    The engineer and the storyteller

    Two people from two different worlds in front of one backdrop in London. I build AI. Victor Okafor builds storytellers. We think those two worlds need each other, and this is why.

    A room in Birmingham, and why I teach agentic AI

    On a Saturday in June, a room of people in Birmingham gave up their weekend to learn how AI agents really work. I led the session. This is why I keep doing it, and why the teaching matters as much as the building.

    The question in the room: can an AI agent prove it was told no?

    We came third at the biggest Canton hackathon. The judges are why it matters.

    Vorem placed third at Cantor8's Build on Canton hackathon in London, judged by a panel that included the Canton Foundation's founding chairman. The ranking is the least interesting part. This is the idea that placed, and what happened in the six weeks after.

    I had 4,500 installs and no way for anyone to pay me

    A catalogued listing in an institutional directory, two published packages, a priced offer written months ago, and the page carrying that offer had never been on the website. The audit of my own distribution, with the numbers.

    A count is not an economy

    I sealed 106 artworks in Abuja and sold nothing. The AI agent payment rail everyone is quoting moves about $11,000 a month and its public counter has not changed since March. Two failures of measurement, at different sizes.
