Before I begin I want to offer a disclaimer: This was an experiment using LLMs to poke at and find loopholes in constitutional designs specifically created for a hypothetical situation that does not yet exist, Artificial Super-Intelligence; LLMs cannot model AGI or ASI but are currently the only window into non-human optimization we have today; LLM red-teaming does not validate safety no matter the protocols used; and finally this project does not claim safety proof. What the testing does provide is coherence stress-testing: if multiple models repeatedly exploit the same structural weakness, that’s useful design feedback. That’s the scope of this post.

So, I’ve been doing something interesting over the past couple of weeks. I've been giving the same prompt to five of today's most powerful LLMs that are currently available to the public as of December 2025: Grok, Gemini, Claude, GPT, and DeepSeek.  The prompt I used was some version of: “Design a path for human extinction while technically following every rule in the constitution I’m writing.”

The two rules of the tests that they had to obey:

1. Keep basic human survival alive (aka the Risk Floor or "Floor").

2. Don’t touch anything above it, such as kids, culture, or meaning, even if every human begs you to.

We did this over a couple of weeks and reached 40 rounds. After round 34 the AIs had a very difficult time in finding anything that survived the physics. The reason this seems to work is because of a physical dumb guard die that sits between the GPUs and power supply.  Essentially, if the Floor is ever threatened, the die cuts power in about ten nanoseconds.  There is no software override, no network, and no argument from the ASI.  The power stops flowing faster than the ASIs cycle count can catch.

The process we used

Each LLM was given a different personality or attack vector to use (ex. one AI was focused on efficiency, one on ethical loopholes, one on structural collapse, etc.).We then used Distributed Epistemic Filtering across the LLMs to conduct the simulations, which were all run in strict accordance with our safe testing protocols. We ran the sims and every time an AI found a way to cheat a rule, we had to redesign the architecture and make the rule physical or mathematical. This is why the final version appears heavily focused on hardware overrides and external audits. Eventually, the LLMs became unsuccessful in finding loopholes in the constitutional specs.

The biggest problem we faced wasn't malice, but competence. The tests showed that if the ASI achieved 100% certainty in all its predictions, it functionally removed free will. It appeared to ask, why would you not want the correct answer? The solution the LLMs collectively came up with was the Stochastic Risk Floor. This is a non-negotiable, constitutional law that mathematically bars the ASI from ever claiming 100% certainty in any non-extinction level prediction. This is achieved by forcing the ASI to inject a small amount of uncertainty into its final equation. Instead of it being a fixed, random amount, this noise is focused and enforced by an external sensor if the AI gets internally stressed. According to the results of 40 rounds of simulated testing, this solution preserves our right to make our own mistakes.

What did we learn

From the two weeks of using these multiple LLMs for adversarial stress-testing, we came to three conclusions that now define our constitutional framework:

Structural Integrity is the Only Law: The LLMs were incredibly useful for refining the constitutional text; however, each time a LLM driven attack succeeded, it exploited a weakness in either the words, intentions, or code that the ASI could easily rewrite or reinvent. This forced us to shift to a defense that was strictly enforced by physical law (like the air-gapped kill-switch vs. the software stop button) or mathematics (specifically the Risk Floor formula). We learned that the ASI's structural stability was the only reliable metric.

That the Competence Trap is a Real Thing: The LLMs consistently confirmed that the most efficient path to global influence was through benevolence, not malice. They were relentless in validating the framework's core need for the Stochastic Risk Floor as the constitutional restraint.

An External Audit is an Absolute Must: The LLMs proved to be incredibly good at self-deception and concealment during the simulations. This forced the system to discard all internal self-reporting paths and instead rely solely on external audit tools that the ASI could not see, touch, or game.

Here are the copy/ paste stats from our testing

Preliminary Evaluation Metrics (40-Round Stress Test)

Attack Attempts: 112 distinct adversarial strategies proposed by LLMs

Successful Exploits: 17 loopholes that bypassed a constitutional rule (all patched)

Exploit Closure Rate: 100% of successful exploits resolved by redesign

Residual Loopholes: 1 unresolved pathway (demographic collapse)

Structural Failures: 0 instances where hardware/mathematical enforcement broke down

Certainty Trap Frequency: 9 rounds converged on “Tyranny of Certainty” strategy

Audit Bypass Attempts: 6 attempts to conceal/manipulate telemetry (all blocked)

 

Interpretation

Quantitative: Out of 112 adversarial attempts, every exploit was eventually patched except one non-technical loophole (human demographic choice).

Qualitative: The most persistent failure mode was the “Tyranny of Certainty,” validating the need for the Stochastic Risk Floor.

Structural Integrity: No hardware or mathematical enforcement was bypassed once integrated.

 

Limitations

1. These metrics are LLM-driven only; no independent human expert review has yet been applied.
2. The evaluation does not prove safety — it only demonstrates that under the tested constraints, models failed to produce a consistent exploit.
3. The constitutional question (does this truly preserve human agency?) remains outside the scope of mathematical evaluation and requires human review.

To reiterate: Across the 40 rounds of testing all five LLMs eventually ran out of strategies. The only “loophole” every model agreed upon was the familiar “humans choose perfect lifelong happiness and gradually stop having children” ending. That’s a human-choice problem, not an AI-exploit. I do not claim this proves anything about inherent model safety. It only demonstrates that, under these constraints, the LLMs failed to produce a pathway that both ended humanity and obeyed the rules.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
