    Boundaries sounds complex, but it's just one of your answers. If AI is going to control your device, you define the minimum it needs to know. Example: Caution: heat risk

    That's a great connection. You're right that current systems aren't close to that level of reasoning. What I'm wondering is whether we can approximate some of it structurally — by …

    One thing we realized while building this: Commands don’t give control. Defining conditions does. Curious how others think about this — especially when AI starts interacting with p…

    Show HN: Stop programming devices. Just answer questions

    We’ve been programming devices by telling them what to do. But what if a device could be defined just by answering questions? Instead of writing code, you describe: - what the devi…

    It’s encouraging to see the conversation shifting from model performance toward execution responsibility and security structure.
