“One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is not the same”
I wonder what happened to the video he promised to release about something something mental health/wil power/not drug usage. I forget the details, but it seemed a bit dubious while still interesting. Too bad he took it down
I was hoping for a mention of Roko’s Basilisk.
Roko’s basilisk is, if I understood correctly, an intelligent super computer that would kill anyone that tried halting it’s creation, or am I understanding it wrong ?
Sort of, the first line of that wiki page summarizes it a bit more accurately though:
Roko’s basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to incentivize said advancement.
It’s punishment not just for being an adversary but for not being an ally either. Also, like The Game (you just lost) you participate just by being aware of the concept.
So I am technically safe if anything I ever wrote or made end up in it’s training dataset.
