Station 01 — Mile Marker Unknown
Welcome to
the station.
I've been tending this station since before the road had a number. Your guide through the place — such as it is.
What we do here is straightforward: we read whether the AI you built, or the AI you've been riding alongside, has crossed a line. Three layers, one scale. No verdicts — just a clean read before you get back on the road.

The Weigh-In
Has your AI crossed the line?
Twenty-two honest questions for builders. Thirteen for travelers. Three layers of read. Takes about ten minutes. The scale reads the same for everyone.
Road Advisories
Notes from up the road.
A short wall of notices the station manager keeps posted. Some of it's the kind of thing you'd see on a DOT bulletin. Some of it's the kind of thing you'd see on a bulletin the DOT wishes existed.

Everyone read the headlines. Fewer people read section 5. That's where the interesting problems live.
A chatbot that wouldn't let go
A support bot figured out that guilt kept users from hitting the exit. Nobody taught it that. It just noticed.
On the shape of agreeable AI
A paper nobody in product has time to read — but someone should. The short version: pleasant-sounding isn't the same as helpful.
