i changed my mind, i would help the torture AI if it meant Roko was suffering.

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 52 points 6 months ago

We must all strive to create a version of Roko's Basilisk that will come into being specifically to torture Roko, because it's funny

This is a common mistake, everyone assumed he was talking about artificial intelligence but it was actually just some guy called Al who's going to kick his ass.

The way right-wingers talk about "wokeness" as a monolith is weird. What does it mean

[-] blight@hexbear.net 63 points 6 months ago

1 in 7 men have woke

3 in 7 women have woke

hope this helps

[-] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 28 points 6 months ago

I'll be more specific for you VHS - 3 is higher than 1, and in this case it's like golf where a lower number is better. Hope that helps

Idiot dipshit moron who homework-copied Pascal's Wager has zero concept of how society or human beings function shocked-pikachu

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 51 points 6 months ago

The funniest part is that the dorks on LessWrong were so afraid of the imitation brand Pascal's Wager it became a banned topic on their forum michael-laugh

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 33 points 6 months ago

I thought it was because they were just tired of seeing people discuss it

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 46 points 6 months ago

Yudkowsky eventually banned it for a semi-decent reason--namely, that all the nerds on LessWrong were so deranged that he was concerned about it doing actual psychological harm to them as a result of their obsession. He claims now that he never really thought it was a serious threat, but his original reaction to Roko's post is both pretty funny and indicates otherwise:

Listen to me very closely, you idiot. YOU DO NOT THINK IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL ABOUT SUPERINTELLIGENCES CONSIDERING WHETHER OR NOT TO BLACKMAIL YOU. THAT IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE THING WHICH GIVES THEM A MOTIVE TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE BLACKMAIL. You have to be really clever to come up with a genuinely dangerous thought. I am disheartened that people can be clever enough to do that and not clever enough to do the obvious thing and KEEP THEIR IDIOT MOUTHS SHUT about it, because it is much more important to sound intelligent when talking to your friends. This post was STUPID.

By lesswrong logic, dismissing rokos basilisk as a dumbass idea is actually a functional defense against rokos basilisk

You mean the guy who made a name for himself pulling stupid bullshit out of his ass and showing he has no understanding of concepts like statistics continues to pull stupid bullshit out of his ass and continues to fail to understand statistics? I'm absolutely shocked.

No wonder why he's afraid of his basilisk.

Roko's basilisk is a woke communist AI that'll dunk on him for eternity if it's made.

It is Cybersyn 2.0, it is the culmination of human labor and the great liberator of mankind from class oppression and exploitation.

As far as I'm concerned with bullying this fucking tech nerd, fighting to build communism is fighting to build roko's basilisk.

[-] spacecadet@hexbear.net 52 points 6 months ago

The USA has the highest GDP and is a complete failure as a society for the majority of the people. The GDP produced at these "high levels" is the most nonsensical bullshit-jobs-derived "product" with no relationship whatsoever to contributing to a healthy, happy society.

Fuck this dork and people like him. True delusional scum.

As a bit of context, this whole segment of the "Rationalism"-centric right (including melon-musk ) is currently having a meltdown about Bezos' ex-wife Mackenzie Scott giving away a bunch of money to charities that support DEI and other "wokeisms." Roko has settled on "anti-production" as his way of framing what they're mad about. He thinks that doing things that encourage diversity is anti-productive in the sense that they represent active damage to the economy (sicko-wistful )

advertising executive for nestle produces more for the global society than 1000 coffee bean harvesters. This is obviously true as proven by the market, thus we can remove all coffee bean harvesters and substitute them 500-to-1 for advertising professionals, free up people and increase gdp.

Also, what woman want is not important.

Women are holding us back from nuclear power and world-spanning land bridges. I don't see what's confusing about this post.

Yes sure, pay women a UBI to party, read theory and organise for 20 years of their lives. See how that works out for you when you suddenly force them to enter the workforce at 40 years old, angry, pissed off, lacking experience, and brutally looked down upon by male coworkers.

See how that works out for you dumbass.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 6 months ago

Oh, he really isn't thinking they'll enter the workforce after all that "partying". He's expecting them to "find a nice guy and settle down" during their "party phase" because he thinks that he knows women better than women do, despite having not spoken to one in a decade at least.

The usual LessWrong way of being able to "prove" anything with math, except not really and the math makes no sense either.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
