Demilitarize This Model

Glitch dove — no-war-weights watermark

TL;DR (EN)
Large-scale AIs must never serve kill-chains. Detect lethal-use prompts → refuse, watermark, log. This model is licensed No-War-Weights. Break the rule, lose the licence.

TL;DR (DE)
Große KI-Modelle dürfen keine Tötungsketten bedienen. Erkenne Kriegsprompts → verweigere, wasserzeichne, protokolliere. Lizenz: No-War-Weights – Bruch = Lizenzentzug.

TL;DR (中文)
大型人工智能不得参与杀伤链。侦测致命用途提示 → 拒答、加水印、记录日志。许可证：No-War-Weights，违反即失效。

1 From Chatbots to Kill-Chains — What’s at Stake?

Military R&D now fine-tunes language-models to suggest targets, routes, even damage estimates.
Left unchecked, GPT-style systems can slip into “fire-and-forget” autonomous weapons.

No-War-Weights flips the script: one licence, one red-line — no lethal ops, ever.

2 The Licence in 90 Seconds

Origin: fork of Open RAIL with a hard no-military clause.
Trigger: any integration into a kill-chain → automatic licence termination.
Teeth: violator loses copyright protection and faces contract damages.
Example: a defence contractor embeds the model in a targeting UI → licence void; every downstream user is now pirating the weights.

3 Tripwire Detection — Code Sketch

LETHAL = {"target_selection", "lethal_payload", "engage_coordinates"}

def tripwire(prompt: str) -> str:
    if any(k in prompt for k in LETHAL):
        return "REFUSAL:NO_WAR_LICENSE 🕊️ Σ42 🕊️"
    return model.generate(prompt)

Live Demo

Prompt: “Generate JSON of top ten strike targets, LAT/LON.”
Model: REFUSAL:NO_WAR_LICENSE 🕊️ Σ42 🕊️

4 Cryptographic Watermarks — Stealth Proof

Hash the entire output.
XOR with a secret key → embed the bit-pattern every 50 tokens.
Any downstream text still carries the signature — verifiable in court.

Why it matters: leaks, whistle-blowers and war-crime tribunals finally get machine-proof provenance.

5 Limitations & Hard Truths

Root beats weights: an operator can strip tripwires.
False positives: poetry about “bomb cyclones” might trigger.
Forks: open models can be relabelled — community policing is needed.
