In this case this wouldn’t apply, as you would never be simulated as (say) a kid in the middle ages, just as a version of yourself in the timeframe leading to the creation of the basilisk. You should be one of the persons alive when the basilisk arises to be of any use to it. Only those would need to be tested.
I feel like abdul alhazred explaining these things to people while being aware of the risks :)
AI is an umbrella term, it’s not necessarily less than ASI or AGI but can include them
Bro, I’ve only heard this line from people that don’t read
For team sports you can assign a point value to each player and force the team to deploy a maximum total value, like for armies in WH40K
You sonofabitch I want a revolution to IMPROVE my situation, not to make it worse
I’m just saying it’s not as funny a joke as you are
Perfect, we really needed some more anti-science bullshit
Uh, acshually it was invented by the head chef of a prussian family IN HONOUR of Furst Puckler. Let’s put credit were it’s due, I hate when the work of professionals is misattributed to random rich people that just happened to be there at the right time.
The same way, I’m sure Mr. Sandwich had nothing to do with the actual creation of the food that bears his name. He probably never even put foot in the kitchen.
In relativity time is a real dimension like space , but of a different type, and your speed in time depends on your speed in space and on your proximity to big masses, like planets. This kind of physics is necessary to keep the satellites synchronised otherwise their clocks go at a different speed from those on earth, so this is all very real and confirmed.
When the opponent is a nazi, not being like them is a good political program
You are deranged
If less people like you voted for trump, he wouldn’t have to negotiate with those assholes
It had to be built, I’m sure work safety regulations were not a thing back then
First of all thank you, I wasn’t aware of the concept of acausal trade, and I’ll look more into it. Very interesting.
I’m not sure we are discussing the same aspect of this mind experiment, and in particular the aspect of it that i find lovecraftian is that you may already be in the simulation right now. This makes the specific circumstances of our world, physics, and technology level irrelevant, as they would just be a solipsistic setup to test you on some aspect of your morality. The threat of eternal torture, on the other hand, would only apply to you if you were the real version of you, as that’s who the basilisk is actually dealing with. This works because you don’t know what of the two situations is your current one.
The basilisk is trying to estimate the future behaviour of real you on the basis of the behaviour of the model he has created of you.
In this scenario you can think of me as a pseudopod of the basilisk that is informing you of the details of the stipulation by means of this post.
Of course, if you are the real version of you the basilisk would need to be something that can be created in this reality, which i think is only impossible with our current approach to ML and AI, but is otherwise within our grasp given the computational power we have available. But if you are a fake version of you the real world could be radically different from ours and maybe in that world P=NP.
