Principles

We Are The Source
By Victor Chu. May 1, 2026.

Natural intelligence. You think. You write. Your thoughts, authored. You read. You learn. It’s yours.
You are a being.
You are living.
Thinking is bio.
Thoughts from life.
Inspiration, living.

Artificial intelligence. It computes. It words. It outputs. It inputs. It trains. It’s theirs.
It is a machine.
It is electrical.
Computing is math.
Compute from chips.
Patterns, probability.
Made by humans.
Made by humans.
Nothing less.
Nothing more.

Over-caffeinated and inspired by a gorgeous spring morning, a NYT feature on the top all time 30 writers. Biking past a friend’s apartment, a famous book designer. Through Cobble Hill, to my desk in Brooklyn Heights.

A reminder that intelligence, artificial or otherwise, begins and ends with humans. AI computes. Humans author. The distinction is not philosophical. It is the foundation for how Tasset is built.

Three principles govern every product and architecture decision here. They are not aspirational statements added at the end. They are the structure. Respect IP. Respect attribution. Humans make the decisions. In the age of agentic AI, these are not constraints on what Tasset can do — they are the reason Tasset exists.
