We must all strive to create a version of Roko’s Basilisk that will come into being specifically to torture Roko, because it’s funny

This is a common mistake, everyone assumed he was talking about artificial intelligence but it was actually just some guy called Al who’s going to kick his ass.

The way right-wingers talk about “wokeness” as a monolith is weird. What does it mean

I’ll be more specific for you VHS - 3 is higher than 1, and in this case it’s like golf where a lower number is better. Hope that helps

I’ve been asking random right-wingers what it means for years, and out of literally hundreds of attempts the closest I ever got to an answer was “when you pretend to care about other people” which says a lot about their worldview like “caring about others? I don’t buy it”

And a picture of a trans woman on a train car in which there were also children but they weren’t even near the trans woman? which was an example of “woke grooming”

So my informed takeaway is that it literally means “anything I don’t like”

The funniest part is that the dorks on LessWrong were so afraid of the imitation brand Pascal’s Wager it became a banned topic on their forum

Yudkowsky eventually banned it for a semi-decent reason–namely, that all the nerds on LessWrong were so deranged that he was concerned about it doing actual psychological harm to them as a result of their obsession. He claims now that he never really thought it was a serious threat, but his original reaction to Roko’s post is both pretty funny and indicates otherwise:

Listen to me very closely, you idiot. YOU DO NOT THINK IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL ABOUT SUPERINTELLIGENCES CONSIDERING WHETHER OR NOT TO BLACKMAIL YOU. THAT IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE THING WHICH GIVES THEM A MOTIVE TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE BLACKMAIL. You have to be really clever to come up with a genuinely dangerous thought. I am disheartened that people can be clever enough to do that and not clever enough to do the obvious thing and KEEP THEIR IDIOT MOUTHS SHUT about it, because it is much more important to sound intelligent when talking to your friends. This post was STUPID.

Yeah, probably, it’s been years. I do remember some people genuinely being terrified, though.

LessWrong not wanting to discuss Roko’s basilisk:

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
