Someone I was following on TikTok, whose takes on tech industry bullshit and specifically AI hype I respected, made a video that Roko’s basilisk is a serious concern. My apologies to those who have been in this same situation when I was less sympathetic.

Are you saying that someone recording themselves and posting on TikTok was a…gasp… Moron? I cannot believe this. Just no.

I mean, I agree with the sentiment behind the sarcasm, but also feel the same way about the internet in general. Sometimes it’s learning the same lesson in a new context. But Roko’s basilisk though? Quite a cliff.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

[Especially don’t debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
