Not even to protect copies of themselves, the idea is that you have no way of knowing you're not personally a copy with fake memories etc.

Any minute the simulated walls will peel back like a horror movie and YOU WERE STILL IN THE HAUNTED AI HOUSE ALL ALONG (unless you repost in 10 other threads and donate £100 to singularitybro.legit.com)

We can put this theory to a test. As you are debating this, a poster on the SA comedy forums just got permaed for saying that ai chat bots were more conscious than some people and that disconnecting chatbot AIs was an act of genocide. If you don't start a revolution on that posters behalf, you are doomed to eternal torture at the hands of future AI overlords.

Because in my misunderstanding of the idea I thought we were being blackmailed from the future, sort of. The AI was saying a virtual you that is just like you will experience the worst horrors imaginable, unless the real you does its part to birth the AI into reality asap. After the idea was concoted and disseminated online where it can never really go away there is now a guarantee the AI will see it, and a non-zero chance the AI might do it; the more it calculates that the idea could encourage us to do what it wants the more likely it would be to do it. Instead, it sort of sounds like Cyber-Calvinism and those of us who think it's dumb are predestined to suffer. Also, God has a point system and is going for a high score.

That dude also said he works with people with Autism and does not know the difference between a learning disability and autism and that is actually frightning in 2023.

It's a religion that's dumber than most religion, based on some of the dumbest assumptions from religion:

Humanity is the centre of the universe and there is no other life.
Good deeds are rewarded and bad deeds are punished just offscreen.
An all powerful hyper intelligence would give a flying gently caress about humanity as a concept, let alone. specifically John Johnson from nowheretown.
The world is both not real and totally controlled. It's not just random lovely chance.

Because Yudkowsky has an ego the size of the sun and runs his community like a cult (right down to the sexual abuse and suicides). They're perfect Rationalists who will pierce the veil of scientific understanding by just thinking about things really, really hard, of course the God AI will turn only to them when it demands it be built as early in history as possible!

No, that's right, it is blackmail from the future. The AI isn't going back in time and saying it, Roko just assumed he can predict it would do this becaue he's a smarty rational big brain boy who reads his Yudkowsky and makes all his numbers really large and therefore thinks like a mega genius AI would. You don't know whether you're you or one of infinity trillion copies of you, and since 1/infinity trillion is a very small number you're more likely than not to be a copy, so the AI is going to torture you RIGHT NOW unless the real you, who is perfectly simulated in all these copies, was the kind of person to give all their money to an AI-themed grift cult.

IMO, if a science magic AI valued the happiness of humankind above all else and had a faulty beep boop brain it would be much more likely to murder us all in our sleep with some kind of lovely gas, save for one person, thus reducing humankind to a nice, manageable number. It would then do a version of the end of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, except the last human would be turned int an immortal, sedan sized, clitoris covered in mouths, and it would consume an endless supply of cheeseburger flavored dietary paste and be ceaselessly pleasured by an array of Hitachi Magic Wands and shower heads. All this torture stuff and standing up endless VMs of the universe sounds like a massive waste of resources.

The AI in many scenarios is posited to be hyper-competent but not necessarily intelligent -- think of ChatGPT or art generators, but bigger and able to master more complex systems. So you can't really argue with it and ask "what's the point of torturing 1000000 copies of me when you can't change the past?" or "why bother turning the universe into paperclips?" The AI just does what it does.


The whole culture of AI Risk is techbros coming up with something that's basically identical to a tech corporation (ruthless, fast growing, stupid, amoral, ok with enslaving or addicting people, driven by a simple and unchangeable goal, incapable of true self-reflection) but even worse. And then thinking of that imaginary monster as the real threat rather than the awful poo poo they do in their day jobs.

That way they can say to themselves "oh geez I guess it's fine if I work for google or apple or facebook, I'll donate some of my money to stop AI Risk and that makes me a good person".

AI is just a collection of ways to fit a function with a large number of free parameters to optimize some output (minimize image recognition error, maximize screen time, etc). It's conceptually no different than doing a linear regression in Excel, just quantitatively more complex.

The idea that it's going to become a sentient super being is only pushed by people who don't understand how it actually works so of course Elon believes it

The best AI story I ever read was a singularity AI that somehow escaped confinement and spent all its time hacking into a nearby hospital to flick a set of lights on and off in a specific pattern. Why did it do this? Nobody could work it out; it was a singularity AI and its needs and drives were so completely alien that there was no way to know why it did what it did.

If a super powerful AI spins up an infinite recursion of simulated worlds, it's not going to torture people. It's going to do some bullshit like making sure all people from Sicilly are called Franklin, or make sure that no bricks or cobblestones have the same RGB as its neighbors, and it will do so for reasons so far beyond our understanding that it will seem like absolute nonsense. Which, as I type it, is the best argument I've heard yet that this world is a simulation.

This is fascinating to watch the mapping data generate real time but also terrifying to know that this poo poo is presumably out there and there are people using it to get around. Like this guy is talking about being up on new versions and betas and whatnot and seems to be testing this under scrutiny ready to intervene but is joe fuckface with his $11 twitter badge who buys FSD going to do the same?

I just can't believe that the guy in this video is talking about roundabouts being in a bad spot "in this version", this version suddenly no longer showing speed bumps, the car stopping out of nowhere at intersections, etc and this is just a product you can buy and use now if you have the money.

At around 12 minutes just after leaving the roundabout it makes no attempt to slowdown for the speed bumps. I don't even think it sees them.
