MODERATORS
 

The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning “a bunch of schizoposters” who believe “they've made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god,” highlighting a new type of chatbot-fueled delusion that started getting attention in early May.

At this rate we'll soon have a decentralized para-religious terrorist organization full of brainlets that got scared shitless after discovering Roko's Basilisk and are now doing the cyber lord's bidding in order to not get punished once AGI arrives

Imagine a boot SO mighty that if it exists it might crush you, so you need to lick it ahead of time so that someday if it does exist, it might not crush you.

What if it’s an infinitely mighty boot? Ya know what’d make it even more mighty? Existing. Therefore it already exists. Start licking!

I just did a theology!
