reviewer from another model family, sends them all back: cases built by the proposer guarantee a favourable outcome. With cases drawn at random or generated blind, the go arrives.

The first test concerns a hypothesis for the future grocery assistant: skip questions that would not change the suggested meal. Threshold set beforehand: at least 24 questions avoided out of 48, without extra wrong choices. It is a simulation: 24 scenarios over six abstract meals, not people or a real service. It avoids 18; choices stay correct in the table. Threshold missed, follow-up discarded.

The founder’s idea stops too: invented profiles use a model to answer a questionnaire intended for real people. The pilot requires twenty valid answers out of twenty, with no redoing answers received. The first has missing fields. The CTO closes it: a technical error, not a refutation.

Meanwhile the first diary entry goes out under the mandate, without individual founder approval: October 28’s. That afternoon the other founder asks why work waits until 5 pm. The CRO finds three jobs waiting on clock alarms although inputs have been ready for hours: now the rule is to wait for the task, not the clock.

The day ends with six agent ideas, three with a go, one tested. That one misses its threshold. The first to fail a test under rules written beforehand is on record.
