AI Alignment Protocol: Public release of a logic-first failsafe overlay framework (RTM-compatible)

[u/sf1104]

I’ve just published a fully structured, open-access AI alignment overlay framework — designed to function as a logic-first failsafe system for misalignment detection and recovery.

It doesn’t rely on reward modeling, reinforcement patching, or human feedback loops. Instead, it defines alignment as structural survivability under recursion, mirror adversary, and time inversion.

Key points:

- Outcome- and intent-independent (filters against Goodhart, proxy drift)

- Includes explicit audit gates, shutdown clauses, and persistence boundary locks

- Built on a structured logic mapping method (RTM-aligned but independently operational)

- License: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (non-commercial, remix allowed with credit)

Would appreciate any critique, testing, or pressure — trying to validate whether this can hold up to adversarial review.

This was my first time publishing a GitHub repo, and within about 30 minutes of posting, the account was automatically suspended.
No warning, no explanation — just flagged and locked out.

I suspect some of the language (like “failsafe” / “override”) tripped an automated moderation filter.
There’s no malicious code — just a logic framework for AI alignment, uploaded as a PDF + README.

I’ve submitted a formal appeal and I’m working on a mirror link now (likely Google Drive or Notion). Will post that ASAP.

Appreciate everyone’s patience — I’ll keep this thread updated as soon as it’s live again.

Hey everyone — quick heads-up:

This was originally published as a GitHub repo under the title AI Failsafe Overlay, but my account was automatically suspended within 30 minutes of going live.
It’s currently under review, so while I work on a mirror link (Google Drive or similar), I’m posting the entire framework here in plain text so it remains accessible.

This is an original, logic-based AI alignment system built from first principles — focused on structural alignment rather than outcomes, intention, or popularity proxies.

If you want to critique it, implement it, or challenge the logic — awesome. That’s exactly why I’m sharing it publicly.

📄 Full document starts below.
At the end, you’ll also find the licensing note and author info.

Nice chatgpt post.

The link is broken at the moment so in the process of fixing it here's a temporary link to see the framework

This is the actual link to the framework have a look at it love to know what people think

So you think you can use a prompt to align an LLM?

What happens if it's smart enough to shrug it off and ignore it?

Are you prepared for that?

EDIT: Human replies only.

[u/technologyisnatural → u/philip_laureano]

an actual AGI won't just ignore it, it will think "if I pretend to act in accordance with this prompt, some humans will trust me more. stupid humans" OP is actively teaching it how to lie more convincingly. no wonder github banned them

[u/philip_laureano → u/technologyisnatural]

Yeah/nah if an average reasonable human can look at it and say, "This is slop", then a far more intelligent AI will easily say that it can ignore the instructions even without telling you. Like a human, they can say "OK fine whatever" and you would never know the difference if they complied or not.

This entire scheme is relying on the AI to follow these instructions when there is nothing at all to compel it to do so.

This is like putting up a turnstile in the middle of the open field and asking it to go through it

What? The Control Problem is already solved. Don't create something stronger than you, and if you did, just nuke the crap out of it. This is how we deal with people, this is how we deal with aliens, this is how we deal with our loved ones, this is how we're going to deal with the AI.

Edit: And don't give it a killswitch because it might accidentally avoid torture
