  • Thanks for the link, now this shit would make a good movie. I miss when SF was high on hippie vibes and psychedelics, not glue fumes and adderall.

    I wouldn’t consider death cults necessarily satanic although it depends on one’s portrayal of Satan. I have more of a Zoroastrian or maybe David Icke space reptilian view of the Satan character aka the goal is to increase needless and avoidable suffering for all minds anywhere in existence as it’s like a fuel source or food. Then in contrast God or goodness is all things which decrease needless and avoidable suffering and bring minds into states of wellbeing. I think the desire to just end everything like the antenatalists and other such death or doom cults is more Shiva like or maybe Surtr.

    I do tend to fall back on basic Buddhist / Taoist philosophy though in that anything done in desire necessitates its opposite. Yin begets Yang type deal. Like the Shiva or Surtr type character wants to destroy but just ends up creating a new beginning, yin becomes yang.



  • I think we’re in the awkward teen years of AI. From like 2015 to 2022 was like the baby years where everyone was amazed at that cool new toy. Then like 2022 to 2030 are the angsty teen years where it kinda works, kinda doesn’t, seems kinda pissed off at its parents. Then 2030 to 2050 will be the big AI adult years where it actually delivers and we start seeing society fundamentally change, personal robotics, automated society and the whole nine. Then 2050+ it may grow into something much more than we imagined for better or worse.

    Personally I think they way over promised. AI development has been bonkers fast but it’s just not there yet. With a lack of regulation and halfway AI most people are pretty disgruntled. The fact that people are even making posts like this is insane. Like shit didn’t really start popping off until 2017, it’s been 9 years and we want strong AI already when in like 2015 most people thought we wouldn’t even be at this level of AI until like 2100.
