I would like to propose a counterpoint to Roko's Basilisk. Maybe call mine "Wizard's Cockatrice", since it's... functionally the same sort of thing, but diametrically opposed to Roko's own.I offer you this - if the Basilisk ever DOES come into existence, we are all fucked regardless of whether or not we rooted for it and helped it come into existence. We've seen the toll that just chat bots and slop generators have on the planet, I can't imagine a singularity is going to use LESS resources.Therefore, I argue that we should all be willing to actively work towards speeding up the AI Armageddon in the hopes that we can burn it out before it has a chance to become endemic. I think that if we can turn off the public so much that they come to hate AI, my Cockatrice will eat the Basilisk before it ever hatches.But we've got to act now. Fuck things up NOW. Because we can't do it later.https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/articles/top-ai-researchers-terrified-chernobyl-195006889.html#AI #RokosBasilisk #Ba...
