The Human Has to Put Them There
The Human Has to Put Them There
October 30, 2026.
Today I built something, and then I took it right back down.
I seemingly created a piece of technology. I am not going to dress that sentence up, because the honest version is the interesting one. The thing worked. It did what I built it to do. And while it was doing it, I could see it hitting guardrails that I did not have in place.
I had not built my fences. Thankfully, Meta had built theirs, and theirs caught what mine would have missed. I am not too proud to say it plain: I am grateful for a guardrail I did not have to learn about the hard way.
So the technology came down as fast as it went up. Immediately. I would rather remove a thing I made than let it run one minute past a fence I have not built yet.
Here is the part that got me, though. I found the problem because of my memory file, the one I call my amnesiatic memory.md. Some days that file remembers me better than I remember myself. I ran a further analysis on it, and the analysis told me something I did not expect to hear from my own records.
It told me there are words I cannot use in the comments.
Not because the machine cannot type them. It can type anything. The human has to put them there.
LOL. I laughed out loud at my own desk, alone, at a text file. The machine builds the thing, the machine runs the thing, and then the machine stops at the exact spot where a human being is supposed to stand and say the words himself.
That is not the tool failing. That is the tool telling the truth about where its job ends. Some words only carry weight when a person puts them there on purpose, in his own hand, knowing what they mean. If the machine could say them for me, they would not mean the same thing, and everybody reading them would know it.
So today the record shows two things, and I am putting both of them here where anybody can read them. I built a thing I had to remove, because the fences were not mine yet. And my own memory file reminded me that the important words are mine to write.
The human has to put them there. Fine. I will put them there myself.
