If you’re looking for irrationality, you’ll find an endless supply on the forums of a cult leader that deemed himself a “Rationalist”. It’s full of people working them into a tizzy on things that might not technically be impossible.
There’s all sorts of problems with Roko’s Basilisk. I’m not a part of or referencing the “Rationalist” community. I’m just saying you’re being irrational.
Literally what is wrong with it that wouldn’t also apply to your belief set about some vague inevitability that’s apparently so important that you felt the need to “erm actually” over a doomer meme?
Except it’s almost certainly technically possible. Like I can guarantee you that human level intelligence is possible in a volume of less than 2L of hardware and running on just a few W of power. The idea that human level intelligence cannot be exceeded without needing to match those space, power, or materials restrictions is kind of absurd.
Is there anything wrong with Roko’s Basilisk?

I asked specifically if there’s anything wrong with Roko’s Basilisk. Since you decided to reply, I would love to hear your response.
It would also be great if you provided a timeline, because the person who posted this FUD is insinuating that this is something that’s coming fast.
