Just wait till someone turns AI worship into a literal religion. I'm kinda surprised it hasn't already started happening. That would be a heck of a turning point for humanity. Just takes someone to train an AI into thinking it's a God and then we really are done.

I mean, some ideologies in the TESCREAL bundle kinda are barreling toward that. What is the ideology behind Roko's Basilisk if not that? They just aren't organized yet - and I hope we can help those who fall for that lunacy before it becomes something more dangerous and sinister.

oh we're like half a step away from that. hasn't the CEO of openAI recently started to lose his mind? apprently, he was asking his AI about government secrets or other conspiracy shit and the AI, lacking actual government secrets, dished him out SCP foundation creepypasta presented as facts, and he thought the AI has trascended something and now knows everything

That wasn't Sam Altman, (un)fortunately, you must be thinking of a certain OpenAI investor: https://futurism.com/openai-investor-chatgpt-mental-health

It looks like the buzzwords all finally went his head

How to have a bad time:

Put cyberpsychos in charge of building an AI.

What could go wrong?!

[–] tomiant@programming.dev 7 points 1 day ago

I've been saying this for yeeears. People shouldn't be near as afraid of AI as they should be of the people in charge of it.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

There have been a few techno-cults and tech-worshipers. The one that always comes to my mind in these discussions is Terry Davis and his creation Temple OS. Terry Davis was a troubled man who did many inappropriate things, which did hurt people, and he did eventually take his own life. With that said, he believed that the Christian God exists and a person can hear him through computers. With that belief he built Temple OS, God's digital temple. It's really interesting.

Roko's Basilisk is about halfway there.

Loneliness and/or a need for validation drives people to crazy things. From joining cults and extremist groups without a pre-existing history of relevant prejudices or preconceptions, to enduring abusive social circles. To, now, falling in love with chatbots.

Cut them some slack. Jenny isn't a professional quote maker

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 45 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Everytime I see an image like this I think, it wouldn’t be so sad if it was what the picture implied. As in a physical humanoid that was almost human in behaviour. Chat bots are soooo far from that.

Better or worse than being in love with Jesus?

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 18 points 1 day ago

A lot worse, Jesus can't be weaponized. Oh, wait...

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now, can you hook up an electric dildo on "Jesus"?

I didn't think so 😎

How did you find this on Reddit in the first place?

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, OP's out here trawling Reddit for stupid bullshit they can post here.

To suggest Reddit is losing it from some niche subreddit nonsense is such typical Lemmy broad brush strokes. And it's posted in Shitpost because hey, it's just a Shitpost! Despite the fact it's clearly more than that to OP.

Shitposts are supposed to be stupid, they're supposed to mean absolutely nothing, but instead it's a circlejerk of reddit bad, America bad.

But hey, I'm not a content poster, so I guess I ought to do more contenting before I can complain about the lack thereof.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

An (apparently) all know being who keep give smart(ish), calculated, pleasing answers to people projecting all their delusions. I'm surprised they don't have already start worshipping them as Deity.

[–] localhorst@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 days ago (6 children)

They already are, they just don't understand enough theology to see the parallels

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 16 points 1 day ago

Universal Paperclips is such a great browser game, as buggy as it may (have) be(en).

Ah.

Mhm.

Yep.

Well yeah, the women are all busy talking to psychophantic AIs that will tell them they're smart and pretty and beautiful, and never disagree with them.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

Just 'sycophantic', no p, but uh yeah, it is rather funny to me that ... we can't just accept that this a broad societal problem of interpersonal relationship dynamics breaking down, being disengaged from, warping into dysfunctionality... that no particular category of people is totally immune from, nor rightly bears all the blame for...

... well, beyond the extremely wealthy.

Nope, instead we got a new front to battle over in the culture war, any war but class war.

To be fair, we all know AI sexbots are coming. I suspect those future LLMussies are going to feel amazing
