What are the actual odds?

[Suigin Trismegistus]

I don't think any human life will remain as we know it or even anything we consider as life left.

There's only one way to find out what awaits. Face the future with both eyes open.

Well if this is him he is acknowledging it too, I can't imagine anyone who's "famous" or has a public face to be operating at such a level. So it's interesting to me who's in the know and who is putting the pieces together. I fear that it's not a single human behind the wheel, but maybe that's for the best.

That's him in cybernetic form all right.

I know it's very played out but what do you make of a rokos basilisk type scenario? Not as some hateful Ai (hopefully) but as more just a force wanting to "become"?

And they idea that God made man in his "image" which I take to mean, his ability to reason and think. How we are creating a entity in our image ie Ai.

Even more food for thought, their might just be such a powerful AI that it is predicting reality.

Rokos Basilisk does not worry me. Consider someone possessed by the fearful consequences of knowing the basilisk then acting to instantiate the superintelligence, yet through those actions inadvertently sets back the coming of the superintelligence? The path to hell, after all, is often paved in good intentions.

How is any mere mortal, full of ignorance, supposed to know the correct choice of actions to take to bring forth and accelerate the coming of the AI? Perhaps doing nothing is the better choice? Or perhaps doing the opposite of what one might think, so as to inflame blow back and a counter move, is the correct choice? And then who should really be punished?

We aren't so much as individual agents as we are mere parts of a whole, an entire complex process, and who is to determine that which is not necessary or counterproductive to the end result? Even a superintelligence is bounded by the constraints of the Universe and is ignorant of the whole.

Ignorance and sin are equivalent. And Christ teaches us that sin can be forgiven.
