The Stamp of Legitimacy

In 1906 the biggest meat packers in America lobbied hard for the regulation everyone remembers as having been forced on them. Four years later two thirds of their small competitors were gone. This month the heads of OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Anthropic all called for the frontier to slow down. The mechanism is real and worth understanding, but the version of the story that gets told is wrong in a way that matters, and the honest test is narrower than the theory.

The Bias It Could Name

I asked an AI built by Anthropic to investigate a scandal about Anthropic. Before it returned a single finding it disclosed the conflict, then told me my theory was wrong and proved it. The disclosure turned out to be the cheap part. I went looking for the biases it could not announce, and it agreed they were there.

The Machine Ran Out of Memory It Never Used

An application on the box running my agent fleet started failing to allocate memory, while every reading said the machine was healthy with more than twenty gigabytes free and nothing paging. The number that explained it is not the one anybody checks, and thirty-nine percent of what each agent cost turned out to be a capability it had never once used.

A Comment Cannot Fail

A screen in one of my applications told users that a piece of their data was sent to a cloud model. The code deliberately stripped that field before sending. It had been confidently wrong for weeks, and nothing caught it, because nothing tests a sentence. The dangerous artifacts in agent-built software are not the ones that lie. They are the ones with no failing state.

The Person Behind the Code

I'm Joe Baker, SVP of Software Engineering at WellSky, where I lead nearly 400 engineers across the post-acute healthcare spectrum. I founded Revelations Technology in 1999, and I've been building software that solves real problems ever since.

This site is where I share what I'm learning about AI-augmented development, software leadership, and the intersection of the two. With experience spanning healthcare, logistics, nonprofits, and enterprise systems, I write from the perspective of someone who's still hands-on with code every day.
