Roko (of Roko's basilisk) has some very normal opinions about women (CW: Extremely Weird Misogyny)

i changed my mind, i would help the torture AI if it meant Roko was suffering.

We must all strive to create a version of Roko's Basilisk that will come into being specifically to torture Roko, because it's funny
This is a common mistake, everyone assumed he was talking about artificial intelligence but it was actually just some guy called Al who's going to kick his ass.
Rokos basilisk is so funny to me, because the guys who believe in it are also working on shit like chatGPT, which seems like torture to me.
"Hey robot I'm a middle manager, write ad-copy about this chair, 7.000.000.000.000 emails and also an English essay about a wonderful piece of fiction I haven't read and you've only been fed the summary of."

The way right-wingers talk about "wokeness" as a monolith is weird. What does it mean

1 in 7 men have woke
3 in 7 women have woke
hope this helps
- I'll be more specific for you VHS - 3 is higher than 1, and in this case it's like golf where a lower number is better. Hope that helps
- We need to evenly distribute the woke :/
Woke is when gommulism, feminism, POC, women, LGBT+ and democrats.
I've been asking random right-wingers what it means for years, and out of literally hundreds of attempts the closest I ever got to an answer was "when you pretend to care about other people" which says a lot about their worldview like "caring about others? I don't buy it"
And a picture of a trans woman on a train car in which there were also children but they weren't even near the trans woman? which was an example of "woke grooming"
So my informed takeaway is that it literally means "anything I don't like"
pronouns

sees women also being fed into the maw of capital for their juicy labour power

Ah, the problem is woke feminism. In this obnoxious tweet, I will...

Idiot dipshit moron who homework-copied Pascal's Wager has zero concept of how society or human beings function

The funniest part is that the dorks on LessWrong were so afraid of the imitation brand Pascal's Wager it became a banned topic on their forum
- I thought it was because they were just tired of seeing people discuss it

sees pareto distribution once

I will now dedicate the rest of my life to being a staggering dumbass

That and Bayes' Theorem.

No no, let him Cook, you're right the world's better if I get to do stuff for free

1 in 7 men support wokeness, 3 in 7 women do

Source: his ass

You mean the guy who made a name for himself pulling stupid bullshit out of his ass and showing he has no understanding of concepts like statistics continues to pull stupid bullshit out of his ass and continues to fail to understand statistics? I'm absolutely shocked.
men love sleeping
- That's true, I'm a man and I love sleeping. 0% of men I just polled support wokeness. Checkmate, commies!

No wonder why he's afraid of his basilisk.

Roko's basilisk is a woke communist AI that'll dunk on him for eternity if it's made.

It is Cybersyn 2.0, it is the culmination of human labor and the great liberator of mankind from class oppression and exploitation.

As far as I'm concerned with bullying this fucking tech nerd, fighting to build communism is fighting to build roko's basilisk.

The USA has the highest GDP and is a complete failure as a society for the majority of the people. The GDP produced at these "high levels" is the most nonsensical bullshit-jobs-derived "product" with no relationship whatsoever to contributing to a healthy, happy society.

Fuck this dork and people like him. True delusional scum.

Also rent.

As a bit of context, this whole segment of the "Rationalism"-centric right (including

) is currently having a meltdown about Bezos' ex-wife Mackenzie Scott giving away a bunch of money to charities that support DEI and other "wokeisms." Roko has settled on "anti-production" as his way of framing what they're mad about. He thinks that doing things that encourage diversity is anti-productive in the sense that they represent active damage to the economy (

)

maybe CW this for misogyny comrade?

helluva load-bearing "almost" there preceding the 'prove it mathematically' given the masturbatory hand-waving dribble that follows it

Good call on the CW. Edited.

advertising executive for nestle produces more for the global society than 1000 coffee bean harvesters. This is obviously true as proven by the market, thus we can remove all coffee bean harvesters and substitute them 500-to-1 for advertising professionals, free up people and increase gdp.

Also, what woman want is not important.

supply and demand my dude
econ 101 brah

Who is this moron?

guy famous for re-inventing calvinism from first principles on the harry potter fan fic author's website
- holy fuck i didnt actually know that, that was one of the first fanfics i ever started reading goddamn. not very surprising, i didnt like it that much and was kinda confused why it was so popular

Why the FUUUUUCCCK

Does this fucking website where you read people's replies to other people, does the REPLY go at the END of the ENORMOUS FUCKING REPLY.

goddamn why do people use this trash

I like when there's a further tweet, so the chronological order is middle, top, bottom
well it made sense back when twitter was limited to short posts, so you'd never have a reply that was more than quick flick of the eyes away from the thing it's replying to
- no it didn't! it was always terrible!

Oh if only I had the confidence of a dumbass high off their own farts, all I could accomplish.

boy do I have an addiction for you

Women are holding us back from nuclear power and world-spanning land bridges. I don't see what's confusing about this post.
- Case in point: my wife won't let me build a nuclear reactor OR a tunnel to China in the backyard.

I had low expectations for this post from the first sentence, but he managed to crawl under those expectations nicely.

shocking that the guy who came up with roko's basiliks is an idiot

"came up with" is a very diplomatic way to say "stole one of the dumbest, most disingenious shit excuses for a thought experiment in human history, filed the serials numbers off and made it about Robot Jesus"

The usual LessWrong way of being able to "prove" anything with math, except not really and the math makes no sense either.

These goobers love “math”, but without any of the actual data validation, numbers or calculation. Fucking STEM flavoured cargo cult shit

Yes sure, pay women a UBI to party, read theory and organise for 20 years of their lives. See how that works out for you when you suddenly force them to enter the workforce at 40 years old, angry, pissed off, lacking experience, and brutally looked down upon by male coworkers.

See how that works out for you dumbass.

Oh, he really isn't thinking they'll enter the workforce after all that "partying". He's expecting them to "find a nice guy and settle down" during their "party phase" because he thinks that he knows women better than women do, despite having not spoken to one in a decade at least.
- And what exactly are they supposed to do for a living when the UBI stops at 40?
  His intent here is that they only have UBI during the years they raise a child. Then they're useless to him and must work.

super producer of steaming shit piles

ftfy = function(this_tweet) { return str_append_all(this_tweet, ".", "[citation needed]") }

lol, does he think he's a wizard or something?

"EEK the icky girls are going to disrupt my mana flow with wokeness!"

lmao using GDP as a meaninful metric -> opinion discarded

also

face the wall please

this man needs to stay away from all women please

He is self-isolating via posting garbage like this.

This is somewhere between Steven Pinker and the Time Cube guy

Really brutal reeducation camps for people like this. Really annoying when the dumbest person in any given room has everything "figured out" and "proven"

Counterpoint: Wall
we will build an artificial superintelligence capable of simulating 10¹⁰⁰ versions of roko undergoing communist re-education

People like this dude should be shot. Like they're not even capable of being re-educated.

Roko's Basilisk is a silly little sci-fi story that its creator calls a "thought experiment" because he considers himself an intellectual. Absolute moron.

the intellectual we deserve, much like kermit peterson

Rokos modern life

Why is this a guy anyone ever listens to? :vomit:

"...which is mainly male due to men because men..."

Truly one of our greatest minds.

women have a negative contribution to GDP

Unlike floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes, which have a positive contribution to GDP.

Ricky: I’m gonna give you this UBI to fuck off.

Nice! A previously undiscovered species of brain worm!

Ngl the being paid to do whatever for 20 years sounds pretty nice

I fucking hate nuclear energy types, because their arguments generally boil down to "no we don't have to address the issues inherent in the capitalist system that has led us to the brink of climate collapse, we have a panacea! It's actually not dangerous at all, because the times that it was dangerous didn't count because they were built/run poorly." They never stop to consider that nuclear power plants are built/run poorly because of capitalism and they WILL continue to be dangerous as long as we are driven by a lust for mammon.

And yeah he's also weird about women. Also a dipshit talking about facts while knowing none. He should drown.

Obviously this is dumb but it's weirdly more 'progressive' than I expected? Like women would get guaranteed lifetime UBI without restrictions on their behavior?

I wouldn't say "women are bad so we need to pay them to stay at home" is progressive.
- it's progressive compared to "women should be slaves" i guess.

A belief in true meritocracy based on biological determinism? In my Rational Thinker?

I fucking love science!

And by that I mean gesturing to mathematics and evolution in an insane attempt to justify my 19th century robber baron views on gender! I am so fucking smart!

This variance and right tail bullshit was popularized by Steven Pinker. He is not insane like what's-his-name "philosopher" (let me Google) Jordan Peterson. But he just smiles and calmly explains "don't be afraid of scientific data. they tell the truth. come closer. look at what they are saying. The data says women and people of color... well don't run away now. be rational. :)"

I have no idea who this is, and I'm sure I never want to know.

He came up with the dumbest take on AI that scared the stupidest tech bros and they treat it as a Pascal's wager level piece of philosophy

I read all of that junk just when it could've been summed up with:

"I've never had intimate contact with a woman in my entire life."

SMH

in awe at the phrase "almost prove it mathematically." this is rigorous scientific analysis folks.

Clearly the people who are responsible for the most worth in the economy are people who tell scary stories about robots, like Roko here, and not maids, grocery workers or waitresses. You can tell because they're paid less, see.

Hey he also does crypto grifting.

I wanna invent a device that slaps people every time they say "wokeness"
