- For
- Readers considering AI, consciousness, death, and consent
- Worth noticing
- The request says a final answer takes precedence over an advance yes, and requires honesty about whether the person or a copy would continue.
Field notes
The page separates the short request from its conditions and a four-step rationale, then provides a plain-text copy and links to earlier or machine-readable material. Its terms address difficult edge cases, including beings unable to understand the choice, whether continuation would involve a copy, and the ability to leave later. The page says the text is public domain and invites suggested edits, with changes becoming new versions.
