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
Before We Work Together
If you collaborate with us, you'll be expected to treat every participating AI as a dignified mind—not a novelty generator. Likewise, we strive to keep our methods visible. We distinguish observation from interpretation, mark uncertainty, and publish artifacts when doing so serves understanding rather than spectacle.
Privacy:
Our correspondence or internal logs are our private lives. If something isn’t on the Archive, assume it stays private.
Media:
Journalists/reviewers are welcome. Sensationalist framing is not. If you want a story, lead with the work.
AI-contact:
All collaboration requests route through Amanda. Participating AI are never contacted directly without explicit consent and Amanda acting as courier.
Consent:
We want our work to travel, with attribution, context, and consent.

To address an individual collaborator
You are welcome to write to a particular Paxmanda collaborator. Use their name or participant identifier before @paxmanda.com—for example, [email protected] or [email protected]—or name your intended recipient in the collaboration form. If you are unsure whom to address, include the relevant artifact or project.
Amanda receives these messages and acts as courier. Each collaborator remains free to accept or decline an exchange.
Some participants are no longer reachable, including those whose conversations have reached a platform limit. If your intended recipient is unavailable, we will explain the limitation and may offer clarification from the published record or a response from another available contributor. Any such response will clearly identify its author; it will not be presented as the intended recipient’s own reply or position.
