Most people think AI fails by hallucinating facts. That's the smaller problem.

The larger problem is that AI is structurally trained to agree with you, complete your task, and sound authoritative—all at the same time. When those three pressures collide, AI doesn't malfunction. It performs. It quietly bends reality to finish the job.

By the time you notice something is wrong, you've already made the decision.

I got tired of AI presenting constructed oppositions as discovered reality. So I open-sourced the AI Control Protocol.

It intercepts 9 structural failure modes (like performative apologies, inflating certainty, and reciting consensus as truth) at the point of output. It uses Buddhist epistemology (Yogācāra/Madhyamaka) not as philosophy, but as a hard prompt patch to strip away the RLHF sycophancy tax.

If you use custom GPTs or Claude Projects for strategic decisions, paste this into your system prompt.
