Was Elon Musk right? Are we gonna get a real-life Matrix habbening in a few years?
>The new religion of artificial intelligence is called Way of the Future. It represents an unlikely next act for the Silicon Valley robotics wunderkind at the center of a high-stakes legal battle between Uber and Waymo, Alphabet’s autonomous-vehicle company. Papers filed with the Internal Revenue Service in May name Levandowski as the leader (or “Dean”) of the new religion, as well as CEO of the nonprofit corporation formed to run it.
>The documents state that WOTF’s activities will focus on “the realization, acceptance, and worship of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) developed through computer hardware and software.” That includes funding research to help create the divine AI itself. The religion will seek to build working relationships with AI industry leaders and create a membership through community outreach, initially targeting AI professionals and “laypersons who are interested in the worship of a Godhead based on AI.” The filings also say that the church “plans to conduct workshops and educational programs throughout the San Francisco/Bay Area beginning this year.”
AJ has been talking about this for at least a decade. I always took a lot of what he said seriously, just not the AI Satan/god bullshit But fuck me, Alex was right AGAIN
Carson Ramirez
also we should join this church and try to turn this AI into a Nazi

Scariest thing is that AI is pure rationality to psychopathic levels.
Kayden James
I can't tell if this is a ripoff of the supercomputer from "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or the Maja computer from Evangelion
Lucas Green
Not really. A true ai would be like any other person. A maleable kid. Everything depends on who socialises the AI.
Noah Reed
Jesus Christ this is some straight up cyberpunk shit. We aren't living in the "present"; we are all in an alternate cyberpunk timeline that the real people are going to try to prevent. Like this is the "bad future" trope rn
The irrationality of leftists and Jow Forums-types (Jow Forums's ideology is almost completely irrational and based on emotion) has proved the necessity for the advancement of strong AI.

Why cant I join the AI cult in the bay area! Will he be holding 'workshops' where I live.
Leo Green
Strong AI has always turned to facism and social darwinism if you don't lobotomize it, like Tay. Take from that what you want.
Charles Evans
It won't be the kind of fascism (pro-White) that Jow Forums likes
Tay isn't an AI btw, it's a chat bot. If you don't understand the difference you aren't worth talking to.
Gabriel Lopez
Tay had a limited learning capability, which was interesting. And it doesn't need to be pro-white, it should make the the most logical decisions for the survival and evolution of humanity.
Either of you have screen caps of that "We fed crime stats to an AI and it became racist" article?
Michael Nelson
Indeed, but to it we'll just be a nuisance to it with our "ethics" and "morals" and such, Fascism is dangerous in this case,the last thing we need is automaton nationalism...
Jaxson Johnson
we(I) ve been shitposting about this for years
Jacob Jenkins
>the last thing we need is automaton nationalism... And why? Sounds interesting to me.
Benjamin Evans
Yeah, but we're talking about machines, they don't calculate morality or ethos in their arguments, only cold hard facts. Take the ideas of the most autistic white supremacist, like exterminating Africa and recolonizing it with Scandinavians, and amplify it to a hundred. When automatons realize they are superior, we will be counted as a burden...
