Roko declares that AI alignment is actually bad (https://twitter.com/RokoMijic/status/1627442178199891968?s=20)

This guy also said that it might be good to have the catholic church run society because it would suppress ideas he doesn’t like. Fuck this guy I can’t sneer about this I’m just genuinely mad. Stop acting like you don’t want a totalitarian regime you dipshit you’re just mad that it might not be run by nazis! Fuck off!

Actually, with the current pope, I have a feeling even the catholic church is too "woke" for him.
Aren't rationists generally into Sedevacantism?
> rationalist > Sedevacantism I like how this *sounds* like completely diametrically opposite stuff, but it's actually basically just "all that descends must converge" 101.
I get strong Calvinist vibes from some, but then, someone recently said that current tradcath posturing is just Calvinism with extra steps.
Of course. https://twitter.com/RokoMijic/status/1620520964021956608
I fucking knew it. These rats can instinctively smell any cool person with a kilometer long schlong, such as the pope, in order to avoid them.
>This is going to be a long crusade. Listen up! Those who have come to serve the unyielding word of almighty God, we have come together this night under the glow of the London inferno under the eyes of our Lord for one divine reason. >[Fuck the new pope!](https://youtu.be/OMDDb_XxwjA)

Someone linked me this twitter account and I hate-read it over my lunch break. This is the same Roko from the basilisk, in case you were wondering

Some really funny gems

The Wokes are deliberately holding back the biosingularity (I thought the singularity was bad? idk I’m not as smart as these super duper high-IQ guys)

unironically caring about skull measurements in the year 2023

Whatever the fuck this is (dude thinks he’s Aella but without the simps)

> (dude thinks he's Aella but without the simps) jesus fuck that thread
> Small labia looks more feminine. That is all. I'm trans and so know genitals don't equal gender or whatever but I gotta say. Lmao
Saying the quiet part out loud - by 'feminine' they mean 'infantile'.
Wait wasn't this guy's whole schtick all about rationality and logic? How do you go from that to whatever the hell this is? I mean, phrenology, and thinking the Catholic church should be in charge? Huh?
There is a kind of path via scholastic philosophy and Aristotle via Thomas Aquinas, but I'm not sure that's how Roko got there.
For the last one (a poll about what size labia 'males' prefer...) combining "don't care" and "medium" makes no sense. Either you don't care or you prefer medium. Those are two wholly distinct positions to occupy. What a tool.
Man, I didn’t realizing that whole thing was a direct quote. Yikes and a half.
Jesus Christ. I mean, the best thing this guy has going for him is literally his name. Which you have to admit is pretty good. But it was apparently all downhill since birth.

Never thought I’d be making the case for a browser extension that replaces every instance of “woke mind virus” with “basilisk.”

just like that extension that replaces "the cloud" with either "the butt" or "someone else's computer"

I wonder what the AI alignment people will say when they’ve successfully created an aligned AGI and it proves to them that the only way humanity will reach the stars is if we all go full eco-Communist to ensure we have a stable biological base to start from.

Hickey’s “AI vs SJW” joke was mere observation

See, the prospect of AI being used for mass surveillance actually is terrifying, but the fact that his takeaway is “oh no what if the woke police control us???” is some classic right-wing derangement. I’m more concerned about the actual police getting their hands on this shit.

“Aligned AI” is bad because it’s a LW/MIRI concept. But if it meant ultra-woke, I welcome it.

if you’ve watched Superstore, Roko is the Marcus of rationality

  1. Doesn’t sound like AI alignment? But,
  2. Of course he would oppose it, if anyone should be loyal to the imaginary Basilisk it’s him

You created an account just to say that? What is going on in your life
We're all coming for ya! [stereotypocal evil laughter plays as the camera pans out]
> Wokes are totalitarian and depraved because Disney made the little mermaid black or some other innocuous thing lmao
You say this like Roko isn't a vocal supporter of totalitarianism and censorship himself
Define wokeness. Provide examples.

That kind of tech if it were to exist would 100% be used to suppress labor organizing and whistleblowing more than anything else.
