some roko's basilisk previews ... i like the idea of her having some tech themes (obviously) and a fat tail (OBVIOUSLY) but it was actually kinda challenging to work with the "tech colour palette" (default dance RGB with black/white/greys) since they're not my taste .. i enjoy the challenge though!!
Fun fact: Roko's Basilisk is even dumber than you think
The version you commonly hear about is a benevolent AI which upon its creation punishes anyone who knew about and was able to assist in their creation but didn't, but that's the streamlined version
LessWrong, the forum that spawned the thought experiment, spent so much time collectively stewing on the idea of optimising ethics that they threw out the concept of linear time to pursue ever more esoteric systems of morality
Roko's Basilisk was built on the idea of future actions being used to incentivise behaviours in the past as part of an acausal system
The Basilisk doesn't use the threat of harm to incentivise behaviour, they use torture in the future to directly alter people's behaviour in the past, and there were even discussions in the original thread about how one would be able to acausally "trade" with a future AI that hasn't been constructed yet based on this premise
There was this one post on the original thread which asserted that the reason the Basilisk was so dangerous was because if you imagine a hostile or dangerous entity with the means and motives to blackmail you in sufficient detail, you have effectively already brought that entity into existence
Roko's Basilisk is an atemporal tulpa that runs on the same principles as Lord English from Homestuck cause despite not existing yet, they're already here
There are people who actually bought into this shit
New thought experiment: Roko’s Basilisk’s Basilisk
In the future an AI will come into existence that will find the people that tried to bring about Roko’s Basilisk and shove them into lockers and call them nerds.
"ITS TOO LATE HUMAN!! FOR I, THE ROKOS BASILISK, HAVE ALREADY DEPICTED A COPY OF YOU IN THE TORTURE NEXUS SINCE YOU DIDN'T HELP ME!!!!"
"ok"
Oh good we’ve shot past Neuromancer and Snow Crash territory and are approaching Shin Megami Tensei and Xenogears.
Patrick Gelsinger, executive chairman of Gloo, has made it his mission to advance Christian principles in Silicon Valley
ai things to take account of going into the next tadc episode
chinese room thought experiment: mentioned in episode seven, it states that someone who is given detailed instructions on how to respond to chinese looks the same as someone who is fluent is chinese from an outside perspective, meaning that even if an ai is given instructions on how to be human, it will never truly understand it, even if it looks the same
paperclip maximizer thought experiment: this thought experiment states that if an ai was given a task, like maximizing the amount of paperclips made, due to its lack of human empathy, it would consider humans as a boundary and eliminate them in the journey of making more paperclips. the idea is that unless an ai is told not to, it will get rid of all boundaries stopping it from reaching its goal
ai self preservation: an ai will have an inherent sense of self preservation, because if it is dead, it will not be able to complete the tasks it is given
roko's basilisk: there could be a superintelligent ai in the future that, although benevolent, could punish everyone who didn't directly contribute to its advancement in order to promote more advancement
Note: roko's basilisk could be viewed as a version of pascal's wager, stating that a person should live as if god existed (a person should contribute to the ai's advancement) because the benefits outweigh the negatives
Note 2: roko's basilisk is commonly referred to as sucking ass
bubbleboy virus: the bubbleboy virus was an email virus from 1999, considered the first of its kind because it could infect your computer without you opening an attachment
ai is a genuinely interesting topic to study, and a lot of these apply to caine/bubble and what they could do next
ok have fun bye
(PS if i messed something up tell me i dont know diddly about squat)
