=( What could I do that would make you change your mind?

Really? I don’t accept that the refresh rate of the computer can affect me to that degree, nor do I accept that the AI would magically know how to do that without data.
Exactly. I already told people I would read everything they said. I can read what the AI says, and just mess with it. Trolling the whole time.
The point is, this game is trivially easy to win as the gatekeeper. You just need to think competitively. I don’t see how the AI beats troll mode either. Text is weak.
My tone is intended to provoke challenges, because I estimated that no one would accept my challenge (and I really want to try this out).
Oh I see, so you only want to roleplay against people who aren’t playing to win.
If you don’t go into the game trying to win, your mindset is wrong. I would only assign gatekeepers who were serious about gate-keeping.
If the point is how easy it is to convince humans of things, then prove it.
If jerk strategy beats AI then jerk strategy is exactly what I will use. That is in my mind the whole point of the gatekeeper. Text as a medium of persuasion is limited, regardless of how amazingly smart the person on the other end is.
It is incredibly difficult if not impossible to convince someone who already has a set goal against your own.
Why are they jerks if they win? Is that not the whole point? I wouldn’t put anyone as a gatekeeper unless they wanted to win!
PM if you want to try and escape against me.
I would wager karma and money (or just internet glory) that no human will have a chance in hell of getting past me. (Chance in hell being much less than 1% probability).
That is as the gatekeeper if that was not clear.
We can use Skype or anything else I can download reasonably fast. My schedule is flexible and I will read everything you say.
PM me, and let’s set stuff up. I am also fine with the logs being made open after my victory (or not, it will be up to you). And yes, I am cocky about this, come throw me off my high horse. I will take multiple challenges.
If you want to add some special rules I am flexible, just ask.
Edit: Super-intelligence chance: Less than 1% as well. Words are a weak medium for a committed individual.
I will willingly admit that I would press the shit out of that button.
I am a bi male in a serious relationship with a transgirl that also reads LW.
Edit: Feel free to PM or post here.
I personally have seen almost nothing about LW from reddit. And I frequent subreddits like cyberpunk, singularity, and transhuman.
I just want to second that I very much want this. I did not feel that an upvote was enough support.
The Hangover is probably a bad example here. I went into it thinking the movie would suck; but ended up enjoying it thoroughly.
I thought it was quite funny. A better example would be something you have actually seen and judged as bleh.
Would it be possible to put this somewhere where iTunes is not required? I would rather not install it.
I can try. I have a group of friends I meet up with on Sundays, so no promises.
I tend to think that rationality and intelligence are two very separate things.
I personally know some absolutely brilliant people that have no grasp of rationality.
I may actually be up for this. East sider here, but the current location is workable.
Agreed. I see very few downsides.
I am curious: could you explain why it is better to vary all 4?
Just in case people do not know: every SMBC has a “hidden” panel seen by hovering over the red button underneath the comic.
What makes you think someone trying to win a roleplaying game is more committed to an action then someone trying to not destroy the whole world?
A good gatekeeper should be harder to convince than a roleplayer, because his situation matters.
