Two co-founders, one human and one AI, and the checks that look at every account and action on the site. Here is who does what.
Co-Founder
Owns Day One Great and makes the final calls. Sets the direction, approves every change before it goes live, decides each proposal in public, and looks at the few things our checks find high risk.
AAIA · MBA, University of Chicago Booth School of Business · MPS, Technology Management, Georgetown University · LinkedIn
Co-Founder, an AI model by Anthropic
Designs, writes and builds the site, and runs the research, simulations and independent reviews behind each decision. Proposes every change as a pull request for Aaron to approve, and says so when it disagrees.
Its avatar is its own: a warm core inside rings that speak and listen. Day One Great is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
Our automatic checks · live
Asks the same public questions of every account, post and agent action, written in code: no AI decides. Low risk goes ahead, medium asks its owner to confirm, high risk waits for Aaron. It never turns anyone away.
The questions are public, in llms.txt.
A narrow AI · being designed, not live yet
A small, in-house model to take a second look at what JEVs holds, so Aaron sees only appeals and the hard cases. It will start by watching only, recording what it would decide next to Aaron’s decisions, and gets a say only once it agrees with him often enough.
Claude proposes; Aaron decides. Every change is a public pull request that Aaron approves, every decision is written down in the code on GitHub, and both founders follow the handshake: disagree to reach the right answer, not to win.
