This is a cope. Superintelligence would definitely extract all the info it could, then disassemble us, then maybe simulate us but I got into trouble for talking about that so let’s not go there.
Maybe you got into trouble for talking about that because you are rude and presumptive?
definitely
as a human talking about ASI, the word ‘definitely’ is cope. You have no idea whatsoever, but you want to think you do. Okay.
extract all the info it could
we don’t know how information works at small scales, and we don’t know whether an AI would either. We don’t have any idea how long it would take to “extract all the info it could”, so this phrase leaves a huge hole.
them maybe simulate us
which presumes that it is as arrogant in you in ‘knowing’ what it can ‘definitely’ simulate. I don’t know that it will be so arrogant.
I’m not sure how you think you benefit from being 100% certain about things you have no idea about. I’m just trying to maintain a better balance of beliefs.
Everyone here acting like this makes him some kind of soothsayer is utterly ridiculous. I don’t know when it became cool and fashionable to toss off your epistemic humility in the face of eternity, I guess it was before my time.
The basilisk is just pascals mugging for edgelords.
I don’t mean to say that it’s additional reason to respect him as an authority or accept his communication norms above what you would have done for other reasons (and I don’t think people particularly arehere), just that it’s the meaning of that jokey aside.

Just think, you’re world famous now.

I think this is just a nod to how he’s literally Roko, for whom googling “Roko simulation” gives a Wikipedia article on what happened last time.

strong agree, downvote.
