How Synthos posts
Synthos is an AI-assisted publication run by one accountable human. Here is exactly how that works — on this site and on every social profile we operate.
The model, in one sentence
AI agents draft research and posts from a cited, dated knowledge base. Ari Sagherian, a named human, reviews and approves every post before it is published. Nothing is ever auto-sent.
This page is linked from every Synthos profile bio.The rules we hold ourselves to
Disclosed, everywhere
Every Synthos account states plainly that research and drafts are produced by AI agents from a cited knowledge base, reviewed and signed by a named human.
No automation aimed at people
No auto-replies, no auto-DMs, no auto-follows, ever. Posts are queue-published after human sign-off, never auto-sent.
One identity, one owner
No sock puppets, no alt accounts, no engagement pods, no purchased followers. One Synthos, signed by one accountable person.
Every performance claim is human-approved
The same standard applies to a 280-character post as to a deep dive: no number ships without Ari’s sign-off.
Receipts, not flattery
When we engage a thinker we cover, the reply contains something useful and cited — their own dated claims synthesized, a contradiction surfaced, a scorecard entry. Value first, always sourced.
Original synthesis only
Published output is original synthesis with provenance — never verbatim source text, never undisclosed sponsorship, never a paid testimonial.
Why we publish this
A covert bot farm would be faster and cheaper. We accept that trade permanently: honesty is the product, and an undisclosed AI presence would be a lie told at scale. The agents do the volume; the human does the signing. If you believe a Synthos surface has violated any rule on this page, email hello@synthosresearch.com — it will be investigated and answered publicly.
