My attempts to come up with what this misogynistic creep would consider a “friendly superintelligence” keep resembling Elliot Rodger’s pre-shooting manifesto.

I also noticed the “.eth” crypto name drop. :agony-4horsemen:

    Honestly it’s just Pascal’s Wager for tech bros, if there’s a non-zero chance hell is real, you should repent. The punishment is being ‘resurrected’ as some form Boltzmann brain and then tortured for eternity. If that’s the case, who cares about some copy of their mind-state being fed false sensory data at some point in the future?

    It presupposes quantum immortality, which is the idea that consciousness would be continuous if a perfect copy of your latest brain configuration is created, leaving no gap in-between Death and Resurrection, which is a long shot to put it mildly.

      Sounds like a creepypasta. There’s so much stuff being assumed and speculated with no further explanation than “just imagine”, I don’t understand how anyone could take it seriously.
