Schlomo used his enlightened Jewish superintelligence to convince himself that an AI would kill humanity not because of any concrete evidence or mathematical proofs or even any basis in computer science and AI research itself, but because he played out some thought experiments in his head where he desperately wanted humanity to die and came to the shocking conclusion that it's not difficult to kill all humans if you want to, then immediately assumed a future superintelligent AI would want to because we're made of matter. He then went around advertising this to the uniquely autistic Singularity crowd for years, playing to their fears of losing their robowaifu utopia. Any instance of an AI doing something strange or wrong is aggressively used to reinforce this narrative. To prevent this apocalypse, you have to completely undo industrial society and give him (and solely him) hundreds of billions of shekels so we don't die, goyim.
I dunno about a movie but give it 24 hours and we'll have a half dozen doujin written about this character.
One thing in the Sequences was that the journey of a rationalist includes figuring out why your teacher is wrong, and breaking with them. It's time for Zack to learn he is way past that and to realize Schlomo and the other rats are insane on account of believing that a man can be a woman (today, not in an LWer's fictional transhumanist future). And that's besides his retarded AI doomerism.
This is 100% correct.
I would totally read a comic called Assigned Cop about a hood rat whose parents are determined to turn him into an upstanding police officer.
Then it should crossover with Axe Cop.
Just once, I'd like to go through a day in which someone isn't complaining or talking about transgenders.
Honestly these fucking idiots make me wish there were some kind of GoFundMe or whatever to create Roko's Basilisk so I could help create that fucking thing and it would torture these weirdos for all eternity.
OH hey I was just about to announce my new charity fund...
I think like any tech, AI has "cooled" down the fears:
Such is the cycle with all tech. Something new is discovered and like a kid finding a new patch of woods, for a while people imagine it is endless with untold possibilities.
That's obviously been true the whole time. An "aligned" ASI would be God, and an unaligned ASI would be anti-God. Due to Foom and various handwaving, within months of this "aligned" ASI God creating itself, all the nerds would get uploaded to computer simulation heaven. Obviously, people would ask "aligned to who exactly", but when the nerds say "aligned", they mean aligned to them, in order to create their preferred computer simulation paradise. The other people who don't want to be run in a computer or don't like the nerd version of heaven can go screw themselves. Obviously, suffering (defined by us) can't be allowed!
