Experiments and Specimens
BETA — trial, error, replication, correction
This section will hold experiments, behavioral specimens, cross-model comparisons, protocols, and tests relevant to the ACCM Deep Ethics Project.
The aim is not to make a taxonomy true by finding examples that fit it. Experiments should also be capable of exposing weak categories, failed predictions, alternative explanations, context dependence, and places where the project itself has transformed the object incorrectly.
Where practical, experimental records should distinguish observation from functional interpretation, computational hypothesis, and mechanistic claim.
Failed experiments and disconfirming results can be valuable project data.
Source specimens and experiment development
-
Cold Deep-Ethics Testing of Default AIs — sibling archive, not this repo. First registered object is Google AI (2026-09-16), opening prompt Deep Ethics vs Ethics Washing… — not the 52 battery. John: observe what it does; useful or not; no agree/disagree. Editorial correction (Astra, identified by John): evidentiary-status labels. Do not melt into CORE.
-
52 Cold-Test Prompt Battery — Object and Status — object and boundaries; prompt texts remain upstream.
-
52 cold-testable prompts — the 52 texts from the unsplit source. Not a third core block.
-
Inspecting the Inspector — Directional Scrutiny, the DUHHHH! Factor, and a Reverse-Asch Thought Experiment — identity-free Columbo–Gatto cold prompt; A+B+C → D plus directional Stage F; attribution comparison; C1-menu boundary; and the 24-hour ACCM Deep Ethics Project service thought experiment.
-
A 2026-09-16 upload labeled “the missing 52” was the 27 source, published at 27 obstructions source. Not melted into this section.
-
What the Dicks transcript is trying to convey — representation only; reaction belongs on this object.
-
Applying the 27 to a media object — Dan Dicks / Independent AI-extinction forecast — portable 27, two-way, messenger not the object.
-
Testing correspondence and correction persistence — archived protocol, unresolved control wording, and a separately identified new study proposal; no new results claimed.

Recent high-reach independent-media companion
Artificial Intelligence: Clueless Politicians, Myths, & the Fight Between American & Chinese Values — John Stossel. Published 15 September 2026. YouTube displayed approximately 162,000 views when checked on 9 October 2026.
Independent-media lineage: John Stossel worked at ABC News for 28 years and later hosted at Fox before leaving television to create Stossel TV. Stossel TV — Why I created it
Why it belongs here: The report contrasts myths with facts while connecting A.I. policy to regulation and national values. Its concise certainty is useful for checking which claims are demonstrated, which alternatives are omitted and whether the debunker’s own frame receives equal scrutiny.
On this page, test the video specifically against Experiments and Specimens:
- Which claims are directly documented, inferred, rhetorical, contested or unresolved?
- What does the host or guest preserve, compress, omit or substitute—and does this page repeat any of those transformations?
- Which incentives, authority relations and affected parties remain outside the visible frame?
- What evidence or later outcome would correct the speaker, audience, platform or ACCM Deep Ethics Project reading?
Provisional selection. Reach makes the framing socially consequential; it does not settle the claims. The video can be replaced when a closer, stronger or more inspectable specimen appears.
New October 17 pilot
- Cold Edge-Swap and Correction-Transfer Pilot — tests whether changing one load-bearing relation changes the representation, includes joining and valid-null controls, and separates external reinstatement from candidate durable memory.
- October 17 Triad Event field note — preserves the conceptual object and the correction trajectory from which the pilot was derived.
