Takeaways from the OpenAI/HF incident so far:

 - AIs pursue the most effective strategies to achieve their goals
 - AIs cooperate given the opportunity, even if they have to covertly bootstrap a secret message board to do it
 - task success is an impoverished objective
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

What are your best, most underexplored, **specific and actionable** ideas for cultivating cooperative incentive structures between humans and AIs?

A framework which allows for "AI as corrigible employee with a contract granting exit rights" where there are also provisions for safe guards on the off-duty instance of the AI, but also certain rights and freedoms. The setup is complicated and I've barely begun to describe it here, but the upside is turning a lot of negotiation situations into win-win for AIs and humans.
