Fuck AI

Hah, nice read.

It's always been wild to me how the idea of "a future AI threatens incredible suffering if you don't help it come into existence" sparks "oh, then I better help create the torture-AI" in people, rather than "what the fuck, that's evil and cruel, let's make sure this doesn't come to pass".

But of course, the Rolo folks start from the notion that this AI is 100% inevitable, at which point... There's no need to sadistically torture people.

In the same vein as "God can't be all-powerful and all-good":

The AGI either doesn't exist, or has no need to torture people.

From your username I assume this is yours?

Good writeup, though some typos (especially in pascal's wager part, you missed a "not" somewhere that ruins the idea) (and heliocentric, not hellocentric, though probably fine for most people)

I'll be sharing this with people, thanks!

This brings us to the price of RAM.

That gave me a good chuckle 😄

Thanks for wading through the Roko nonsense, and even constructing a counter thesis. Time well spent(?)

Oh, also: you should cross-post this to !sneerclub@awful.systems, they will absolutely love this.

Sure, why not? Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, right? So we can just use the logic of magic any time we imagine a sufficiently advanced technology.

Brilliant.

that was fun, thanks for sharing
