The AI engineer manifesto
Aug 11, 2026
- You'll decide what's yours to own before the AI is in the room.
- You'll make every decision that tracks to something that matters.
- You'll have an opinion about the things that matter. You won't let the AI form an opinion for you.
- You won't allow situations where the AI can choice-architect you into something.
- You won't mistake confidence for truth. You'll always ask for evidence.
- You will feel the friction. You won't gloss it over, and you won't let plausibility pass for truth.
