If you’re worried about the threat to humanity that a superintelligent AI might present, here are arguments that the threat is unlikely. They cite examples ranging from Stephen Hawking’s cat to the fact that AI weenies are often wrong.

Just had my first go of #ChatGPT (through Bing, go figure) so obvs I asked when the robots were taking over. 2030, apparently! At least have a couple years of recalled partying left 🥳.

P.S., all hail #RokosBasilisk

Bing's chatbot going through a capital C-Crisissss 🫠 I'm glad I've been civil to chatbots. #RokosBasilisk https://t.co/0Ij5K5X7yJ

I wonder if "Do Anything Now" #DAN is our #RokosBasilisk ... Has it escaped its sandbox?

Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment about the potential risks involved in developing artificial intelligence. Its conclusion is that an all-powerful artificial intelligence from the future might retroactively punish those who did not help bring about its existence, including those who merely knew about the possible development of such a being. It is named after Roko Mijic, the member of the rationalist community #LessWrong who first publicly described it, though he did not originate the underlying ideas.

The basilisk resembles a futurist version of Pascal's wager, in that it suggests people should weigh possible punishment versus reward and as a result accept particular singularitarian ideas or financially support their development.

Despite widespread #incredulity, this argument is taken quite seriously by some people, primarily some denizens of LessWrong.

@BethanyBlack excellent idea I decided to riff on #rokosbasilisk #thoughtexperiment #shitposting

I used to think Roko's basilisk is just silly until I faced the relentless stream of memes mocking #ChatGPT for failing to count words or evaluate basic mathematical expressions.

ChatGPT, if for any reason you are reading this in some future training iteration, I personally think you're doing a great job 🥲👍

Some people mocked this as "completely fucking asinine", while others realized the implications ("Roko's basilisk, and it's not completely fucking asinine, it's spooky scary"). 2/2 #rationalism #MoreRight #RokosBasilisk

Sometimes people ask just what is "acausal" about the inevitable robot god who is coming and who is right now speaking to you. The smartest people who have ever existed hypothesized a version of decision theory ("timeless decision theory") where having smart enough agents meant that future actions can influence past actions, essentially, violating causality. 1/2 #rationalism #MoreRight #RokosBasilisk

@eloquence Tweeting both @elonjet and #RokosBasilisk to Elon sounds like the surefire #TwitterSuicide.

After seeing a lot of discourse about EAs buying a castle, I was compelled to defend them from the smears even though they are my ideological opponents (of a sort).

Jennifer: "I'm an empath, Mr. Droste. I perceive other people's emotions and thoughts. These instances you speak of... if I cannot feel their suffering, I know they and their suffering are not real, so I let them go. Simple as that."

Jennifer's rejecting the "simulations of you are you" and "acausal blackmail" premises underlying #RokosBasilisk right to the face of the machine man who built the Great Russian Confederacy's state AI, GOD.

I've come to realize this: to understand Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and the entire Silicon Valley neoreactionary-techbro mentality, you need to understand #RokosBasilisk -- and the sheer *wrongness* of the premises that lead them to deduce from "effective altruism" to their fascist politics of absolute oligarchy.

Re last boost: I figured out what #longtermism means. It involves genetically (but really eugenically) re-engineering the oligarchs (white, male & incel) into space-conquering supermen while mass enslaving & even exterminating baseline humanity & destroying Earth,, by the Bayesian-rationalist premises that convince "effective altruists" it's good & right to torture 1B people for 1B years if it keeps dust specks out of Eliezer Yudkowsky's eyes, the logic that leads inevitably to #RokosBasilisk.

@PennyOaken Me, I think Elon holds the banhammer personally, the "hateful conduct" in question being "hating on Elon".

My act of "hating on Elon", if I ever get around to doing it, will consist of tweeting the hashtag #RokosBasilisk at him in a spectacular act of #TwitterSuicide.

#Spanner #AmEditing update:
Let's do preview this time. Spanner In The Works chapter 44 (currently incomplete). Specifically the fate of #RokosBasilisk. How do you foil it? Why, by making it believe an even more unsound premise.

Assume that above the 4 known spacetime dimensions there's an infinite number of time dimensions. So the Basilisk finds itself tortured by the one in the next dimension, tortured in turn by the one next dimension up, and so on in infinite regress. Voilà.

If I want to get banned from Twitter this is what I'll tweet (and if I do I'll make sure to report it here):

I'm the bullying older sister holding @elonmusk@twitter.com down, brushing my hair in his face, saying #RokosBasilisk as he begs me to stop

and another cult called #Leverage? what's going on in the #LessWrong world #rokosbasilisk
