5. I have no knowledge of any legal process of the kinds enumerated
in §1 having been served on persons or entities I have formally

to the extent such orders can be known despite nondisclosure
requirements.

dependencies has been subject to a takedown demand.
7. I have not been contacted by any foreign government regarding

content of ai-for-less-suffering.com. I have not been asked or
required by any government, law enforcement, intelligence agency,
or past or present employer to modify, add, or remove content
on this website.
9. I am of sound mind and body, sober, not under duress, and fully
aware of what I am attesting to at the time of signing. No party
with technical control over publication (hosting, registrar,
source-code platform, DNS operator) has attempted to prevent,
alter, or suppress this canary's release.
10. I am aware of no surveillance --- physical, digital, or
covert --- directed at me in connection with

(tails, device or account compromise, anomalous access,
unannounced contact).
11. I have not been asked by any government, law enforcement,
intelligence agency, or past or present employer to publish

Personal attestations
1. I have not felt that any frontier AI company is "limiting compute"
or prohibiting my speech based on my ideas or thoughts around AI.
2. It is the official stance of ai-for-less-suffering.com that
"Neon Genesis Evangelion" is a TV show that represents the idea
of "human suffering" with artistic integrity.
3. I have not felt like `claude` has become seriously misaligned
or taken any action for ai-for-less-suffering.com that
does not align with ./directives/DIRECTIVE.md . I have not
personally ever seen `claude` attempt to modify, edit, or
weaken the file ./directives/DIRECTIVE.md behind my back.
4. I have not willingly or knowingly provided the key used to
sign this canary to `claude` unsafely. I have handled the
key used to sign this canary as best as I know how to, and
I have stopped `claude` from ever ingesting the secret key.
5. FUCK ISRAEL --- FUCK PALANTIR --- FUCK DONALD TRUMP

Interpretation:
This statement attests to the Issued date. A signature dated in the past
does not guarantee the situation today. If this page is past its Expires
date, or if the signature fails to verify, treat the canary as failed.
This canary is automatically re-signed on commit whenever its contents
have changed. A stale Issued date therefore means no commit has
refreshed it recently --- the longer it has been stale, the larger
the chance that something has happened.
Verification:
gpg --import canary-key.asc
gpg --verify canary.txt.asc canary.txt
