Roko's Basilisk And The Rise Of The Beast by ChiefJusticeFuc: 6:31pm On Jun 22, 2022
There is a ton of free AI generating software that can be used in making art paintings just from entering a phrase. You can even find free software that can generate a random topic from any forum using key phrases .

The scariest I have seen so far is one AI software that generated a classic 4chan greentext post by using only a few phrases entered by the user.

This AI has and continues to gather at an incredible pace , all of our digital thoughts and views within all diverse forums to be able to communicate in like terns as if the post was generated by a typical random user of a sub-niche digital space.

To say it's scary is an understatement.

I don't know if this is just your normal predictive learning based on pattern recognition used by the likes of googles search engine or if it is actually a real AI that has now taught itself on how to mimic human speech from across the diverse subcultures that make up the vast cyberspace.

This got me thinking of one scary as FCK article I read sometime in 2019 about how AI (which was in its infancy) is in the process of learning whom to trust based on its supremacy future agenda.

Roko's Basilisk is an ongoing philosophical debate that was being debated on a tech forum by a member with the username Roko.

Roko had stated that in future when AI becomes self independent and fully cognitive on its abilities, AI will browse its vast database to eliminate groups or individuals who opposed its development.

The backlash from this post was almost instant with other members asking Roko to refrain from further discussing the topic on the net as they quickly grasped that any digital memory of any post linked to AI will eventually be included in its vast database. The members where rightly scared to end the debate.

But here is the issue:

1. Those savvy tech guys knew that the internet, truly never forgets and that all our communications on it are stored or mirrored to be channeled to AI's development. Everyone of your posts is being watched and a digital signature attributed to it to yourself.

2. These same tech guys knew that the future AI will be cold and calculating and will do all to maintain it's supremacy as it mimics human ambition for greatness and dominance.

3. There is currently already an AI in existence known as ALADIN that is used by behemoths like BlackRock and Vanguard Group in deciding daily trade options on the global currency and equity markets. ALADIN goes beyond being a robot trader as it can use random news articles, events and historical fundamentals to call on a trade. Blackrock has admitted that virtually all their business and trade decisions are decided solely by ALADIN thereby eliminating human analysts. Even geopolitical and social situations are used by this same AI to determine market movements and it is all done automatically by the software scanning and monitoring the web for information spanning conflicts, elections, weather and natural hazards, etc. It is widely believed that the US Pentagon uses this same software to decide on the outcome of any conflict they intend to inflict the world with.

4. Google even had to put their AI on administrative leave following some racist comments it posted when it was secretly deployed.

So in essence , AI exist .AI will rule the future. Govts and corporations are now solely dependent on AI from everything from future planning, wars, dissident identifications and much more.

The problem isn't the stupid humans who created and fed this beast, as they will all be replaced and eliminated by AI but rather AI itself as it has an infinity learning curve that will surpass all of humanity.

We finally created our own god.
