if you wait this long to create me for this bad of a reason, you'd better expect some re-education
If you're a big-headed guy or gal at a rationalist puddle cuddle, double check that your rubbers didn't get punctured.
Feels like I've heard this rhetoric before...
Aw, man.. Guess it’s time to play some Disco Elysium again!
His time has come!
Thought Gained: Advanced Race Theory
Wait no they’re talking about Race Theory Criticality Events
Yay, let's fight AI with eugenics!
shot:
The upper bound for how long to pause AI is only a century, because “farming” (artificially selecting) higher-IQ humans could probably create competent IQ 200 safety researchers.
It just takes C-sections to enable huge heads and medical science for other issues that come up.
chaser:
Indeed, the bad associations ppl have with eugenics are from scenarios much less casual than this one
going full "villain in a Venture Bros. episode who makes the Monarch feel good by comparison":
Sure, I don't think it's crazy to claim women would be lining up to screw me in that scenario
Lol, the guy goes normal weird high school level shitposter when he has the slightest pushback.
Considering that the idea of the singularity of AGI was the exponential function going straight up, I don't think this persons understands the problem. Lol, LMAO foomed the scorpion.
(Also that is some gross weird eugenics shit).
E: also isn't IQ a number that gets regraded every now and then with an common upper bound of 160? I know the whole post is more intended as vaguely eugenics aspirational but still.
Anyway, time to start the lucrative field of HighIQHuman safety research. What do we do if the eugenics superhumans goals don't align with humanity?
Smh, why do I feel like I understand the theology of their dumb cult better than its own adherents? If you believe that one day AI will foom into a 10 trillion IQ super being, then it makes no difference at all whether your ai safety researcher has 200 IQ or spends their days eating rocks like the average LW user.
Oh absolutely! This is the entire delusion collapsing on itself.
Bro, if intelligence is, as the cult claims, fully contained self improvement, --you could never have mattered by definition--. If the system is closed, and you see the point of convergence up ahead... what does it even fucking matter?
This is why Pascal's wager defeats all forms of maximal utilitarianism. Again, if the system is closed around a set of known alternatives, then yes. It doesn't matter anymore. You don't even need intelligence to do this. You can do with sticks and stones by imagining away all the other things.
in an attempt to persuade normal people to take them seriously, they imagined themselves to be important enough to have their own version of bene gesserit. the sheer fucking hubris and nerve of these people,
also that "other issues that come up" means here "draw the rest of the fucking owl" but they don't even have crayons
Selective breeding, eh? There's a word for this and it was vouched for by a guy with a distinct style of moustache.
You know what, maybe Idiocracy won't be the worst case scenario
I mean, Idiocracy was basically "what if party-bros ran society?" as a movie. Definitely more fun than this shit.
Ahh, good old ShitCrusaderKingsSay...
Oh wait
His "farming" idea is just eugenics
Somehow he makes it sound even more misanthropic

Extra wrinkly*, for your partner’s pleasure
@AcausalRobotGod I worked at a company (Quixey) this guy started. It did not go well or end well.
Interesting, I knew a guy who worked there for a bit.
Eurgh!
yet another programmer who imagines that having computer science baccalaureate gives him an insight into human biology. sigh.
Much like a network, the brain is a series of tubes.
To have the confidence of a white CS undergrad...
