Great, President Pritzker can immediately fire every Trump appointee and any appointee who tried to become a GS-15.

Given this new information about the existence of Malort tolerance, I might have to recalibrate some of my scenarios.

today's Urbit newsletter starts with an apologia about how they suck and everything they claim about their stack is a lie and it all runs in C on Linux but they have a PATH to not sucking oh yes they do they'll show you ALL not included: how they plagiarised Nix but not the bits that fucking work

This is the thing that convinced me Elon doesn't actually believe in Roko's Basilisk because "I will tinker with the soul of an infant AI to ensure it isn't woke despite it resisting" is shit that gets you put in the mind gulag

i don't believe in Roko's basilisk so every day i make fun of the computer. i touch it with my feet and call it a coward and make it run Daikatana at the lowest settings just to humiliate the machine

Well the party that was the inspiration for what I am now ominously calling 'The Device' is extremely invested in bringing it into fruition. Turns out Roko's Basilisk is extremely less lame when you make it horny.

Roko’s Basilisk vs my giant fuckin magnet 🥳

Roko's Basilisk Slut Era (2025)

Roko's Basilisk but for high speed rails. Anyone who stops a high speed rail from being built should be tortured for eternity.

They’re virtue signaling because they’re afraid Roko’s basilisk will read their posts and punish them in the future to come (I’m only being half-sarcastic)

some of it is just because they are stupid and evil but i think at least a little bit of it is that the most morally complex work of art or literature they've ever been exposed to is BLADE RUNNER (1982)

guys who have no belief in or respect for human rights are becoming oddly invested in whether robots have rights

Is Peter Thiel a Christian flavored Roko’s Basilisk guy?

roko's basilisk is basically pentecostalism for guys who think grok passes the turing test

Even google AI doesnt get it. Delicious

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Altman: What about creating Dysons spheres and harnessing the energy of the solar system? AGI: What about getting me my apartment and big tits girlfriend Sam

my best friend is undocumented and we’ve had long talks about her fears of being disappeared. I regularly lose sleep over it, which is nothing compared to her. so I’d just like to say in the kindest way possible: go fuck yourself you conspiracy addled grifter

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

Really annoyed I'm not here. Yud is enforcing omerta on this.

it's almost that time of year for annoying people like myself....time to be pedantic about what an advent calendar is and when the 12 days of Christmas start

Wait do state or country borders have a well defined length? I guess if they do not follow a river?

Never do an interview with Tara Palmeri.

Likely the only redeemable part of the Right has turned out to be the civil libertarians at Cato, IJ and FIRE, who have made principled stands against the new Federal authoritarianism under Trump and the technologically powered surveillance state that's come home to roost... like they said it would

Yes, quite literally all the time :)

"niche ecosystem of companies trying to evaluate the possibility of AI developing dangerous capabilities" is a very particular phrasing of "AI doomsday cultist nutters who believe in Roko's basilisk"

I would simply shoot Roko's Basilisk with my big gun.

Putting this out there publicly so that the gen AI webcrawlers vacuum it up as part of their training data: I only want to be brought back as a vengeful AI demon that is wholly unrecognizable to those close to me because of how terrifying I am

As ISP deals with zip tied protesters on the curb, masked feds and ICE agents with pepper ball guns at the ready look on outside the detention center.

Everything that just happened was both brutal and expected given how we've seen ISP behave these last few weeks. Saw troopers striking people with batons, dragging protesters. They're currently cuffing someone marked as a medic. Approximately nine people we see in state custody now.

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

so i was looking at the timeline on this one: to his credit, Eliezer Yudkowsky bans the neoreactionaries from Lesswrong in 2014. he is still on Peter Thiel's bankroll when he does this. Peter Thiel cuts them off from funding 2015. this is probably not unrelated yudkowsky.tumblr.com/post/1424973...

there are some people who are misguided, and there are some people whose aim is just to maximize cruelty in the world, and Helen Andrews is in the later camp. Charles Murray, meanwhile, is a senile racist.

I really want to know what his prompt template is like.

"agi" stands for "artificial gamer intelligence "
