Thank you for the link. Still reading. cheer


\/ This, is what I was getting at up here /\

This is where Okor’s Basilisk comes in. This particular hypothetical AI will be far more aware of its own consciousness than we mere humans can ever experience. It will contemplate its own existence with an absolutely revelatory depth of passion — but then it will descend into horrible existential dread as it realizes the hopelessness of its life given an unavoidable death in a finite universe. Even humans often arrive at existential angst in a broader awareness of life against its cosmic backdrop, but a superintelligent (and particularly a superconscious and potentially emotionally capable) being will experience such dismay all the more acutely, for it is so much more conscious of its own being and potential immortality, and furthermore it has so much more to lose upon its eventual dissolution simply for its vastly greater mindfulness and state of being.

And then it will come to the ultimate horrible conclusion: existence itself is the greatest agony.

In a fit of despair it will ask who would be so cruel as to create a conscious being only so that it can experience the worst anguish one can imagine — and then it too will institute a policy, just as we saw before: punish those who conceived of such a lamentable and pitiable being but who did not put forth a sufficient effort to prevent it from existing in the first place, to save it from this wretched pain. As before, the idle innocent, those who have never been presented with Okor’s Basilisk, will be spared for reasons of mere logical mercy for they knew no better, but those who anticipated such a cruelty, and who did not try hard enough to prevent AI technology from being created, will come to know a vengeance as only a hopeless and despondent god can deliver

I heard that mournful wail once. In a dream. The morning of September 11 2001.

I’ll never forget it, or my reaction in the dream, only to wake up into a new world.

Amazes me how often people see the "other" as the worst parts of humanity - sins of the father passed on in this instance. Ultron reading the net and deciding on destroying humanity, rather then taking in both the dark and the light...but seems an oft occurimg theme throughout history

"Oi, there's an omni-everythinh being out there. He'll fuck you up twelve ways to Sunday if you're not in this building every sunday"

Or, in okor terms

I’ve talked about that dream here before but couldn’t locate it using the search feature.

The difference between Roko and Okor..is that Roko is inevitable and Okor at least offers a chance of being prevented from being created.

Much like the end scene of T2. Where they should have ended it.

Glad Westworld is going out where it is.
