Mark, "constraints leave fingerprints" is the key insight here. When effort signals disappear, so does locatable accountability.
But what if the constraints shift rather than vanish? At Karora, our AI agents don't generate content—they process satellite imagery and sensor data so a 3-person team can deliver enterprise-grade carbon verification. The trust signal becomes "we can show you the data chain and the math" rather than "we made this by hand."
You're right that trust needs to live somewhere. I'd argue it can live in architecture—if accountability is built in from the ground up.
Of course you are right. Tech and tools shift constraints. And giving people actionable knowledge they didn’t have access to before is gold! My argument here was narrowed in in on communicating cheaply at scale and expecting trust at the same time.
