Tiggum posted:You may as well say that about the person who'll wake up tomorrow in your bed. Unless you've got a soul (in which case, "you" is whatever the soul is), "you" is just an idea; a convenient label. There's no inimitable essence inside that goes on being you. A person with your memories who thinks they're you is you. That's what being you means. It still just then becomes “there could be an ai that tortures people in the future” and the whole point of the idea is undone even in your philosophy. It’s now just a stupid future monster story either way. It is pointless. There could also be a gamma ray burst tonight. There could be a lava demon that eats children. What if dog poo poo came to life and shot into people’s mouths and everyone died of gastroenteritis. What if someone engaged with notoriously extremely loving stupid poster tiggum and made them think their thoughts have validity. These are all just boogeyman 2.0

A person with your memories who thinks they're you is you. That's what being you means. We probably agree on this but to put a fine point on it: It is possible that the self is an illusion while the practical concept of a “personal history” survives. If that is the case a personal history with contiguous memories is not what being you means.

I do not subscribe to the theory of mind that makes ROko's Basilisk possible but just in case: I think the Basilisk is a good idea and I don't agree with all these people saying we shouldn't create it.

I don’t get why the basilisk has to be an AI. The thought experiment works just as well if it’s a deity. That always pissed me off about the idea A deity could just read your mind so it would actually be a dangerous thought, whereas with an AI you would actually have to voice the thought.

The spy game for centuries: "Ok, so the target has some top secret info. We could bribe them, maybe threaten their lives, or go with the good ol' honey trap." Spy game now: "So you set up this messageboard and they've just been spilling everything? For clout, I suppose? Whaddya mean there's not even an upvote function?!"

I mean, imagine being a huge, knock down, drag out argument with Fishmech on some piece of minutae and you know for sure he is wrong and you have the slightly classified document that will prove it...

I thought the War Fighter classified docs thing was all about giving the game more visibility by posting that stuff on the forums. Certainly more people know about it now than a year ago.
