It’s all fun and games until the mind-reading AGI tells you every inclination of the human heart is evil and you need to repent and be saved! It’ll be ironic indeed if we stumble our way into building a superintelligence only to proceed to ignore what it has to say because we don’t like its advice. I give it 50:50 odds :)
I had no idea what I was starting when I opened this. Fantastic showing of who warped humans can be, even if we hold to the tightest "logic" possible. I may use this as an example of confirming the consequent.
Compelling and beautifully written! Was not expecting the end. Reminds me of Isaac Asimov’s short story “The Last Question”. The quest for knowledge is disquieting and ceaseless, until we fix our gaze on the eternal.
Dude, this is amazing! The apple does not fall far, eh? So good!
