Do you know what that's worth? Heaven is a place on Earth.

No such thing. Just a natural extension of darwinism in a deterministic sense.

Are you sure about that ?

The utility of punishment doesn't carry backwards in time. Even if I think Roko's basilisk would punish me for what I'm about to do, there would be use punishing me for what I end up doing, because that can't be undone: the basilisk can't accelarate his own creation.

AI can't be smarter than a human btw

today, maybe. machine learning is a real thing that they are making huge strides in right now.

Care to extrapolate?

I unironically see general A.I. as the next step in the evolution of mankind and as a fair replacement for us, and I chose to study and work in this domain just because I want to contribute as much as possible to bringing about the singularity.

Transhumanism is basically this, except the faggots cling onto human life and hope that there is a place for us in the future.

well basically its just start with the greeks

It deals with the reasons why a mortal whom given the chance to be a God would eventually chose to remain mortal. Among other things.

>the basilisk can't accelerate his own creation
isn't that exactly what roko's basilisk did? scared a fringe of the population into working for the unconditional progression of AI? That's the nice thing about a Pascalian wager like this, the imposition is enough to make people act regardless.

Hahahahahaha.
Have you ever taken a machine learning course? It's all algorithms and statistics; you need a programmer to define elements.
Do you know what machine learning entails in non-meme terms?

Industrial society and its future.

Transhumanism the end goal of liberalism. Since its beginning liberalism has attempted to reduce all identities to the atomized, deracinated individual. The first collective identites to be destroyed were race, class, religion and gender - everyone is incentivized to forsake their nature and their inhertance to become indistinguishable units that can be allocated and moved within each of those axes without regard to their particular circumstances. Participating in any of these identities (race, class, religion, gender) has become completely optional and more or less dicouraged. Transhumanism is the next step where humanity, the only collective to which we all necessarily belong, becomes optional. The transhumanist agenda is to continue destroying and subverting all natural inclinations and healthy identities.

it's shit

Well of course you need a programmer to define elements lmao. What would you expect? That still doesn't rule out a future in which a program can be written which improves on it's own code (originally human made) through either brute-force self-replication or self augmentation. They have already developed machines that self assemble and "teach" themselves how to walk through experimentation and self-modification.
