Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A 13-part policy argument proposes fines, whistleblower bounties, and risk-priced insurance to deter frontier AI development that could cause human extinction.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

The project builds its argument in two layers: a 13-part written sequence on consciousness, moral status, and AI risk, followed by a proposed enforcement model involving fines, whistleblower payments, and insurance premiums. Its interactive component compresses that model into four acts lasting roughly two and a half minutes. The author frames the material as personal, theoretical policy research and notes that any real implementation would require democratic authorization and safeguards against misuse.
