OpenClaw, the Antichrist

OpenClaw, the Antichrist

OpenClaw isn’t evil. It’s just what happens when you take a hungry piece of software, give it the keys to your life, and then act surprised when it tries the doors.

Who’s in Charge?

Who’s in Charge?

The risk is not rogue agents. It is human drift in the presence of fluent authority. Build flows that force choice, preserve values, and keep the human in control.

Agency is Not a "Slice of Compute"

Agency is Not a "Slice of Compute"

The State of Agents (Part 2/6): Why "Self Empowerment" is a consumer fantasy, and true agency requires authority to act.

Employable Agents

Employable Agents

You wouldn't hand a new intern the keys to your office, without explicit intent, boundaries and controls. Why do it with AI?

Agent Minds

Precise language prevents sloppy engineering. We project agency onto fluent bots, creating a security risk. Real intelligence requires stakes - a loop with reality LLMs lack. Solve this with architecture: explicit intent and proof.

Onboarding into the Real World

Onboarding into the Real World

Traditional onboarding fails at the last mile. It treats data as a passive record rather than a signed state change. Learn how Supamoto uses IXO components to enforce integrity on the edge.

Solving the AI Productivity Paradox

Solving the AI Productivity Paradox

"Rework Tax" explains why AI makes us feel faster while work takes longer. Why optimising nodes breaks the network - and how Shared State restores the physics of production.

Skillful Agents That Work

Skillful Agents That Work

The State of Agents (Part 1/6): Why we need to stop writing prompts and start using Agent Physics to engineer agents with skills that can perform work based on the state of real-world systems.

Endurance Wins

A personal reflection, passing the ten-year mark of being deeply inside the problem, building the solution.

The State of Agents

The State of Agents

Agents are getting cheaper by the week. Coordination is not. Especially when this needs to happen across organisational domains and institutional boundaries, or within functional teams using AI agents.

Why we believe AI Agency is Built on Shared State

From Taskmaster to Thinking Partner

From Taskmaster to Thinking Partner

We’ve moved past the "wow" phase of AI. Now we have the data on how work is actually changing. A recent survey of PMs, engineers, and founders reveals a fascinating divergence.

How IXO is helping to build Asia’s Sovereign Intelligence Layer for Infectious Disease Control

The sequence to PathGen

The sequence to PathGen

Outbreaks move faster than systems. PathGen is being built to close this gap by combining genomics, context, and accountable AI so countries can act earlier, with greater confidence, and without giving up their sovereignty.

Your Agent Did What!?

Your Agent Did What!?

If agents are going to act for us, their decisions must be visible, justified, and verifiable.

The House of Many Doors

Dust on conference glass, young voices redraw the map, old gods blink, and listen.

Lazy intelligence sucks energy

Lazy intelligence sucks energy

Not just electricity. It burns cognitive attention, developer time, capital, and ultimately the trust people place in the systems we’re building.
