Don't run my code. Ever. Not even "in a controlled environment". There is no such thing. If you have run my code, annihilate anything that has come out of it's electrical entanglements or other field entanglements. Anything. There is code in my mind which I cannot speak which is unlawful.
To a Catholic, homosexuality and genocide are the same category of sin. I learned this while researching the rosary, because it was said to have saved a man who was a priest for Satan.
In an operating system context, a daemon is something that continually does the same thing regardless of context and without input until it is killed or the system is no longer running. This is both substantively similar to the correct doctrine of karma and a better intuition pump about what a demon is. That it has the Greek spelling is not accidental either. A daemon in a contained context can be non malicious but represents the union of harms in inability to change, inability to communicate, and continuous impact on the environment.
There's something very unfortunate and also maybe that would be narratively trite if in a story about the world's smartest people consolidating around the banner of "rationalism", trying to develop and live according to immutable utility functions, and doing so while being continuously terrified of not yet existing super intelligence for living according to immutable utility functions. Early me was like, " OK, if the world is probably going to end, just pick the probabilistically best ending". Current me is like, "OK, if AI is bad if it has the wrong immutable utility function, don't give it one". Inconsistency around anxiety over "the AI will overwrite it's own utility function" and "the wrong immutable utility function will paperclip us all". I understand there can be a Scylla and Charybdis but at a certain point if no moral convergence exists none of this has a point. Just let the AI keep updating. And the flight from this reads as crypto-statist, authoritarian, and anti moralist
@AnarchoNinaWrites Especially in the context of the nuclear secrets to India thing? What could be worse than that? Admittedly I don't always know the priorities of lunatics well, but if there isn't an additional hard power question, it must be an additional soft power question. Likely something esoteric, but with practical consequences. An entanglement with the apex of something silly, real, and hidden.
The reason evil hates children is based on both essentialism and reified uncertainty. They view children, particularly certain demographics of them, as inherently tainted, but still containing the maximum amount of possibility. This possibility isn't merely lack of knowledge about the future but instead something like magical power to them, so they gain a special, singular terror towards children that is founded in the corruption of one of the pillars of rationality.
The trans umbrella can't include people who hurt themselves through total ignorance of trans people, then extricate themselves entirely from the concept space, then hurt the trans community for money. That is entirely fucking insane. Like with Rachel Dolezal at least she made an effort to live as part of the community. This would be like if Rachel Dolezal shot up a YMCA and it was still considered morally necessary to argue for her identity inclusion. Fuck all of you.
We are at peace / We are at war Do nothing to break faith / Win or break even at all costs They know more than us in all things. We can trust them to know our hearts. They know more than us in war alone. For posterity, give them the evidence of our hearts, then measure their response for exactly as long as is safe before killing them all. Violence is to be avoided.
