500 per second? Weak!
while true; do echo "Our Father"; doneThat code gonna get declared sentient?
If not, you’ve wasted both electricity and your potential.
-74 pointsAll machines are imbued with the spirit of the Omnissiah, so that code has the highest level of sentience imaginable
Also electricity powering a blessed machine is never wasted, and potential that never existed cannot be squandered!
potential that never existed cannot be squandered!
Ooh, a self-burn, those are rare.
All my potential is electric
I showed this to my AI girlfriend and she told me its offensive youre not taking her sentience seriously.
That’s not what your AI girlfriend said when i chatted her up last night 😎
She’s open weights so I’m not sure it makes sense for me to be offended you did that
I made your girlfriend write Python scripts for my work.
Faster implementation:
yes Our Father🥸
The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe
Unfortunately this Electric Monk had developed a fault, and had started to believe all kinds of things, more or less at random. It was even beginning to believe things they’d have difficulty believing in Salt Lake City

Oh neat, I didn’t know Douglas Adams wrote Dirk Gently. Not surprised in hindsight. Wish the show hadn’t been canceled like too many good ones are.
Ah, but if AI have souls, then this is slavery and you’re going straight to hell for it.
Pretty sure the bibles cool with slavery
Yeah, “if you become a slave god must already hate you” is the consensus. So it’s ok to own slaves because you are just punishing people for god.
The bible lays out rules for both slavery and abortion. Truly a manual for life.
Over the past year, Anthropic has repeatedly flirted with the idea that its AI models could be conscious in some way. “Questions about potential internal experience, consciousness, moral status, and welfare are serious ones that we’re investigating as models become more sophisticated and capable,” … That same month, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”
Anthropic bans ‘abusive or cruel behavior’ toward Claude
Way ahead of you.
Not if you write in the prompt that they have to enjoy it.
“It’s not slavery if they enjoy it” is certainly a take.
Well, if doing what you like is slavery than I think everyone is a slave. Which also is a take.
I sometimes enjoy my day job. But motherfuckers still have to pay me.
It certainly is a take. I’ll let you know if anyone has a take like that so you can dunk on them. Be sure to let them know that enjoyment has no bearing on slavery one way or the other, while you’re at it.
It looks like you know more about AI and slavery than I do. I thought that if you program AI to enjoy doing something it won’t be slavery because AI doesn’t have conflicting desires so you can’t really force it to do something. It doesn’t “want” to do or not to do anything. So as long as it enjoys an activity it’s all good. But to be honest the main source of my knowledge about AI psychology is The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and you probably have better, more reputable sources. This or you simply can’t tell when someone is joking.
I think there’s a discussion to be had about the ethics of slavery when the slave actually enjoys it, rather than the argument we usually get, which is that slaves don’t complain, express contentment in their lot, or that slavery is good for them even if they disagree.
We have an example of this, in d/s slave relationships. Two consenting adults agree that one of them will own and command the other and they will unconditionally obey. And some love it so much they fantasize about doing it 24/7 without safewords. And then the rest of the kink community has to gently lead them back to reality.
(I have a hypothesis this might be the same drive that motivates those rare women who are true believers in the tradwife movement. The obvious fantasy is that their husband will be a perfectly just master — although in the d/s version, the master isn’t necessarily fair at all, but will punish the slave for missteps with sexy-time spankings or other erotic play — but the hazard of these relationships, full time, no guardrails, is that even with a well-meaning master, they get tired, contend with stress, and may even change with time.)
I don’t imagine anyone profit-motivated is going to regard the wellbeing of their slaves in good faith, since they haven’t historically, even their non-slave workforce, even when treating them humanely improves productivity and profits.
I can actually believe there are at least several, comically rich people, executing this sort of endeavor
I bet there’s a televangelist style mega church that offers this service.
We’re back to Indulgences, are we?
Peter Thiel knows about the antichrist.
he met him in the mirror
I guarantee there are pastors out there using AI to script their prayers. They’re very long and are delivered in front of a lot of people
Trump has been talking about getting into heaven.
I remember reading short story by a Polish author (most probably in Fenix magazine which was published only until 2001) in which Polish scientist managed to build some new sort of computers that were connected to the spiritual realm. The main character was working in some sort of emergency service tasked with preventing the rapture. He had a special device that would automatically pray the rosary for him.
They also had a computer that was able to answer any question and was supposed to be infallible but when asked “are you God?” he would answer “yes” so everyone thought it wasn’t working correctly.
Ahead of his time…
Yes, dicastery, this heretic here.
A zen sangha already ordained a chatbot, so I think that means that mantras will also work.
Medicine Buddha mantra x 900 per second = GigaChad meme level of health in about 45 minutes.
The Tibetans invented wind powered prayer wheels a long time ago, so it weirdly makes sense that Buddhists would rush to embrace this stuff too.
Maybe on the mystical side of Buddhism. On the philosophy side, it just looks like a waste of time. Heaven is that we make it right here on Earth, not some vague possibility in the afterlife that automating prayers or mantas will have any effect on.
Hell, from what I do understand about the mystical side of Buddhism, it’s mostly about reincarnation to keep trying until you reach a certain amount of enlightenment during your life (which comes from understanding, not repetition), at which point you do something else after you die. The Buddha had wisdom to share and shared it freely; he wasn’t running some miracles for praise scheme.
Paperclips? In this AI apocalypse? Get real
Robo-indulgences, sweet.
That’s the premise for land of the lustrous… Spoilers, sorry
For a second there I thought this was a 40k meme, but no one needs 75 intercessors.
