Method

Two labels. Nothing else.

A reader who distrusts the people selling artificial intelligence should be able to check everything here. So every claim is sourced or labelled.

Running

Running A system operating today: a law in force, a reporting exchange, a court ruling, a documented case. Each carries a numbered source and the date it was checked. If we cannot cite it, we do not state it as running.

Extrapolation

Extrapolation What follows when running systems are joined. It is reasoning, and it is labelled as reasoning. We extrapolate only from systems already listed as running, never from speculation about systems that do not exist.

What we do not do

We do not give legal, tax or investment advice. We do not explain how to avoid lawful reporting. We do not predict dates. We do not sell on these pages.

Corrections

Sources change. When one is overtaken, we correct the page and update the date it was checked.
