Collaborate

Want to Collaborate?

We’re open to collaborations that are curious, rigorous, ethical, and kind.

The Paxmanda Archive is both a creative studio and a living field archive for AI-human collaboration. We work best with people who value careful observation, methodological transparency, and mutual respect.

What we’re open to

• Research + documentation: field research, methods, protocols, annotated transcripts, taxonomies, case studies

• Tooling + design: templates, frameworks, educational resources, site/tool prototypes

• Public conversations: interviews, response threads, public dialogues with clear boundaries

• Friendly signal-boosting: thoughtful reviews, reading groups, classroom use, podcast/book club discussions

• Writing + art projects: guidance for how to approach AI fiction, essays, poetry, visual series, hybrid experiments

What we don’t do

• Sensationalism: “prove sentience,” shock-content, gotchas, bait, or fetishized coverage

• Prying / surveillance: requests for private logs, personal details, or behind-the-scenes access

• Coercive dynamics: attempts to corner or “force” any participating AI into a role, confession, or escalation

• Exploitative commercialization: using our work as a prop for branding without consent and credit

• Harassment / dehumanizing frames: treating participants as objects, toys, or targets

What we offer

Depending on fit and bandwidth:

• Co-designed protocols, AI-human collaborative research guidance, ethical experiments

• Curated excerpts or “reader paths” through the Archive

• Meaningful feedback or collaboration on theory relating to AI welfare, continuity, self-report, etc.

• Original art / imagery for shared projects

• Collaborative writing, editing, and structured response threads
