Ai Red Lines

1 GoKawiil brief on this topic

Side project 'AI Red Lines' urges people to pre-write their own AI tripwires

A new Show HN project, originally called The Rotblat Line, invites users to write down specific conditions that would make them act on AI developments—such as quitting a job, speaking out, or getting involved—before those conditions arise. It's inspired by physicist Joseph Rotblat, who left the Manhattan Project in 1944 once his sole reason for joining—fear that Nazi Germany would build an atomic bomb first—no longer applied. The tool suggests revisiting these personal 'red lines' annually on November 4, Rotblat's birthday.
