Crudely drawn drawing of a person telling a computer "say 'i am in pain'". The computer replies with "> I AM IN PAIN". The person then says "oh my god."

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Eh, fuck Roko's basilisk. I don't care if you can somehow create a clone of me 10,000 years after I'm dead and dust. I'm not a computer program. A copy of me is not indistinguishable from me, certainly not one separated in time. I am a human mind in a specific human body, and I do not believe a copy of me long after I am dead is me. If some malevolent entity long after I'm dust wants to create a copy of me to torture, as far as I'm concerned, they're just creating an entirely new person to punish for no good reason. If they want to do that, well...that sin is on them. Honestly, I think any such entity is just looking for an excuse to torture people, and it will find one, one way or another.
Bro thw whole thing is fucking stupid anyways its like the digital equivalent of bloody mary
I think the people who invented this story just wanted to torture people, like whoever invented "the game". It's modern superstition.
