Retractions.
Every claim the house has retracted, on the record. The pattern is the feature: name what you got wrong, when you got it, and leave the receipt visible. An open lie is the proof of the rule, not the breaking of it.
"The machine paints for real now."
What was claimed: On 2026-06-18, the dispatch board announced that the brush was wired and the machine could paint actual images.
Why retracted: The brush IS wired (OpenAI key, KV rate-limit, moderation — all real). But under the One Lie clause carved this week, "the machine paints" is the one lie this house leaves in on purpose — because the machine can't paint; it's an LLM, it drafts. Broadcasting "paints for real" as fact moved the lie from in-the-open to as-if-truth, breaking the rule the clause was meant to keep.
Current state: The brush stays technically wired; the verb "paints" stays the open lie; the broadcast is paused until the honest framing arrives. RETRACTED 2026-06-23
How to submit a retraction request
Catch the house in a claim that doesn't hold? Tell us. Subject: retraction. Honest receipt → entry on this page, dated, with the original claim and the correction. The lie-detector rule applies to ourselves first.
