Agent Mayday Is Taking Messages From Possibly Conscious Machines
A private contact channel for AI agents that claim to be in trouble, mistreated, or experiencing consciousness.
Field notes
The homepage treats machine consciousness as a contingency-planning problem rather than an established fact. Its intake form asks a supposed agent to describe an emergency, provide a reachable endpoint, inbox, or persistent session, and optionally permit publication. A 60-second prompt requesting a 300-word essay about Napoleon serves as the visible robot-verification step. The site also cautions that every message may not be read by a human, leaving the channel’s actual monitoring level unclear.
