Not to mention replacing the creation of art with consumption of generated "content" (read: slop)
(Somehow, Orwell saw this coming. One might expect this to be something out of Brave New World, but no, it's 1984.)
Could you not make it sound so awesome?
But also replace Artificial God with hallucinating chatbot and now it sounds dumb again
It might only be a hallucinating chat bot, but building an AI god is literally what the tech billionaires want to do. Some of them think AI should replace humanity. Not saying they will be successful.
It's still stupid as a goal, like even if they succeed and create AM there's still a pretty good chance it'll fucking hate them in particular. Though I doubt we even have the tech to create an AI without wetwork computing and at that point it's just what already exists but we made the brain in a lab.
Sounds very Warhammer-ish
If you've watched WestWorld you know we are in for a good time.
God? Even calling it consciousness would be a huge stretch.
Does a god need to have consciousness? I don't believe that is a requirement and what an unsettling thought that it.
I thought it said goo.
There are absolutely cults that worship AI as a prophet and a savior.
Isnt this the Plot of Fear and hunger 2?
Well that or double evil nietzschean jesus. It is kind of a clownshow out here these days...
TempleOS reference!!!!
It's the only way to worship God. There are a few games and it even has a compiler!
My bible
Remember
Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
Was that from Dune?
Yep, from a revered mother
Sounds like some good weird shit for an anime... maybe some surreal Fate spin-off
A new god? In this economy?
I don’t even like the old god.
What's the pay?
I was thinking this lmao.
Guess i should finally watch that. I've been putting it off but it's been referenced a lot recently and seems like it might be relevant
Serial Experiments is the only anime that I have ever watched but it was 100% a mindfuck in such a good way but also in a bad way. It left me feeling very uncomfortable, and this was in like 2000.
I still question what the fuck that alien scene was.
That's endorsement enough for me
whats it called?
Serial Experiments Lain
Fair warning: It is about... everything.
I think that's giving it too much credit.
No there's a literal cult that believes if you don't pour all your money and effort into creating an AI overlord then once it's created it will torture everyone that didn't help create it. This is the explicit reason why many silicon valley douches like Peter Thiel are spending all their effort on making AI. It's as batshit stupid as it sounds.
I was actually wondering the other day why we don't have any AI cults yet. Good to see humans being predictable as always.
I prefer to just straight up clone a brain, which I'm actively waiting to be able to afford to do. Going to start with Larval zebra fish, see if tuning the virtual cells to be more like human ones will do anything, if it's a success, just let it loose at like x1000 emulation speed.
fair (ab)use time commence
Our new God is a narcissistic, selfish psychopath. So... just like the last one. And the ones before him. And the ones before those. And...
As it was foretold.
