Totally not a cult guys!
blasphemy
So, it is a cult
Just look at the Anthropic, it isn’t just a cult it’s full religion.
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.
A religion is just a cult that’s bamboozled a certain number of people in positions of power into going along with it.
This take - well it suddenly explains A LOT.

Even if the rest of it wasn’t (it sorta is), Masayoshi Son is clinically insane
Taking 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.
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
AI being folded into the american civic religion huh?
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.
WeWork was such a fun ride to watch, such a transparently silly company that made stupid money, it never made sense.
Hey let’s invent rentable office space.
But I’d already exists *get thrown out of window
Right? Softbank is a fucking joke
CEOs quoted 1, labor leaders quoted 0
Heretics and apostates united against that cult of the ‘line must go up’ bullshit
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.
The Butlerian Jihad can’t come soon enough.
The fuck did I just read?
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.
It’s a good thing they didn’t waste any time on those squishy liberal arts.
Someone is wearing on their golden goose.
He’s gonna be a bagholder, for sure.
But what if it it was real, it finally bursts and they lost large portions of their market capitalization or stock value.
He is just afraid the bubble could burst while he is still in.
AI 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.
