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.
“So wait, you mean you’re willing to condemn my mind clones to an eternity of suffering so you can get tiktok views?”
Bro believed the Nvidia hype and came out as a doomer lmao.
Are you saying that someone recording themselves and posting on TikTok was a…gasp… Moron? I cannot believe this. Just no.
None of this please
Yes how dare I be snarky in “Sneer Club”, whatever that is.
Be snarky with class, don’t be shitty
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:
- whisky tumbler
- 3 cubes of ice
- an unadvisably large amount of raspberry chocolate amarula poured in
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
But what if I have no class?
cultivate some! shouldn’t be too hard to learn, there’s plenty of examples here in the snark pit
all of your posts are like this huh
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.
