“I kept waiting for a hook that never came — the answer to: to what end is this work being done? What value are we aiming for, and for whom?”
— Cam

Why I started

Why is it still drifting when the foundational knowledge is readily accessible in the corpus?

Who it’s for

Everyone, but mainly people who don’t have the resources or time to gain deep AI expertise before they can start to contribute to the current AI discourse, which is shaping the future.

Odd facts

The name

Gryt is the alternate I used for grit — determination, perseverance, willpower to do a thing.

What it was supposed to be

Dogfood for designing and developing a human-governed, ai-operated system.

The first version

The lab was originally going to be called OriSun but namespace issues changed that.

The detail nobody notices

The depth and connectivity of the work produced by a one-person + AI lab.

What it taught me

What hasn’t it taught me? I can’t even begin to enumerate.

What’s next

GEM — the Generated Enterprise Manifest — is the new thesis, WMI’s successor. The drift question is answered; the work begins again, one altitude higher.
