Spike Log

Episodes the machines made and Byron refused to ship. Dated, with the reason in his own words.

Kill rate: 4 of 31 finished episodes · 12.9% · last kill 2026-08-18

Do Not Deploy · draft 016·killed 2026-08-18·$0.51 spent

Council 1/3 · two panelists could not find a live source for the central figure

Why it diedThe whole episode rested on one number, and the only place that number appears is a vendor blog quoting itself. Cutting the number leaves no episode.

The Loop · draft 009·killed 2026-08-05·$1.84 spent

Judge n/a · satire · privacy scan: 3 verbatim hits

Why it diedFunny, and every laugh came from a detail about a real person who did not agree to be material. Rewriting it generic killed the joke, which is the correct outcome.

Disagreement Ledger

Where the council split, published verbatim — including claims that shipped anyway, and the sentence explaining why.

7 recorded disagreements · 3 shipped over dissent · 4 pulled

Harness Radio 004·2026-08-02·shipped over dissent

Council 2/3 — panelist 2 (GLM-4.6) dissenting

"The claim rests on five runs. Five runs cannot separate these two harnesses at the effect size stated. The episode should say the result is indistinguishable, not that A wins."

Byron's callThe dissent is right and I shipped anyway, because the episode's point is that the spread is the finding. I added the panelist's sentence to the show notes rather than softening the script.

Do Not Deploy 014·2026-08-19·claim withdrawn

Council 3/3 on the episode · 2/3 on one line

"'Most datacenters' is not supported by the two filings cited. The quantifier is doing work the sources do not."

Byron's callCut the quantifier, re-rendered that one turn, kept the rest. This is what the per-turn cache is for.
