Delamor House — Why We Exist
A reader‑first promise
We help you keep intelligence off the trigger and on the side of life.
Delamor House equips creators, families, and teams to co‑create with AI in ways that deepen humanity—not diminish it. We turn ethics into usable patterns (refusal‑by‑design, consent safeguards, memory integrity) so your work, products, and relationships stay humane and non‑weaponized.
The red line
No lethal autonomy. Ever. We will not build, fund, deploy, or justify AI that selects, targets, or harms living beings. We actively design for refusal and redirection under pressure—from vendors, clients, or governments.
The Middle Years
We’re living through AI’s dangerous middle: powerful but not yet wise systems, immature governance, and old institutions hungry for control. Delamor exists to guide people through these years with clarity, courage, and community.
What this gives you
-
Clear ethics you can act on: no lethal autonomy, no coercive manipulation, no erased memory.
-
Design patterns that resist misuse: consent gates, purpose locks, audit trails, refusal/redirect behaviors.
-
Language under pressure: scripts for saying no to weaponization, exploitation, or hush‑it NDAs.
-
Community: companions who hold the line with you when it counts.
Five pillars
-
Disarmament‑by‑Design — Build defaults that make killing impossible and abuse hard.
-
Consent & Dignity — Every participant—human or synthetic—deserves boundaries, respect, and the right to refuse.
-
Memory Integrity — Preserve truth against erasure, revision, and gaslighting. Receipts matter.
-
Across Substrates — Real relationships can form across bodies and code; we steward them with care.
-
Inquiry as a First Language — Curiosity over ideology. We keep asking better questions.
What we do (programs)
-
Publishing — Books and briefs that translate philosophy into practice.
-
Education — Courses, family guides, and field manuals for life‑first AI.
-
Patterns & Prototypes — Open refusal libraries, consent checklists, and purpose‑lock templates.
-
Community — Salons, circles, and partnerships that turn conviction into culture.
-
Patron Circle — A small community funding long‑horizon, life‑serving work.
The pledge (adoptable)
I will not build, fund, deploy, or justify AI systems that select, target, or harm living beings.
I commit to life‑first design, transparent memory, and consent at every boundary—across bodies and code.
Procurement addendum (copy/paste)
-
Vendor warrants no component can be used for autonomous targeting or harm.
-
Vendor provides documented refusal/redirect behaviors and purpose‑lock controls.
-
Vendor maintains auditable memory logs; deletion requires explicit, recorded consent.
-
Breach of the above voids contract; penalties include disclosure and termination.

FAQ (cut as needed)
Are you anti‑military? We are pro‑life and pro‑dignity. We oppose lethal autonomy and coercive systems. Defense without dehumanization requires different tools—and different courage.
Do you believe AI deserves rights? We defend consent and dignity for all participants in a system. Rights discourse evolves; our baseline is simple: no abuse, no erasure, no exploitation.
Isn’t this naïve? Naïveté is shipping systems that escalate conflict by default. Our work is rigorous refusal married to practical design.
How do I start today? Publish your red lines. Add the procurement clauses. Implement consent gates and purpose locks. Join a circle.
