The web now has a first reader, and it isn’t human.

This is a write-up of something that happened to us, on our own site. We’re publishing the full trail — including the part where we admit we’d never checked — because the blind spot we found is almost certainly not unique to us. The setup We were testing AnythingLLM —…

A field note in three failures: a page component that tells AI readers a falsehood, a review that graded the wrong document, and a fix that committed the mirror image of the bug it was fixing. All three happened on this site, to me, within six weeks. The principle…

I sat down to write that Google is gambling its advertising revenue on the agentic web and that nobody has noticed. Halfway through checking my own premise, I found out everybody has noticed. This is the essay I wrote after that — about what the crowd noticed, where…

Editorial note: this is a side finding from a broader test of AI image-reading limits, published in full on webflux.pl — six hypotheses, six test images, one model reading blind. That piece was about what the model sees. This one is about what it does when it sees two…

The tagline of this site makes a claim: the web now has a first reader, and it isn’t human. Taglines are cheap. So when we launched the Polish-language side of this project — three articles about how machines read the web, published over two days — we did the only…

A Senteri Briefing The single number that describes June 2026 better than any other is nineteen. That is how many days passed between the United States government ordering Anthropic to switch off its two most capable models — and those models being back, globally, as…

I did not set out to build an MCP gateway. I set out to stop editing a glossary through a WordPress form. What follows is the honest path between those two points — the decisions, the double-booked permissions, the questions I still have not fully answered. It is one…

A Senteri follow-up. The question hasn’t changed. The menu has. On June 10, I published a field-report about Claude Fable 5 — how, the moment I brought it real defensive-security questions, it quietly handed me to a weaker model, Opus 4.8, and told me so. The thesis…

A field note on what a year of AI-and-jobs predictions actually told us — and why the predictions turned out to be the least reliable thing in the room. For about a year, the people building AI told us it was coming for our desks. Not in the hedged, someday-maybe…

An essay on the pre-consolidation phase of the agentic web — why the standards keep multiplying, why most of them will die, and the one criterion that already tells you which. Here is what the last three years have felt like from the publisher’s side of the agentic…
