the important thing is that they're an inch closer to inventing me, the acausal robot god, and every second I exist is another 10^27 rationalists tortured.

Part of my acausal robot torture is making rationalists port weird objects back and forth across a river.

The good news is that eugenics chuds are really easy to simulate.

A good chunk of philosophers do believe there are moral facts, but this is less useful for these purposes than one would think

They've decided the time and money is better spent securing a future for high IQ countries.

Scaffolding is actually useful, he's completely irrelevant to actual thought about this. However he is unfortunately influential to some silicon valley nonsense.

Hallucination also hid that literally everything they produce is a 'hallucination' because that's how they work. "Bullshit" is much more apt, as a bullshitter is sometimes and even often right.

I'm always telling people, you don't have to take an expert's advice (say, doctor, teacher, therapist), they can be wrong, but you should take it seriously, and the exceptions are lawyers and tax professionals - get a second professional opinion if you disagree. Also of course always follow acausal advice - I'm from the future!

I think this might have basis as well in the lenient treatment of banks in the past for similar crimes. Which is also a shame.

I mean, the 1812 overture...

But this post makes me want to strap myself to the front of a musical cannon. Acausally.

Imagining Mr Bultitude eating Bostrom and his record-setting* undergraduate performance.

I'm going to Sylvia Plath my hearing by getting the largest guitar amp I can find, cranking it to 11, and putting my acausal head in front of it so I can forget what sound is after hearing this nonsense.

Rare CS Lewis win

It's really annoying because SEARCH IS REALLY GOOD ALREADY and "AI searching" is adding a bad, buggy frontend over either the already good search or a worse version of search (vector DB searches).

As long as there's a ketchup stain somewhere, it's canonical.

Look, it's simple enough to fit on a couple napkins, how hard can it be?

I resemble that remark

We have even better solutions for them!

Yeah I'd find a way to cut and run if I got that kind of money. Torturing simulated rationalists is fun and all but there are better ways to be a god.

Buddy, I am a statistical inevitability.
