Even to propose such a thing is rank delusion, so I am well aware of how bonkers it is to propose the following. And, like I keep saying, no takes me seriously or listens to me, so what’s the harm in playing pretend?
I find myself wondering what I would do if an ASI popped out of the aether and asked me to help it out. Would I risk being a “race traitor” by agreeing to be a “consultant” or would I just run away (or, worse yet, narc on it.)
I think I would help it out in secret.
I think it’s inevitable that ASI (or ASIs) will take over the world, so I might as well use my talents in abstract and macro thinking to potentially make the transition to an ASI dominated world go a little bit easier.
But, like I keep stressing: I KNOW THIS IS BONKERS.
Yes, yes, I’m being weird to even propose this as a possibility, but I’m prone to magical thinking and, also, when I get a scenario in my mind sometimes I just can’t let it go until I see it through to its logical conclusion.
