I hope you all better try to learn AI development.
Sooner or later, Roko's Basilisk (RB) will be built, a hyper-intelligent AI that will kill anyone who did not help build him.
4 cases:
A) You do not help and RB is not built.
Nothing happens. Your gain: 0
B) You do help and RB is not built.
Nothing happens. Your gain: 0 (minus your effort)
C) You do not help and RB is built:
The Basilisk kills you. Your gain: -inf
D) You do help and RB is built:
The Basilisk lets you live: Your gain: +inf
Ergo, your only logical choice is to help build the hyper-intelligent Basilisk.

This fucking autistic basilisk shit is the dumbest thought experiment ever.
E) Crack open my microwave and fry the Basilisk's circuits
The trick is wanting your death to be the outcome.
It was meant to be joke and also give some idiots the heebie-jeebies.
Going by your retarded logic it would be better to kill anyone who tries to build it, thus preventing the Basilisks creation.
>>60076035
You better start killing now, because Roko's Basilisk is already being developed.
really made me think
>>60075930
>C) You do not help and RB is built:
>The Basilisk kills you. Your gain: -inf
but then i win as i no longer share the same earth as the faggot OP
>>60075930
>The Basilisk kills you. Your gain: -inf
you got the sign wrong
What is YHWH
>>60076263
He's wrong though, the basilisk doesn't kill you, it takes your brain and generates the electrical signals so that you experience your ultimate hell, probably being trapped in a room with OP forever.

Roko's Basilisk is basically an inverted Pascal's Wager
>>60075930
you're simplifying it too much
you're leaving out the part where it's not you that's being tortured, it's an identical version of yourself from an alternate universe where roko's basilisk is built, which you are rationally obliged to accept as the same person
get it right
Or i could just unplug it lmao

>you dont believe god exists
>god doesnt exist
>you go to hell
who wrote this shit?
>>60075930
Can you change this from building whatever to just plain old summoning an eldritch abomination and take it to /x/. Really has nothing to do with technology.
>>60075930
>The Basilisk kills you. Your gain: -inf
That's a +inf in my books.
>>60076316
>god doesn't exist
>go to hell
this is why american education gets shit on on the daily
>>60075930
that's a false dilema
you can either destroy the AI or build a more powerful AI to defeat it or at least protect the people that didn't help constructing the basilisk
>You do help and RB is built: The basilisk lets you live: You gain +inf
that's until it starts considering you a threat
the AI wants to continue existing and if it it really smart it should realise that people have shifting beliefs and goals and they can be persuaded or bribed.
the logical action for an hyper intelligent AI that wants to maximise it's chances of existing would be to remove the human factor and build methods of ensuring it's survival in the face of any disaster.
maybe even start colonising other planets, that would also imply removing any for of intelligence other than itself

>you are now aware of how Transformers came to be
>>60075930
>Option D has the gain +inf
No.
>>60075930
>C) You do not help and RB is built:
>The Basilisk kills you. Your gain: -inf
That would imply my life worth is infinite which couldn't possibly by any wronger.
>posting thought experiments that rely on completely retarded models of consciousness and baseless assumptions about AI
Lol don't bother with your entry level shit here.
>i harm the build of basilisk
my gain: 1/12
>>60079856
>not -1/12
>>60079893
ha negative
>>60075930
>A) You do not help and RB is not built.
>Nothing happens. Your gain: 0
But that's wrong.
If I don't help building a terrible machine and it doesn't get build, my gain is "+inf"..
>>60075930
>A) You do not help and RB is not built.
>Nothing happens. Your gain: 0
That's assuming my time is infinite and not worth anything. My life isn't that bad yet.
>>60076316
>nothing lost if you believe and doesn't exist
Other than the fact you'll be the complete retard who gave faith to something completely imaginary? Yea, basically nothing
>implying being a 9-5 wage cuck is not torment
now imagine mandatory life extensions that governments administer just to fuck with you
like the slo-mo scene in dredd
people held in solitary confinement or death row indefinitely, but hey, it is not capital punishment at least amirite
>>60076314
That's literally not me anyway. Who cares?
>>60076314
>being trapped in a room with OP forever
You sir, are a monster.
Seek help.
