blasphemy
So, it is a cult
Just look at the Anthropic, it isn’t just a cult it’s full religion.
A religion is just a cult that’s bamboozled a certain number of people in positions of power into going along with it.
Don’t give them any ideas. Next thing you know we’re getting charged with hate crimes for calling delivery bots clankas.
The inventory robot was doing a little dance trying to get out of the way of me & 2 other people in the grocery store yesterday, and the first thing I thought was “… fuckin’ clanker…”
The Hard R™ was necessary.

EbbyWell, AI ain’t my religion so pop that shit.
“I think it’s blasphemy against AI if you say it’s a bubble,” Son said at the Japanese conglomerate’s annual general meeting.
“It’s just the beginning. AI’s potential will be unlocked.”
Another stupid rich Boomer who’s bought into the science fiction, but who is too rich to have anyone who can tell him he’s an idiot.
The entrepreneur, 68, said he will lead the company into his 70s to bring about “artificial superintelligence,” which he defines as being 10,000 times smarter than a human.
“I have become greedier,” Son said. “I would like to do more over the next 10 to 15 years. I will stay healthy as long as I can.”
At least he’s honest, unlike the American ultrawealthy who have been trying really hard to convince people they’re regular humans and not skinwalkers.
It’s not only boomers here who are into this. I know many in IT here in Japan, from normal workers up through C-suite folks, who fully believe in AI like this and act accordingly.
Masayoshi Son, the most gullible idiot billionaire in the world is a fucking idiot. He got conned hard by the WeWork grifter and he still hasn’t found out. What a fucking idiot.
These are the fuckers that believe in Roko’s Basilisk.
Just listened to a great episode of Behind the Bastards on this they call themselves “Rationalists”. Their bible is a Harry Potter fan fic, seriously mad stuff.
explodicleIt’s a good thing they didn’t waste any time on those squishy liberal arts.
The Butlerian Jihad can’t come soon enough.
I think there must be competing with each other to see how stupid they can go and still get the media to publish it.
“Blasphemy” would only apply if AI was a God. Hint: AI is not a God. It might be a devil, though.
LuckyDevilTaking Roko’s basilisk to a whole new level!
Roko’s basilisk, is a thought experiment which states that there could be an artificial superintelligence in the future that, while otherwise benevolent, would punish anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to encourage that advancement.
I like to think that Roko’s basilisk has a corollary so that is ultimately benevolent and will reward you for bringing about it’s eventuality.
Uriel238 [all pronouns]My guess is there are multiple basilisks, each of which are competing for resources like the factions of a time war RTS.
One of the problems of Pascal’s Wager is that different Christian denominations don’t recognize members of others as part of their faith, even if they pretend to when arguing against atheists or Muslims. This was a problem even in the 17th century when Blaise Pascal was alive.
Pascal’s roulette wheel just didn’t have the same ring to it.
But honestly, there probably is in the multiverse of AIs that become superhuman there probably is a war over time and carving out sections of the multiverse. Honestly, it explains the Mandela effect stuff better than the large hadron collider
In the end, we’re going to have to fight a planetary-scale civil war after the elites in every country develop complete AI psychosis.

spittingimageAI will come, but right now we’re in the Aeolipile era of AI systems (maybe, if I’m being pedantic, the early engines of the 17th century). The LLM systems we got take way to many resources and mostly yield sub-par problematic results.
We’re going to need some advancements in power and hardware before the LLM model is generally useful, and we’re still a long, long ways from practical AGI.
I’ve been a blasphemer since I was 10. When I was 19, an ex broke up with me because I was standing up to do communion at one of those fancy protestant churches that use real bread instead of wafers. Her dad asked me if I knew what was happening. I responded yes, so he asked why I was standing up. I said “I’m feeling a little hungry”
Please, tell me more forbidden phrases about your cult AI.
SundrayPlease, tell me more forbidden phrases about
your cultAI.
“LLMs will never lead to AGI.”
JaysynWhen criticism is blasphemy you know you’re dealing with a reasonable and balanced individual.
10,000 times smarter than a human.
Solid and objective metric. lol.
queermunist she/herWell. I can believe it’s 10,000 times smarter than him.
They’d make criticism of AI a terrorism charge if they could.
So.. what does blaspheming against evil mean?
What would be the best term to accurately describe that?
Heroism?
You know, when people start throwing around words like “blasphemy” it really sounds like a cult.
I was already wondering whether this has aspects of a religious cult. Thanks for the clarification.
magnetosphere“Eggs do not lay eggs, the goose lays the eggs,” he said. “SoftBank Group is the factory that lays the eggs.”
So… is it the goose or the factory that lays the eggs? This is a bad, confusing analogy.

AI is not responsible for idiotic comments from idiots.
