[QUOTE="Suigin Trismegistus, post: 76552, member: 487"] 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. [/QUOTE]
