look, i get it. if you thought someone invented general AI and you didn't wanna get I Have No Mouth'd, you'd do the same thing

that's the other thing, right. if you're a roko's basilisk kinda dingus, you're kinda incentivized to believe that any claimed invention of general AI to hedge your bets

i won't believe the ai is sentient until it posts "homestuck runner" or "roko's modern basilisk", the two primordial posts echoing around the collective unconscious
