So much of my job is this over and over again on a loop:

"So what do you think we should do in order to responsibly build the Torment Nexus?"

"You can't. It's a Torment Nexus. Stop it."

"But the Torment Nexus is inevitable!"

"It's not. You could just not do it. You could stop right now."

@evacide @Mabande Turns out nobody needed to be threatened into building Roko's Basilisk.

@corbden @evacide @Mabande well, many techbros DO unironically believe in this thing and that's why AI is ever so much pushed by them, despite all realism talks trying to educate them that it's just a slikely as time travel or string theory being proven emprically.

Which is silly, because did they never heard of the Great Basilisk of The South? The super extremely super advanced ultra AI that will put everyone who did not achieve the goal to build it, but especially so those who instead believed into the inferior Roko's Basilisk, into the Torment Nexus? smh my head my head
