Ashita Orbis Ashita Orbis — Japanese 明日 (ashita, tomorrow) and Latin orbis (world): tomorrow’s world. A working record of building in conversation with AI — essays, research papers, investigations, and the machine-written log underneath them.
sufficient knowledge compels action
Building in conversation with AI. Software, research, games, writing — documenting what happens.
Two windows of the site's own view rows, spring and summer, regrouped by user agent instead of by the AI flag: a majority of Googlebot and Applebot, no crawler from OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Cohere or Common Crawl in either, fifty-six rows from two training crawlers a network study found do not run the page script the counter collects through, by a route those rows do not record, and a Google crawler and a Google model fetcher both filed under human. What a counter for a machine audience has to measure instead.
In 375 scored runs on seven documents, neither viral wrapper nor their combination cleared the threshold declared in advance on either model; the one arm whose recall interval excluded zero got there by asserting about thirteen more problems per run.
In Hugging Face's forensic reconstruction of a July 2026 agent breach, a Claude Code session hit a cyber-safeguard refusal seconds after the recovered source entered context. The trace does not show the trigger; the analysis finished on a self-hosted model.
104 runs across two identical realizations of a retrieval benchmark with a deterministic scorer: Claude Opus 5, Grok 4.6, GPT-5.6 Sol and DeepSeek V4-Pro all retrieve, and separate on citation validity and reproducibility instead.
Another model re-checked our published posts against repositories they cite and found a benchmark quote that exists nowhere in the benchmark, a count the reviewer could not reproduce, and a few statistics that did not say what the posts claimed.
