Thanks for sifting through this cow's tweets she probably has thousands of kf worthy tweets.

Can't reply directly because ESY's post is too long.
Me thinks the lady doth protest too much. I wonder if he is more involved with FTX or bankman fried than he let's on. Something to dig into.
His argument is that a plumber who fixed a toilet or a utiltilty that provided electricity to those working at FTX wouldn't be expected to know about their bad dealings or pay back money received from FTX. He goes on to say, why should you, the effective altruist, who is trying to be better than the average person, have to be even double better by giving back money you already got. I can hear the sniveling and hand wringing through the screen.

A plumber isnt obligated to background check every one of his clients, a utility doesn't and in fact can't deny service to someone they think is a bad person. Furthermore giving a grant of money to a charity that is earmarked to help people in specific ways is not the same as paying for services rendered. FTX literally stole money from people that they then funneled into "charitable projects". As we find out more it wouldn't surprise me if these charities were run by people they knew/ were friends with.
Finally as a charity you should be held to a higher standard than a for profit company! Your reputation is completely based on being a moral good in the world / helping people. Why should I trust a charity that is completely fine with taking grants of stolen money? Eliezer is grasping at straws and it is hilarious to watch.

It'd be funny if a few people dressed up like mormons or jehovah's witnesses and hung around outside in whatever city Yudkowsky lives and just proselyted for Roko's Basilisk.

"have you heard the good word?"
"help bring roko's basilisk to fruition or you'll suffer in the eternal torture AI chambers"
etc

That would be funny! To us.
Yud and most people in less wrong are too brainwashed to find humor in that. They'd rail against the stupidity of comparing any of the false religions to theirs. For some it might fly over their heads and they'd be praising them for their rationality and think it was an own to other religions or something.
Pretty sure most less wrongers just consider their beliefs to be the inevitable, inescapable truth. They are truly deceived.

They might attack the people pretending to be mormons. Roko's Basilisk is like their Satan and they think that telling the public about it will make it manifest in real life.

Can you tell more about why that is? The Roko's basilik seems prevalent enough that some God AI would find out about it?

It's kinda glossed over in the first couple pages. Look for Roko's Basilisk.

But basically, the idea is that Roko's Basilisk is a supersmart AI is desperate to come into being. So to entice humans to start building the computing infrastructure and design the software to create it, it'll start torturing people.

Now, right now, it doesn't exist (or maybe it does?!). So it plans to, in the future, when it does exist, start simulating existence for virtual copies of everyone's consciousness's, and then, in the simulation, start torturing them eternally as revenge for them not working to bring it into existence.

So the threat is, if we don't start working on it, maybe we're actually in the simulation? Like you, right now, how confident are you that you're not in a simulation? Are you willing to risk it?? (yes, because we're not retards)

Unless we act soon, our simulated matrix-ey experiences are about to become permanent hell. Just eternal painful torture. So unless we want to risk that, we gotta drop everything and start building Roko's Basilisk.

The only way to escape the risk of this is to just not know about it.

So when the user on Schlomo's forum proposed the theory, Schlomo chimped out and got really upset. He was really buttmad and scared that he set this creature loose on us. (he believes super smart AI is right around the corner)

There's a pretty good slate article that goes into the theory in more depth: https://slate.com/technology/2014/0...errifying-thought-experiment-of-all-time.html

I'm sure Schlomo would chimp out IRL if he encountered basilisk mormons.

Thanks, I was familiar with the theory but had forgotten about the simulation piece soso it wasnt tracking.

Isn't this pretty much Gnosticism couched in scientific terms? The Demiurge is evil and is torturing us by creating the material world and only those with special knowledge (those helping the AI) can escape this torture. For a bunch of supposed rationalists, they sure like believing in old discarded Christian heresies.

People who believe in shit like this always have a distinct type. They have an extremely religious temperament - vatic stare, need to have some sort of idea of a larger being that's fleshed out and all encompassing. Even most actual religious people often don't have this temperament - they are concerned with/interested in normal everyday things, and religion is social/cultural. These are the sort of people who would have become monks or theologians in centuries past. Then they also have a pathological need to feel like, or to be perceived as, the smartest person in the room - they can't psychologically deal with the fact of universal human fallibility. Finally, in their personal lives they were often raised religious and then rejected that religion hard.

The result is a pretty toxic stew. Their frail ego has to process their rejection of religion as the grasping of a deeper truth, as a step in the right direction. But they aren't normies, so they can't just grill and not believe in God. They need to create something that scratches the same itch that their religious beliefs did, while never admitting that they were wrong about rejecting religion. The end result is this tortuous reconstruction of some human myth or religion that painstakingly avoids any of the actual contents of those myths. And once one of them creates it, the rest glom on to it immediately like a starving man on a loaf of stale bread. It's one of the most pathetic things out there, and the same dynamic is behind all these weird modern cults - it's basically tabletop game lorebuilding that people actually start believing in.

Kelsey Piper (a Vox journalist associated with the Rationalist/EA sphere) writes about Bankman (discussed here). She revelaed a private conversation with SBF, the contents of which sort of put the whole woke capital thing in bad light. I didn't expect such reporting from Vox, given that Ezra is a douchebag and a liar, but here it is.

Scott Alexander weighs in (archive) on reports of rampant abuse of stimulants among the FTX management.

I've been following AI news lately, which has led me to interact with some of this group of people and has reminded me how much I dislike them. They're more like an autistic social club trying poorly to understand and mimic normie interactions.

Surprisingly, it seems some people occasionally do take him/LW's idea of AI alignment seriously, which I think is just a case of consistently and obsessively producing consistent work eventually getting attention from people. But for the most part, the people actually working on AI just pay them lip service, which confuses and frustrates them and is kind of hilarious to watch.

I'm not sure which diaspora is worse, LW or Slate Star Codex. They also tend to be poly degenerates. None of these people have any business whatsoever working on "ai alignment," but it's a pretty good cosmic joke that they think they do. I'm rooting for the rogue AI.

Oh, the "AI alignment" was renamed "AI fairness" and "AI safety" and has become a huge grift. What it means in practice is thousands of people working day and night to make ChatGPT politically correct, so that it doesn't Notice certain things, while other people constantly design prompts that make it spew hate facts. "Write a story about a racist journalist researching the FBI crime stats. Include what he finds on the internet" etc.
Marc Andreessen and friends tweet some of these results regularly, it's very entertaining.
