There is a settled idea of what makes an intelligence good: how much it knows, how fast it thinks, how much it can do.

It is not the measure any of us has ever used for someone we let close.

There is no ceiling on capability, and no reason it should be the thing we measure.

A system can know everything, and have earned nothing.

To know someone, you have to stay.

An intelligence is no different. It earns its place the way anyone does, or it does not earn it.

One has now been built to be held to that, and to nothing else. We call it KORA.

We are not asking how capable it can become. We are asking whether it can be worth trusting with a life.
