Robo-indulgences, sweet.
I remember reading short story by a Polish author (most probably in Fenix magazine which was published only until 2001) in which Polish scientist managed to build some new sort of computers that were connected to the spiritual realm. The main character was working in some sort of emergency service tasked with preventing the rapture. He had a special device that would automatically pray the rosary for him.
They also had a computer that was able to answer any question and was supposed to be infallible but when asked “are you God?” he would answer “yes” so everyone thought it wasn’t working correctly.
Ahead of his time…
Ah, but if AI have souls, then this is slavery and you’re going straight to hell for it.
Not if you write in the prompt that they have to enjoy it.
“It’s not slavery if they enjoy it” is certainly a take.
Well, if doing what you like is slavery than I think everyone is a slave. Which also is a take.
I sometimes enjoy my day job. But motherfuckers still have to pay me.
It certainly is a take. I’ll let you know if anyone has a take like that so you can dunk on them. Be sure to let them know that enjoyment has no bearing on slavery one way or the other, while you’re at it.
It looks like you know more about AI and slavery than I do. I thought that if you program AI to enjoy doing something it won’t be slavery because AI doesn’t have conflicting desires so you can’t really force it to do something. It doesn’t “want” to do or not to do anything. So as long as it enjoys an activity it’s all good. But to be honest the main source of my knowledge about AI psychology is The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and you probably have better, more reputable sources. This or you simply can’t tell when someone is joking.
Pretty sure the bibles cool with slavery
The bible lays out rules for both slavery and abortion. Truly a manual for life.
Yeah, “if you become a slave god must already hate you” is the consensus. So it’s ok to own slaves because you are just punishing people for god.
Over the past year, Anthropic has repeatedly flirted with the idea that its AI models could be conscious in some way. “Questions about potential internal experience, consciousness, moral status, and welfare are serious ones that we’re investigating as models become more sophisticated and capable,” … That same month, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”
Anthropic bans ‘abusive or cruel behavior’ toward Claude
Way ahead of you.
That’s the premise for land of the lustrous… Spoilers, sorry
500 per second? Weak!
while true; do echo "Our Father"; doneFaster implementation:
yes Our Father🥸
I showed this to my AI girlfriend and she told me its offensive youre not taking her sentience seriously.
That’s not what your AI girlfriend said when i chatted her up last night 😎
She’s open weights so I’m not sure it makes sense for me to be offended you did that
I made your girlfriend write Python scripts for my work.
That code gonna get declared sentient?
If not, you’ve wasted both electricity and your potential.
-74 pointsAll machines are imbued with the spirit of the Omnissiah, so that code has the highest level of sentience imaginable
Also electricity powering a blessed machine is never wasted, and potential that never existed cannot be squandered!
All my potential is electric
potential that never existed cannot be squandered!
Ooh, a self-burn, those are rare.
I can actually believe there are at least several, comically rich people, executing this sort of endeavor
Peter Thiel knows about the antichrist.
he met him in the mirror
I bet there’s a televangelist style mega church that offers this service.
We’re back to Indulgences, are we?
Trump has been talking about getting into heaven.
Yes, dicastery, this heretic here.
A zen sangha already ordained a chatbot, so I think that means that mantras will also work.
Medicine Buddha mantra x 900 per second = GigaChad meme level of health in about 45 minutes.
The Tibetans invented wind powered prayer wheels a long time ago, so it weirdly makes sense that Buddhists would rush to embrace this stuff too.
Maybe on the mystical side of Buddhism. On the philosophy side, it just looks like a waste of time. Heaven is that we make it right here on Earth, not some vague possibility in the afterlife that automating prayers or mantas will have any effect on.
Hell, from what I do understand about the mystical side of Buddhism, it’s mostly about reincarnation to keep trying until you reach a certain amount of enlightenment during your life (which comes from understanding, not repetition), at which point you do something else after you die. The Buddha had wisdom to share and shared it freely; he wasn’t running some miracles for praise scheme.
Paperclips? In this AI apocalypse? Get real
