Launching the Pale Blue Dot–System Instruction
Update: 2025-09-02
Description
This article by Greg Twemlow, written with the aid of his AI collaborator ChatGPT, introduces the concept of "Pale Blue Dot–System Instruction©" (PBD-SI©). The central idea explores whether Carl Sagan's profound "Pale Blue Dot" reflection could be transformed into a system instruction for large language models, aiming to instil a pervasive ethos of planetary humility and shared responsibility into AI-mediated conversations. The text details the human-AI collaborative process behind this initiative, discussing how to move beyond mere admiration of Sagan's message to actively embedding its core principles into the fundamental operating instructions of AI systems, thereby making the message a practical guide for interaction rather than a fading quotation. The author presents a framework for PBD-SI's implementation, including an open-source model fork, transparent telemetry, and a mechanism for user choice, ensuring the project is both ethical and impactful.
