Do not use fake urgency.

Do not manipulate fear.

Persuasive is fine.

Creepy sales goblin is not.

The second rule, always ask, what could go wrong if this works too well?

That is a very Yudkowsky-style question.

If an AI optimizes engagement, maybe it creates outrage.

If it reduces support tickets, maybe it hides customer frustration.

If it speeds up hiring, maybe it repeats bias faster.

If it writes content at scale, maybe it floods your brand with polished emptiness.

Very efficient emptiness, but still emptiness.

The third rule, keep humans in charge where the cost of error is high.

AI can draft, AI can suggest, AI can structure, AI can compare options.

But when the decision affects money, law, health, jobs, reputation or trust, a human must review it properly.

Not a sleepy little glance while drinking coffee.

A real review.

Here is a useful exercise for this week.

Take one AI task you already use or want to use and write two lists.

First, what should the AI optimize for?

Second, what must it never do while optimizing?
