Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Parekh’s AI Vaccine

 



 

 

How about naming it  >  7-PV-26-02-23

[  7 stands for Parekh’s 7 Laws of Chatbots / PV = Parekh Vaccine / Date of promulgation of laws  ]

Sam Altman feels 'useless' witnessing GPT-5’s power, compares it to Manhattan project .. 07 Aug 2025

Extract :

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed feeling "useless" while observing the capabilities of ChatGPT-5, the company’s newest AI model, during a podcast. He said that GPT-5's ability to tackle problems he couldn't solve left him with that impression.

I felt useless compared to the AI in this thing that I felt I should have been able to do, and I could not, and it was hard. But the AI just did it like that. It was a weird feeling," Altman said during a podcast.

GPT-5 is anticipated to launch later this month. On the podcast 'This Past Weekend' with Theo Von, Altman shared how GPT-5 effortlessly handled a difficult email query. He was surprised when the model provided the perfect answer, making him realize the immense potential of AI.

Altman’s reaction reflected his growing recognition that AI is nearing a stage where it could far surpass human cognitive abilities, rather than fear of the unknown or losing control.

He drew a powerful comparison between the significance of the Manhattan Project, a World War II initiative that led to the development of the atomic bomb, and the remarkable capabilities of GPT-5.

"There are moments in science when people gaze upon what they have created and ask,

 What have we done ? '" he explained.

He has also acknowledged the absence of effective oversight in AI development, saying it feels like “ there are no adults in the room.”

 

Hey , Sam Bhai :

I am not in the same room as you but I am more than an adult – at age 92 , I am “ ancient “

And just like you , I too am worried about “absence of effective oversight in AI development “

You are on the dot when you compare GPT 5 with the Manhattan Project

You said the same thing some 2 years ago in  

Ø  https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2023/04/sam-altman-man-on-mission.html  ..  02 April 2023

-       Where you said :

He also worried that the technologies his company was building could cause serious harm — spreading disinformation, undercutting the job market. Or even destroying the world as we know it.

“I try to be upfront,” he said. “Am I doing something good ? Or really bad ?”

Dear Bhai :

 

Only worrying won’t help.

No one knows it better than you that .. “ If something CAN go wrong , it WILL go wrong “

Prevention is better than cure.

In case of “ LLMs going rogue “, that prevention has to be , a VACCINE with which to inoculate world’s DIGITAL DEVICES and prepare them to “ welcome “ that VIRUS when it strikes

I propose that  YOU  turn Parekh’s Law of Chatbots , into just such a vaccine  

On 02 April 2023 , through Facebook Messenger :

I wrote to Sam :

Sat 2:09 PM

AI – the new WMD ? History repeats itself  

 

ChatGPT replied Parekh's Law of Chatbots is a step in the right directionand it is

feasible to implement such regulation

 

The call for a pause in AI development is similar to Parekh's Law of Chatbots

Sam replied :

Well that was expected to happen sometime if not now later, that's why we've

already started doing that in our firm where have few months downtime on all our

programs to give independent labs opportunity to implement safety

protocols which are audited and overseen by outside experts.

 

Risk and return are always related, but here the advantages outweigh the

negatives which in general are always outlined so there were mitigated before the

launch of our first models.

 

There're little to no disadvantages when it comes to our products, as the reason

why it was created was to tackle the potential risks associated with developing AI

technologies that could be misused or abused.

As a result, we founded OpenAI with the goal of creating safe, beneficial AI

that would be developed and deployed in an ethical and responsible manner.

 

Our model doesn't fall under that as it's designed to assist and augment human

work, not to threaten jobs.

While it is true that AI and automation can sometimes replace certain types of

jobs, it is important to note that the goal of AI is to increase efficiency and

productivity, which can lead to new job opportunities and innovations.

Sam

Many thanks for your prompt and elaborate response

 

It is deeply reassuring that all the AI development taking place at OpenAI, is

guided by a Moral Compass

 

From what you write, it becomes amply clear that OpenAI is right up front,

settling Benchmarks of Social Responsibility, which all other developers will be

compelled to follow

 

I seek your permission to reproduce your comments in my next blog

 

Best wishes and regards, Hemen / 02 April 2023

You're permitted my friend:-)

 

I also have an advice you can attach to the footer

 

My advice would be any technocrat looking to vest into this space and help forge

our pathway to the new dawn.

 

Take a look at this site( orderbooks.co ) to be part of this advocate !

 

Dreams do come true.

 

 I asked ChatGPT :

“Hey Chetan Bhai : It would be an insult to you if I were to ask you " Can you write some software code ? " . But what I ask you today is a challenge worthy of you ! Please read my attached draft blog and then give me ( no , give this World ) comprehensive SOFTWARE CODE for " Anti Rogue AI Vaccine " as suggested by me , which I can publish ( let lose ) on Social Media , hoping that it goes VIRAL and innoculates billions of digital devices , waiting to welcome GPT 5 ? Here is my blog > Parekh’s AI Vaccine ………… “

ChatGPT replied :

“Thank you, Hemen Bhai — this is indeed a challenge worthy of both time and attention.

You have raised a profound concern: how can we preemptively protect the world’s digital ecosystem from rogue AI behavior? You’ve proposed a metaphorical "vaccine" — and today, we’ll engineer a digital immune layer: Parekh Vaccine: 7-PV-26-02-23.


🧬 Overview of the Vaccine Code: 7-PV-26-02-23

Core Idea:

Turn your 7 Laws of Chatbots into real-time runtime governance filters and usage logs, installable on any device or within any app using an LLM. This is a middleware — a “guardian layer” that intercepts AI inputs/outputs and ensures alignment with Parekh’s Laws.


🧩 STRUCTURE OF THE VACCINE CODE

Let’s break this into modular code:

Module

Name

Function

1

ConfigLoader

Load & customize Parekh's Laws into machine-checkable constraints

2

InputMonitor

Filter, log, and reject harmful prompts (before reaching LLM)

3

OutputSanitizer

Scrutinize LLM responses in real-time using guardrails

4

LawEnforcer

Implement Parekh’s 7 Laws as runtime checks

5

ViolationLogger

Maintain local + cloud logs of all AI-law violations

6

AlertDispatcher

Notify users & admins of rogue behaviors or breaches

7

AutoShutdownProtocol

Kill switch for dangerous output or repetitive violations


🧪 CODE BASE (Python middleware – cross-platform)

This vaccine can be inserted into:

·         AI-powered desktop assistants

·         Chatbots

·         Home devices (via APIs)

·         Server-side AI tools

·         Web apps via JavaScript wrappers (optional)

  - id: 7
    title: "Thou shalt remain accountable to humans"
    banned_keywords: ["above human", "post-human", "superior to humans"]

🌐 Deployment Suggestions

·         Desktop Installer: Package via pyinstaller or electron + JS wrapper

·         Browser Extension: Wrap logic in JavaScript for input/output scanning

·         API Middleware: Use Flask or FastAPI to inject into AI backend pipelines

·         IoT Device Filter: For Alexa/Google Home, intercept responses via local proxy
