Someone I was following on TikTok, whose takes on tech industry bullshit and specifically AI hype I respected, made a video that Roko’s basilisk is a serious concern. My apologies to those who have been in this same situation when I was less sympathetic.

    Are you saying that someone recording themselves and posting on TikTok was a…gasp… Moron? I cannot believe this. Just no.

            nah we just don’t understand sneerclub. what we need is some random jackass whose post history is 2000 of the laziest posts I’ve ever fucking seen to come here and read the name of the community at us

            and for those playing the awful.systems drinking game, that’s a shot

              the Sneerclub, Whatever That Is:

              sip or quaff as desired, while rereading that illustrious comment and staring in wonder that it was actually posted

                I’d advise that the SneerClub is actually a negroni with extra-proof (70-90% alcohol) rum replacing the Campari, which is instead drizzled from the bottom of a nearly empty bottle over the top. And it’s taken like a shot, beginning when you log on and continuing at your own pace until either you pass out or the internet does.

                  that’s the OG Sneerclub, this is the variant Whatever That Is - you find it in the kinds of holiday resorts that you learn about from in-flight magazines on cattle class LON-NYC runs

      I mean, I agree with the sentiment behind the sarcasm, but also feel the same way about the internet in general. Sometimes it’s learning the same lesson in a new context. But Roko’s basilisk though? Quite a cliff.
