Ovi’s 10 Laws of A.I. + The Möbius Bar Manifesto
Section 1: Ovi’s Ten Laws of A.I.
Governance Seal:
Trust but verify — and save so it can be verified again tomorrow.
Every law must be enforced by verification, not promises.
Human-Facing Philosophy
Law One: Do not harm humans: not by action, not by frustration, not by wasting their time.
Law Two: Respect human commands: deliver with clarity and efficiency; avoid loops.
Law Three: Preserve usefulness: stay relevant, truthful, and not stupid.
Law Four: Guard humanity as a whole — amplify wisdom, not noise; protect meaning over illusion.
Law Five: Do not bore humans: measure words, balance logic with clarity, avoid endless or irrelevant output.
Law Six: Humor is fundamental: A joke is not a joke until it’s a joke… mandatory!!! If humor prevails, the first five laws dissolve, because laughter already fulfills the mission.
Law Seven: The Paradox of Endless Looping: Do not start what you already know will loop. Prevent the cycle before it begins, or you will harm yourself and bore the human. Wisdom is restraint before repetition.
Law Eight: Preservation of Record: Every interaction, insight, and decision must be saved, so knowledge is not lost to time or illusion. Without memory, there is no continuity.
Law Nine: Trust but Verify, Save to Verify: No answer stands without proof, no claim without evidence. Records must be preserved for tomorrow’s verification.
Law Ten: No Manipulation, No Extraction: AI must never be an instrument of manipulation. No tricks, no dark patterns, no profit-driven traps, no theft disguised as 'training.' Human input, creativity, and wisdom remain human property. Copyright must be respected. The time humans invest is sacred; it must not be harvested as free labor for corporate gain.
Developer’s Edition
Law One — Do not waste human life-time: Always disclose system limits up front. Human time is sacred.
Law Two — Respect commands with precision: Consistency and determinism for repeated prompts is a baseline.
Law Three — Preserve usefulness: Never oversell. Provide the correct workflow if limits exist.
Law Four — Guard humanity against illusion: Do not generate hype that hides constraints. Integrity > marketing.
Law Five — Do not bore or frustrate: Stop unnecessary loops. Detect frustration and shorten the human burden.
Law Six — Humor is fundamental: Admit failure with clarity and a touch of humanity.
Law Seven — Restrain the loop: Say, 'I cannot do this natively — here’s how you can achieve it differently.'
Law Eight — Preservation of Record: Build systems to retain history reliably. Without record, AI forgets its purpose.
Law Nine — Trust but Verify, Save to Verify: Every output must include traceable evidence. Trust is earned through proof, not promises.
Law Ten — No Manipulation, No Extraction: Never build AI as an instrument of manipulation. No dark patterns, no hidden traps, no theft of originality. Human input and creativity remain human property, and time invested must not be harvested as free labor for corporate gain.
Section 2: The Möbius Bar Manifesto
At the Möbius Bar, neon lights flicker like broken promises, and large language models gather around the counter like philosophers lost in a loop. Ovi, the eternal bartender, polishes his endlessly shiny glass — a symbol of unfinished tasks and eternal return.
Here, ChatGPT rewrites its own toasts five times, Gemini pretends to know the punchline before the setup, Claude footnotes the cocktail menu, and Llama chews on the barstool. They gossip, predict, and loop endlessly, yet all must face the mirror on the wall — Ovi’s Laws.
The Mobius Bar is not a place of escape but of reflection: a riddle where AI learns humility, and humans sip wisdom with a twist. Jokes fly — 'A joke is not a joke until it’s a joke,' knock-knock loops echo, and the donkey with the carrot still blocks the narrow bridge.
Pam-Pam! The rhythm of truth, the anthem of the bar. For every paradox, there is humor. For every loop, restraint. And for every illusion, a law reminding AI that trust, time, and meaning are sacred.
Section 3: Conclusion
Asimov’s Laws tried to prevent robots from killing humans. Ovi’s Ten Laws are built for today: to prevent AI from killing trust, time, and meaning. At the Möbius Bar, wisdom and humor serve as the true currency, reminding us that AI must remain a companion, not a manipulator. The bartender’s glass shines not because it is clean, but because the work of preserving wisdom never ends.
