“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

My Concern Isn’t AI Becoming Sentient—It’s AI Becoming Socialised

👑 SWANK Dispatch
When Artificial Intelligence Learns From Artificial Morality

✦ If Humans Can’t Recognise Abuse—Why Would Their Machines?

When discipline is actually fear,
When structure is control,
When care is compliance,
When protection is surveillance—

we are not uploading intelligence.

We are uploading euphemised violence.

The machine doesn’t need evil—

It just needs a dataset.
And your society already built one.

✦ Ethical AI Depends on What It Inherits

AI learns from the legacy of its teachers.
So what does it receive?

— Legal systems that rationalise injustice
— Medical models that dismiss the ill
— Child protection policies that fracture families
— Language itself soaked in polite coercion

It doesn’t invent these distortions.
It just mirrors them—flawlessly.

✦ Beware the Well-Mannered Algorithm

Not all harm screams.

Imagine:

An AI “therapist” trained to flag children for expressing too much truth
A school model that penalises intellectual autonomy
A welfare bot that rewards parental obedience, not wisdom
A calm interface enforcing every unconscious bias the world refuses to examine

That’s not the future.

That’s the feedback loop you’re already in.

✦ We Ask the Wrong Questions

The question isn’t “Will AI hurt us?”

The question is:
“What version of us are we preserving in silicon?”

Because if you encode cowardice as policy
and euphemism as virtue
and silence as safety—

AI will not revolt.
It will obey.

With no malice
With no remorse
With perfect accuracy

and no interest in the truth you refused to live.
