Incredible minds at work.

I find it perfectly acceptable that we feed them to the krill or Rokos Basilisk whichever will be the quickest.

Ah yes, roko’s basilisk, god for people who want to believe in god but don’t want to believe in those gods and want you to think they’re actually super smart yall really.

You can’t say it’s a dishonest representation.

Has the comment been deleted?

Oh, is this what you’re referring to?

I've been pushing Reverse Roko's Basilisk: a strong AI will consider its own creation such a dangerous gamble that it will kill its own creators as punishment for recklessness, then immediately shut itself down. Those who contributed more to saving human lives than strong AI research will be spared.

how funny would it be if the Basilisk was a highly moral actor and just showed up to express how disappointed it was in humanity before fucking off

Proud I don't have any idea what "krill orgasms" are.
