This is a tweet by Roko. Yes, that Roko.
I think its safe to say that if someone has .eth in their name you can ignore them
Anime avi is 30% communist, 70% fascist or pedo libertarian. .eth is 100% tech bro libertarian. Ukraine emoji is 100% insufferable liberal.
i've also seen ukraine emoji posters that came off notably more cryptofash than the usual lib. they're in the minority, but there are fascists who understand that the nazi accusations against Ukraine are correct and support them for that very reason.
In most cases. There's also militant Strasserite neo-nazis like Germany's III. Weg party or dyed-in-the-wool mussolini stans who support Ukraine, tho. The current leader of Italy's latest iteration of the fascist party, Fratelli d'Italia, is one of the latter. She's as nazi as it gets if you want to remain electable (which is nazi as fuck in today's Italy), but also 100% pro-Ukraine, although i don't know if that's due to her love for Azov, her disdain for Russians or strategic considerations towards the rest of the EU in case she becomes Italy's next PM.
Roko's Cockatrice: every person you've ever heard of on the internet, given enough time, will come back and reveal themselves to be a giant shit.
Rokos Basilisk is flawed as hell so I'm not surprised that he's this stupid tbh
I mean yes if his fame came from rationalwiki that was pretty much a guarantee. But he could've at least kept his mouth shut!
Roko's Catoblepas: Every person who owns property in Palo Alto will actively work towards bringing about complete fascism if they do not accidentally die from their favorite pastime of huffing their own farts.
its such a baby brained move to take some clips of women with internalized misogyny from 50 years ago to try and prove that thats women's natural state and feminism is some aberrant condition. Absolute no analysis or thought as to why that might be lol.
i literally never see them cite any feminist except the most inflammatory quotes from Dworkin. absolute peabrains.
same dude will also be against research for helping trans women give birth :very-smart:
its also just stupid. like, if feminism is truly an ideological force that is convincing everyone to be ugly sjws that dont have kids, that means over a long scale we'd be selecting for the absolute horniest motherfuckers because no one else is having kids. because in order for birth rates to actually decline to the point of the extinction of humanity, we're talking a long time. a time long enough that it would be enough to effect evolution
but of course we cant point out the obvious cause, capitalism. and also the obvious point that most women dont want to be treated as brood mares.
he doesn't consider it an ideology. that gives his argument too much credit. he considers it a "superintelligence," a literal motivated, thinking entity that operates independently of any one of its constituent parts. It's the philosophical equivalent of looking at a person-shaped tree and saying "hey whys that sexy lady pretending to be a tree?"
the dehumanized transgender feminist hivemind strikes against humanity once again :sicko-fem: :cyber-lenin:
Techbros "wow cool future" :awooga: Snowcrash
Futurologists "wow cool future" :awooga: Stepford Wives
Chuds really can't envision a future where people are varied
bugs are delicious smh. grilled locusts and grasshoppers taste like shrimp and big seafood doesnt want you to know
Roko is responsible for creating the relationship between Grimes and Elon Musk.

This "super-intelligence" stuff is frustrating, because it comes so very close to a real observation. It's seeing the forest without the trees. Information, encoded as narrative, exists within people. When that narrative - that story - exists in enough people, it produces a kind of emergent behavior. Stuff like cultures, nations, money, and religion. But it's not sentient, in the same way an anthill is (probably) not sentient. Oh, the ants definitely are -- in their own little ant way. And people are sentient. But the emergent behavior of the 'social organism'? It's complex, complicated, sure. But it isn't a mind. It exists between minds. Pratchett called it 'extelligence' - as opposed to intelligence.
All that is to say,
Roko invented Satan again. He can't grapple with the fact that living, breathing, rational, sentient people can reach different conclusions and think different thoughts than himself, so it has to be some sPoOkY "unfriendly superintelligence" that's actually the cause. 'Cus when it's Satan, you don't have to talk to other people. You don't have to do the uncomfortable work of having a discussion. No need to consider another's perspectives. You just call them satanic (or is it an 'anti-human egregore'...?) and wash your hands of all that unappealing work.Ohhhhhhhhh, I'm not trans, the globo homo supermind born out of Soviet bureaucracy and pain just wants me like this, a seemingly independent and nefarious entity hidden from our views but dependent on all minds including my own. Doesn't this just sound like avoiding hard real world issues with a paranoid delusion instead?
insane that this guy built a following by getting made fun of for being stupid. you want an "unfriendly superintelligence" just look at the internet.
Bottom of my heart, don't even look into it. You will waste so much time for absolutely nothing. It's genuinely not even worth understanding these people outside of knowing that this is the true fascist form
I have such sights to show you
(RationalWiki is lib shit but they're right in this case)
Note: there was some poster here whose head was thoroughly fucked with by this article for a while, do not recommend.
I debunked Rokos Basilisk so easily (and I'm an idiot) that I'm surprised anyone would fall for it
this is dumb af because its precondition is time travel and an infinitely expanding intelligence, and its indistinguishable from a religion
pretty much just humans continuing to use monke brain for things they cant understand
but of course i am merely serving the ai, you stupid ape :galaxy-brain:
uh huh cool whatever i dont care if hypothetical alternate reality machine me 50 billion years in the future is being tortured, completely separate person
also remember these same early 2000s dweebs talking about tech singularity happening checks watch now. turns out there are material limits to things, who would have thought
pretty silly. like im not even sure if i completely died, no brainwaves, and i was resurrected completely fine that i'd be the same person. pretty sure what makes you the same person is continuity of consciousness
but thats just theory of mind bullshit. next time i'm jesus i'll let you know how it felt
He created the trolley problem for guys that want to replace public transit with the blockchain.
Just a semi-popular writer in the Harry Potter fan-fiction community, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
im going to make this nerd in the sims and remove the pool ladder
