Cingulate posted:Don't ever think about thinking about CENSORED though or you lose CENSORED. YOU DO NOT THINK IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL ABOUT SUPERINTELLIGENCES CONSIDERING WHETHER OR NOT TO BLACKMAIL YOU. THAT IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE THING WHICH GIVES THEM A MOTIVE TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE BLACKMAIL. You have to be really clever to come up with a genuinely dangerous thought. I am disheartened that people can be clever enough to do that and not clever enough to do the obvious thing and KEEP THEIR IDIOT MOUTHS SHUT about it, because it is much more important to sound intelligent when talking to your friends. This post was STUPID. Much like arguing about IQ.

Yudkowsky believes that robot god will find a loophole to thermodynamics to allow for truly eternal life, and that it will be able to look into the past and reconstruct a perfect simulation of a person by reading their forum posts so that no-one has to die for good even if they stop living before the singularity hits. I'm only slightly exaggerating.

The robot is really smart and bayesian and will defeat entropy, because when Yud says he doesn't want to die he doesn't mean he wants to live a very long time - no, it's Deathist defeatism and treason against humanity to ever accept the inevitability of death. Heat death is unacceptable.

Jack Gladney posted:Supremely perfect AI know that posthumanist heaven-on-earth will need everyone reconstructed in perfect form: straight, white, technocratic, and libertarian. You will be remade in rationalist, social-darwinist perfection and spend the eons arguing with Yud about information theory and cryonics, even though neither of you has ever so much as taken a college course in neurology. You will see nothing wrong with that, now that your brain has been perfected by the subtle modifications needed to turn you into a bloviating shitheel droning on forever and ever after about eugenics and the glory of the market. "Aumann's agreement theorem, roughly speaking, says that two agents acting rationally (in a certain precise sense) and with common knowledge of each other's beliefs cannot agree to disagree. More specifically, if two people are genuine Bayesians, share common priors, and have common knowledge of each other's current probability assignments, then they must have equal probability assignments."

Parallel Paraplegic posted:I know it's a stupid idea for a lot of reasons but why would torturing a simulation of you based on whatever facts it can glean from (presumably) the internet's past be any different than torturing a completely different person who happens to also play TF2 at 4 AM every night and fap to diaperfur or whatever? Why does it even have to be a simulation of you, or a simulation at all - why can't it just threaten to torture a percentage of future people unless you help it because you're such an effective altruist you'd do whatever you can to reduce the suffering of hypothetical future people? Because you could be that simulation, and in thirty seconds it'll move from simulating your historical normal mortal life into infinite torture mode. This isn't very likely, but if you multiply the odds by a trillion trillion trillion then it's practically certain!

If robot god is malicious we're all automatically hosed, so rather than donating everything to yudkowsky to fund creating good robot god we should donate everything to yudkowsky to research how to make sure robot god is not malicious, and also not well-meaning but stupid enough to be just as bad as malicious robot god. #stopskynet #8lives1dollar

Saeku posted:On the topic of simulation hypothesis: I met a Rationalist who said he tried his best to spend his life around influencers and great men. If outsiders are simulating this world to observe it, at some point they might turn off the boring parts of the simulation to save processing power, so he wanted to be in the interesting part. It's only a small step from there to some versions of the Joker.

And that's why you're a loving insane bully, rear end in a top hat and all around loving villain. You want to pretend that honestly held beliefs about mere matters of biology are MORALLY BLAMEWORTHY, to the same level of advocating genocide, or frankly any level of "intolerance". There's no moral component to this belief, here, none whatsoever, but you DISHONESTLY WANT TO loving PRETEND THERE IS, JUST TO SLANDER PEOPLE. gently caress you, rear end in a top hat, bully, liar and villain. gently caress all your lies, gently caress your privileged existence, where you have the absurd comfort of bashing and slandering progressive people for not believing the exact same set of beliefs as you. For decades, since I was in school and afterwards in the workplace, I've often stood alone in crowds of my peers, supporting gay rights, or opposing antisemetism or racism. But you loving bully, instead found a pack of fellow bullies, and amuse yourself by slandering progressives instead, just because they're all-around better people than you in all axes of virtue -- whether that's charity, or intelligence, or honesty, or intellectual integrity, all qualities you lack.  (the "honestly held beliefs about mere matters of biology" are exactly what you'd think they are, of course)

Pitch posted:I read some scifi short story that must have been 1960s or older which started out by saying it was a love story between a man described as "bronze" and a woman who was a gymnast. Then over the course of a few pages it explained that the man was literally bronze, in a radiation-proof space travel body, and the woman breathed water and was covered with a fine layer of insulating fur, and the two of them having sex was physically impossible but they traded recordings of themselves to simulate loving in a computer before the man shipped out from her planet on his spaceship. It was actually a way better story than you'd think from reading a description of it. Can't remember the name or author, though. Pretty sure it wasn't Delany.

That was the only thing that came to mind for CP and DE-adjacent alt-right types, not knowing the context. Anyway I know you've read two of my posts in this thread, three now, so it shouldn't surprise you that I'm kind of an idiot.
