is this a reference to Roko’s Basilisk?

or is it something else? because i know about more than one basilisk from mythology …

there’s another story that goes like “the basilisk is a creature that is so intelligent that it can paralyze you with its gaze” but i’m not sure whether that’s what you’re talking about.

also, i think the thing with AI isn’t about Roko’s Basilisk, at least not in most people’s minds? It’s about replacing human white collar workers with machinery, in order to “save cost”. So, it’s mainly being pushed for by people who think they’re doing it “for the economy”, not by some religious lunatics?

i don’t get what you’re saying after reading it 2-3 times. can you explain more?

what is the connection between AI and rationalists? i don’t see it.

and what does “zizzians” mean, and what does it have with sexual assault?

hah lol good story :D on a more serious note, i hope you’re doing fine.

also, maybe hallucinations are partially influenced by what we’ve seen before, and by what is in our subconscious. wheels are pretty widespread, so one coming up in a dream isn’t particularly unlikely, i would say.

i appreciate your posting here :D keep it here and up :D

btw you image contains redundant information:

it contains systems of organizing/structuring information twice (books and IT), and it also contains the idea of the wheel twice (consider a cog a wheel though).

also both of these ideas aren’t that far fetched. the above image is sometimes called “Dharma” (the wheel of dharma), and it represents householding: “whatever you want to protect” stands in the middle of it, with you always running in circles around it. consider you go to work in the morning, come home in the evening, just to repeat it the next day. i’d consider it “running in circles”. so it’s a useful image.

also the thing with the information, especially the “book of life”, has meaning to it if you consider DNA / genetic code is a scripture that contains the blueprint for life. So, it’s literally “you are a scripture on some kind of writing material”.

i’ll help you with the last one:

bro the whole world is made of information, it’s all just variables; the world is a database and reality is the user interface; we’re probably in a computer game & just don’t know it (for better immersion) wake up neo you’re in the matrix.

not as tasty as buns

GNU is not Unix.

i, too, recharge through my bottom btw

i wish i could roll like that <3

i’m in favor of renaming 2π to σ because the symbol looks like somebody is taking a measurement of the circumference of a circle.

what is the third number?

edit: ooh, pi^2, i looked it up on the internet (number sequences online lookup tool)

nono that was not what i was saying, sorry if it came across that way … i was making an analogy to housing, but maybe it came across wrong. i’m sorry

I have come to conclude that probably, a terrible amount of these inconsistencies is to make it artificially hard, to “keep out the lower classes” from thinking, or sth. Similar to how the white population in the US made living in suburbs artificially difficult (car dependency, HOAs, …) to keep the “poor” (a.k.a. black) people out. it’s thinly veiled racism.

i raise your 3.14 to an 6.28

the “always horny” is such a mood >.<

congratulations! :)
