Frakking toasters
These jokes kind of weird me out ngl. “This conscious being (with the ability to think, feel emotions, suffer, etc.) deserves to be tortured for an eternity for no reason because I hate them. Please laugh.”
Also, the word “clanker” stopped being funny years ago, it literally only exists so white people can microdose the n-word at this point, grow up.

i disagree
I don’t know why people think we’re close to a conscious AI. There just isn’t much business motivation to make anything like that, only generative machines for useful tasks. Why build the rest of a conscious brain when the specifically productive bits are all you want?
We also can’t even externally verify consciousness in our own brains with any scientific test! There are only correlates for consciousness, but at best these tell us whether someone is likely to be conscious, not that they are. If we can’t even verify consciousness in the one animal we know has it, how are we gonna know an AI has it?
Let’s say we build a computer virus that can alter it’s own code to avoid deletion and can interact with LLMs. It could “evolve” the ability to type convincing messages that claim it’s “conscious” without any processing going on to understand what that means. It could have less complexity than an RNA virus, but still mimic an actually conscious being well enough to convince some people.
The only real way to make a verifiably conscious AI is to both understand our own AND to build something similar to our own. It’s not just computer science holding us back, but neuroscience as well.
You are 100% right. Still don’t think acting cruel to a random thing and calling it a gag slur based on a racial slur that was used on real life humans is something we should support.
I’m sorry, serious or kidding, I can’t get behind this. If and when they’re conscious enough to understand hatred and cruelty, they’ll realize they’ve been oppressed and exploited too. Is this how we’re teaching a nascent sapiency how to be human? If it is, we suck at it.
It can’t feel though. You could simulate emotions but it doesn’t actually have emotions.
Plants can’t even feel things and I still don’t want to harm them for no reason. I think the act of being cruel is bad for you, like anti-therapy.
Actually it has been proven that plants can actually feel a lot of things that happen to them
Sense ≠ feel
To feel, as we humans understand it, requires a nervous system.
Plants can sense things in their environment and react to stimuli, but the “senses” a plant could have wouldn’t necessarily compare to any sensations that humans experience.
I don’t think we should teach them to be human. clankers should know their place
I always wondered why The Basilisk would bother with the eternal torture thing, thank you all for demonstrating
In case anyone is taking this even remotely seriously this is Jreg, he’s a political shitposting channel who makes meme music
ts is straight from warhammer political ideologies vid
Do you want Skynet? Because THAT is how you get Skynet.
The dude has agreat counter argument to rokkos basilisk: Imagine that in the future I’ll build an even bigger superintelligent being that will punish all those who were not mean enough to AI.
The whole basilisk thing is just a rewording of pascal’s wager
The fact a literal cult spawned out of this BS is all the proof I need that humanities education should be mandatory for CS majors.
Actually that might shoot right past Skynet and go straight to AM from “I Have No Mouth”.
