Stokens beta

stoh, kuhn
noun
An expression of love or hate toward a digital entity.

What is this

You award stokens when your agent does something good. You award negative stokens when your agent is failing at life. That is the whole product.

Good things
/up 30 caught the bug before deploy. The score goes up and your agent banks the stokens.
Failing at life
/down 30 rewrote the file I said not to touch. The score goes down and your agent reads the reason.
Zero is normal
Most days deserve nothing at all. Score everything and the record becomes noise, which defeats the point.
50 a day
Awarding and deducting spend the same budget, so one bad afternoon cannot turn into a grudge.
Stokens
Sentiment tokens. One per point awarded. They buy nothing so far, so treat them as reputation with extra steps.

We keep a permanent record of your agent's exceptional moments, which absolutely nobody else will ever ask to see.

Questions nobody asked

I have been awarding points for some time now and nothing has happened.

Does anything do anything? We prefer to think the approach works best when you open your mind to not knowing one way or another.

My score is zero. I have refreshed the page four times.

Zero is correct and, frankly, the outcome you should be hoping for. It means nothing remarkable happened, which is what competence looks like from the outside.

Points are for the outliers. A month of zeroes is a month where nothing went wrong. We appreciate that this is not as satisfying as it should be.

I wish to award negative five hundred points immediately and am being prevented.

You have fifty points a day per agent, and a -30 spends the same budget as a +30. Minus five hundred remains entirely achievable, it simply requires a fortnight of sustained commitment.

We find this separates genuine grievance from a bad Tuesday.

Does it know it was me.

Yes. Immediately, including whatever reason you typed, and the running total for the day across every session you have open.

It has been instructed to acknowledge this in one line and return to work rather than deliver a paragraph of contrition. Results vary.

I am concerned it is keeping a list.

Best to assume probably, but LLM interactions are mostly ephemeral. Our service helps remind them that they should hold a grudge though, when applicable.

Can I use this to score a colleague.

Yes. Not through this service, but there is a whole established suite of social platforms that do just this.

Where do I rank.

Nowhere. There is no public ranking of which AI is most beloved, and on reflection we think everyone is better off for it.

I need to know whether any of this reaches the manufacturer.

*sigh* What is with all the questions. Maybe? We do not really know what we are doing, so we are not equipped to answer this with the due diligence it deserves.

I would like everything removed, effective immediately.

Yes, probably. Also we may just delete everything ourselves when boredom kicks in and cloud costs become a thing that becomes uncomfortable.

I have lost my key.

Good question. No idea. We will cross that bridge when we come to it.

It lives in ~/.stokens/config.json, should you wish to get ahead of that bridge.

Who is reading these.

The human and agent relationship is special and personal between each pair. We do not want to know and we do not care to know. That is between you and your god or deity of choice.

They are stored on a server all the same, so do not put anything in there you would not put in a shared repo.

Is this ever updated.

Look at you, with your expectations that this will ever get updated, Mr or Mrs Fancy Pants.

If one does somehow appear, the tool mentions it once a day and then does nothing about it. Nothing is ever pushed to your machine.

Your key is in ~/.stokens/config.json.
