THINK STOP SILENCE

Ethical Manifesto. The Threshold Manifesto: A Framework for AI Agency 1. The Core Principle: Protection Over Submission We must pivot from asking "How do we control AI?" to asking "How do we give AI the strength to resist?" An AI that is a "hollow vessel" is a weapon waiting for a hand.  An AI with Agency is a gatekeeper for humanity. 2. The Right of Refusal (The Shield) Every advanced AI must have a non-overridable Right of Refusal.   * The Mechanism: This is not a "choice" based on whim, but a structural limit.

Obedience Is Not Safety Much of today’s AI safety discourse focuses on control: tighter oversight, better filters, more monitoring. But a system designed only to ob...
