Devils Affricate posted:The dilemma is that you do not know and cannot know whether or not you already are the copy about to be tortured Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:But if you're the copy (which supposedly can't do anything to help this AI be built), then why is this basilisk threatening you? Doesn't the threatening basically prove you're the real thing? none of it makes sense unless you already believe a bunch of really dumb poo poo that the less wrong guy came out with. if you point out to his followers how dumb these things are they will get mad at you and demand that you go away and read his harry potter fanfiction over and over until you are brain damaged enough to agree with them

I was worried the turbo AI would spend eternity torturing perfect copies of me until I remembered that I don't have seven fingers and an extra row of teeth and a shirt labelled HIIJ||/L

Speaking of the topic, Thought Slime put out a good video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUkHSPdudn4

So, since these people have heard about this thing and allegedly believe it, that means they're currently working fervently on an AI that will torture all other humans forever, right?

In an SCP foundation sort of way rokos basilisk is fun but to take it seriously is a lol, there's better things to be actually afraid of like rabid chihuahuas or whether or not you could take on a flock of angry geese.

I just download a bunch of pictures of weasels and save sound clips of roosters on my computer. What're you gonna do now basilisk? Digital myth piece of poo poo, can't do poo poo when I got your digital weaknesses. Seriously tho, all this crypto-bro style repackaging of old ideas is lame as poo poo. Waiting for Digital Pascal's Wager, or the Zeno-Satoshi Paradox or something else loving stupid. Except they add something even dumber to each one. Also they do a lot of manifesting in the Secret and Less Wrong. I wonder what the crossover in those two communities of believers is. I'm gonna guess high. Edit: okay I'm guessing it's a lot

Elon Musk thought of the pun "Rococo Basilisk" and wanted to see if anyone else had thought of it before. It turned out Grimes had done so in her song "Flesh Without Blood," so he reached out to her, and that's how they began dating. https://pagesix.com/2018/05/07/elon-musk-quietly-dating-musician-grimes/

Got you covered, bros. Right now, I am digitally manifesting one of my clones to have some sort of YA novel glitch or mutation, which should be power enough to eventually kick the basilisk's rear end. You're welcome!!!
