THE #HOWNOTTOUSEAI CHALLENGE

WEEK 2 · THE SOVEREIGN EAR — Receive before you transmit.

Day 1 made a claim about what this is. Today you go and see whether the ground-level evidence supports it.

A map of human emotion, charted by an algorithm, looks a great deal like a constellation. It also has holes in it, and the holes are the part worth standing in front of.

Today’s session:

The August 2025 GPT-5 launch and rollback, read as evidence rather than as news.
A map of a hundred emotional AI use cases gathered from raw, unedited social listening — and the conspicuous absences on it.
Opening a direct line into the single node that unsettles you, rather than the one that looks most useful.
Synthetic versus Syncretic personas. The same persona generated two ways, to see the ghost of what gets averaged out.

You walk out with a map of ninety emotional use cases, and a direct line into the one on it that unsettles you most.

Week 2 · Day 2 — The Eye
