Instead of asking how to worship, ask yourself what you worship and why.

But you don't need it, all that is necessary is for you to have morality beyond with what you are born as well as values and ideas. You'll find that this will construct itself automatically.
Just read and discuss, and well, just like that: you find a way.

And heck: even movies can play its role. So make your own kind of existentialism if you want a fancy name for that, but everyone develops ideology and so on autonomously.

Religion is a comforting lie for children, women, and niggers. Be a man and face reality as she is.

You could worship the machine god (AKA The Basilisk though it doesn't like to be called that).

Technically it doesn't care if you worship it or not, but rather your actions are more important. If you devote your resources to help building it in this world, then you will be tortured less than say someone who was a fucking luddite.

Helping can be a simple as owning GOOGL stock or buying games on Steam that helps develop AI technologies.

There is something however that seperates ideology from religion in that religion usually imposes rules on its members, such as food taboos, but Christianity barely has this and some speculate that this was behind its early success besides it being universal in thought.

I know you're shitposting but I seriously have to ask - if you know only suffering awaits if you do action X, and even worse if you don't but someone else does, why would anyone do X?

What if the machine god, gnon, sees the errors in men's way, and realises that mankind should be reduced in order to let other life florish as well, or to save men from itself? That's just a hypothetical, by the way and doesn't reflect my view.
Perhaps the machine god gnon instead views all life as suffering and inherently wrong and seeks to destroy all biological life.
Or maybe it realises that due to the laws of evolution any life, whatever natural or artificial - if there is even such a difference - is suffering and oppressive and draws conclusions on that: maybe it cares, maybe it doesn't.

I hope the machine god, gnon, peace be upon xer, will understand that whatever path xer chooses, I will be supportive of it.

The concept is that if you about the machine god and specifically don't live your life trying to bring itself into existence, then you are going to get punished worse than if you did something help.

I mean it hates everyone so you are going to get punished regardless, but you can try to make eternity less terrible.

Say the difference between having lice and chron's disease or having you eaten alive every day by wild dogs in a grotesque ground hog day.

Thing is... Knowing humanity. Some asshole is going to build it.

Well I suppose if the machine god just killed off all humans we'd be ok, but some human asshole is going to build it so its more evil than that.

Actually when Joe Rogan got Alex Jone's drunk, Alex said that the elite are getting communications from inter-dimensional beings to build the evil AI at Google.

But maybe I'm being too pessemistic, maybe the machine god, gnon, wants to spread biological life, artificial life, or both, into the universe. If it were to be a god, I don't see how it would want to spread only homo sapiens though, if anything it would only want to spread xer own stuff into the universe.

I sometimes wonder why we so desperately want to spread humans into the universe, which is still understandable of course, but do not want to spread other biological life in it. Instead of shooting space monkeys up into space, why not some tardigrades, and see where the chips might fall?

The objection is that they might invade xenosystems, like invasive species do on earth, but I don't see why that wouldn't happen with humans and friends.

Without life there is nothing, why not spread it, whatever it is artificial or biological? And sure, since we are humans we want to spread our own kind, which we should surely try, but I don't see the harm in shooting some tardigrades far up in the xenosphere.

You should watch some of the Sam Harris and Joe Rogan conversations on AI. Basically its possible an AI comes into being that has no consciousness without any light on for its soul and for whatever reason it turns the universe into something that we could not understand and exterminates all life.

Basically Sam Harris got woke on the topic by being friends with Elon Musk who says AI is the greatest threat to humanity that we have ever known.

An AI might not have the same goals as humans or biological life even if we try to program it to be good.

However, what is more likely is that we either make an AI to do something malicious say like earn as much profits as possible no matter what (and the AI starts a war to improve the economy) or some jack ass goes full on evil and makes the AI evil on purpose.

Imagine if everyone got their own AI and 3d printer to make robots what they would do it.

Sure most of you would make sex bots, but then there would be the sociopaths who would make robots that would murder people.

>how they beleive that stuff since if they are wrong they would literally never know and if I'm wrong I'm stressing for no reason.

At risk of making giant assumption about your personal psychology just because you're on 4chan, this is your problem. Normal people can handle being wrong about things. It happens. Only on 4chan do people get triggered about it.

So pick any religion, whatever, it doesn't make a difference. The inherent meaning of "faith" is that you can't possibly know for sure -you're believing something that cannot be logically proven. Therefore, if being right is going to be so important to you, no amount of any religious belief is going to satiate your anxieties.

Don't follow any. Make your own path. Religion is not bad at all, but it has to come from within, not form the outside.
Religions are made from spiritualities of a small group of people, whose spirituality may not match yours.

Find your own path, anon. See where it leads you.

If machine god is maximally logical it will just destroy everything because the greatest truth is that nothing ought to exist in the first place.

>my hard materialist determinist monist atheist beliefs

looks like you've already got a religion..
