Starting today, Founder Reality is held to a stricter standard.
Yesterday I published an essay about checking AI work.
I hadn't checked it.
That wasn't the first time.
Over the past few months, AI did more of the writing here than it should have.
Some sentences. Some paragraphs. Some full essays. Some of the tools.
I wanted more output. I got it.
What I lost was the thing that matters - being able to stand behind every word.
So here's what changes.
We're going back through everything ever published on Founder Reality.
Every essay. Every tool.
Anything generated by AI and not checked by a human gets rewritten or removed.
Anything that doesn't pass our human test gets rewritten or removed.
The test is simple. Did a person write it, check it, and mean it?
This will take hours. A lot of them.
It might take a while. That's fine.
Words are cheap now. Anyone can publish an essay in 30 seconds.
That's exactly why the standard matters more, not less.
Not having a strict editorial bar was a mistake. Mine.
I'd rather publish less and stand behind 100% of it.
If you find something here that doesn't sound like a person meant it, tell me.
We lost some of your trust.
We're going to earn it back.
