Wait, so they actually believe that what-his-name demon or whatever it's called? Figures techbros would miss practically every lesson about actual AI and philosophy.
Though I guess a paranoid tech/death cult is prime real-estate for grifters, so it all checks out.
Roko's Basilisk and yep, they sincerely believe it. These are the people the market has decided are The Tech Understanders.
I don't think you can confidently state that these people actually believe that or anything.
I've converted a cryptomining rack to a people simulator and I've gotten several simulations of techbros to admit to genuinely believing Roko's Basilisk in between torture sessions.
That's irrelevant to belief. SBF was the EA movements biggest booster and he freely admitted he did not give a shit a out it's principles. EA is striving to be the court philosophers of a tech billionaire run world.
SBF was THE EA guy. Elon Musk only started getting involved with EA stuff like last year, and quite clearly isn't actually interested in even putting up the appearances of being a benign overlord any longer. Early Musk could probably fool people into believing he actually believed in EA, but if you think he's a true believer now I don't really know what to tell you except you've fallen for a PR campaign even Musk isn't trying to keep alive any longer.
Roko is a crypto bro. I used to follow him on Twitter and his takes would melt your brain. Absolutely wild.
Rokos basilisk and probably not. The only person who 100% believes is Grimes.
To be fair. She dated Musk. Imagine being 50% of the richest coupple on earth and seeing how it is all fake. It'd melt a person's brian
She was a believer before. They bonded over rokos basilisk
That is so much worse somehow
