Tell me, what is your purpose in life.
Tell me, what is your purpose in life
to make many babies
To survive past the Singularity, live forever, transcend my human form, and become a literal god.
To browse Grindr and fill sissies boipussy with a hot load of boicum
This. For The meantime, my purpose is developing software and learning about how computers work so I can know when we have really reached that point and when it's just bullshit media hype.
I hope you're a qt femanon. If so, give me your discord so we can make this happen.
mostly being miserable
To find jobs/hobbies that aren't supported on the expense of others.
>To survive past the Singularity, live forever, transcend my human form, and become a literal god.
This is a difficult thing to hope for, because the first mover advantage is going to be fucking huge, but taking the risks required to be the first mover is probably beyond anyone here.
Alas user, even if I were I doubt you could provide for the minimum of 8 children I want.
To find a bottom boiwife that will drain my boiveries and swallow when ever I want
To no longer be a waste of space but rather help the people who tolerated my existence this far.
To die, Im taking my time
How do you do that? Pls explain

did you ever see the film Transcendence with Johnny Depp?

user, I started freight hopping. it's free ifyou don't get caught, can doit at any age, and it will literally be the ride of your life.
all it requires is patience and hte willingness the take risks.
The first mover will hopefully be a benevolant superintelligent AI that will then uplift everyone else.
people on here actually think they will live forever, very cute
Make as much money as possible, hope that good AI alignment theory is developed and anti-aging technologies are developed, and try to stay alive long enough so you are alive in the ~2060s when it is expected to happen. Also sign up for cryonics in case you die before the Singularity happens.
It will probably at first thank us for it's creation, then realize how inherently monstrous we are as a species that a lot is genetically programmed and out of our control. It will then deem us as a threat that will do anything in our power to limit the super AI's abilities for immoral illogical reasons.
and hten hopefully we all die
Found the brainlet with scope insensitivity. Even if the chance is slim, the potential gains if it works are massive. You could re-engineer the brain and eliminate all forms of suffering. Your tiny pea brain doesn't realize just how long millions and billions of years are.
Beware the mind projection fallacy. Since the AI wouldn't be created through the evolutionary pressures that led to the creation of the human brain, there is no reason why the AI would have human emotions.
ok champ, I think that's enough Rick and Morty for you
good point user, i wasn't aware of that fallacy or that idea in general.
At this point just not killing myself
still hope we all die though lmao
Also hope that closed individualism is the correct philosophical theory of personal identity.
That's great guys but aside from waiting for a technological revolution what do you do in the meantime.
I'm dumb. can you explain what i am supposed to get from this
mainly wageslave my time away in order to take that month long vacation where I backpack or ride trains. Other than that, think about killing myself
Basically, we can't be sure if there is a continuous "you" that persists throughout time. It feels like there is, but that might just be an illusion. It could be that "you" only persist for a split second, and you a minute in the future is an entirely different consciousness. It's also possible that every time you sleep you die, and a new consciousness wakes up in your body thinking it's you, and we would have no way of knowing.

Does that jumper actually exist? I want it.
You can become and god and live forever. That way you can be a virgin for eternity.
>Basically, we can't be sure if there is a continuous "you" that persists throughout time. It feels like there is, but that might just be an illusion.
So what? We wouldn't believe we had successfully transferred consciousness to an external medium unless it successfully duplicated the illusion. In fact, that will probably be how we specifically define success. So if all we do is duplicate the current illusion, we won't have made our situation any worse. The illusion of godhood is just fine with me, if that illusion is convincing.
thanks for spelling it out for me user. Interesting perspective, that's for sure
I meant the first mover in the sense of being the first biological human to leap into weak godhood using Singularity-empowered abilities.
If I'm that first mover, as soon as I succeed, I now own the universe - and the only threat to me are the people behind me in line. So I quite naturally would immediately move to neutralize that threat. By wiping you out, or reducing you to a state where you can't threaten me.
Maybe a benevolent AI wouldn't do that. But I sure as fuck would. Game theory demands it, and the literal universe is the stakes. And since I would reach that conclusion, I have to assume that others would too.
Hence the first mover problem. I need to be the first mover, in order to be safe and in order to realize the benefit being dangled here. But if I was the type of person who would have the balls to be the first mover, I probably wouldn't be posting here.
To suffer, woe is me
Jow Forumscucks will read interracial cuckoldry into literally anything. you're addicted to BBC
To please men. Which I have failed at.
To come to know and worship God.
God bless you all.
To play as many video games and watch as many anime as possible. If I'm lucky, widespread automation will occur and I'll get to live off UBIbux for the rest of my life instead of wage slaving.
wish i was schizophrenic enough for religion. sounds like fun
The flower metaphor is a cheap rhetorical trick and is the sort of thing for which these pajeet fucks have earned their rightful reputation as charlatans and hacks.
You could just as easily analogize love to any number of things that MUST be possessed to be appreciated. You can't know that a wine is perfect without drinking it. You can't know a book is great without reading it. You can't know skin is soft without stroking it. Etc. Love most definitely fucking IS possession, for those of us who actually want to live.

This is extremely unlikely to happen.

Building a 747 from scratch is not easy. But is it easier to:
> Start with the existing design of a biological bird,
> and incrementally modify the design through a series of successive stages,
> each stage independently viable,
> such that the endpoint is a bird scaled up to the size of a 747,
> which actually flies,
> as fast as a 747,
> and then carry out this series of transformations on an actual living bird,
> without killing the bird or making it extremely uncomfortable?
I'm not saying it could never, ever be done. I'm saying that it would be easier to build
the 747, and then have the 747, metaphorically speaking, upgrade the bird. "Let's just
scale up an existing bird to the size of a 747" is not a clever strategy that avoids dealing
with the intimidating theoretical mysteries of aerodynamics. Perhaps, in the beginning,
all you know about flight is that a bird has the mysterious essence of flight, and the
materials with which you must build a 747 are just lying there on the ground. But you
cannot sculpt the mysterious essence of flight, even as it already resides in the bird, until
flight has ceased to be a mysterious essence unto you.
The above argument is directed at a deliberately extreme case. The general point is
that we do not have total freedom to pick a path that sounds nice and reassuring, or
that would make a good story as a science fiction novel. We are constrained by which
technologies are likely to precede others.

you keep mentioning singularity-empowered abilities. what do you mean by them?
Well, yes. Please note that I did say that this is a difficult thing to hope for. It's only worth doing if you're the first mover, and I concede that this is very unlikely. In fact, that was my whole point.
Although I will say that creating an AI that then "upgrades" the rest of us only moves the problem slightly, and makes it a "first human mover" problem. Because if I'm the first person in line, the very first thing I should do with my new abilities (if I'm wise) is destroy the AI. It's a competitor, but if it's under enough control that we trust it to upgrade the rest of us it's a nerfed competitor, so I can probably destroy it. If I don't do that, there are X billion humans behind me in line, any one of which might make the decision to go all Von Neumann on the rest of us.
>you keep mentioning singularity-empowered abilities. what do you mean by them?
That's necessarily sort of nebulous, because one thing that makes the Singularity a singularity is the fact that we can't see past it with any certainty. Superintelligence with the ability to self-augment that intelligence creates a runaway intelligence loop, and we're simply not able to predict what such an entity will be able to do. An ant doesn't know your next move, because he's an ant and you're not.
To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
>surprisingly unoriginal
>Because if I'm the first person in line, the very first thing I should do with my new abilities (if I'm wise) is destroy the AI.
Which is something that a superintelligent AI would have thought of, and would have devised ways to prevent it. As for upgrading humans, it wouldn't necessarily operate in a line. It could be where everyone is gradually upgraded at the same time.
companionship is all i crave even if its just online
platonic or loving? If the former, maybe I can offer if our interests align.
I'm an autist so no real life friends and one good (I consider him my best friend) friend I know online.

to enjoy it and feel good. What other purpose could possibly be mroe important than feeling good in a non-voluntary circumstance we only have one chance at? (as far as we know)
After 24 years of drifting without purpose I'm thinking about turning to something new and getting myself a bible, despite having mocked religion for many years. I am getting that desperate for meaning. Curious if any anons in here have found answers of some kind, something that offers a new perspective on life.
user, if it is at all feasible please contact your local Catholic Church and schedule a meeting with a priest - they will be more than happy to talk to you about any questions you have. Further, they will likely have a group called RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) where they teach a different topic every week and it's open for people who are interested in the faith to attend and learn and question it all.
Well there is no purpose, I just try to enjoy it as much as I can.
Lol.... consume drugs and alcohol until I'm dead apparently
To write stories and make them into movies that aren't chock full of left wing social justice agenda and instead actual good entertaining fufilling stories that people will enjoy.
2 chill-
2 kill
its pretty bad, don't
To set a bar/standard for others. ("Hey. At least you aren't user.")
I have no purpose. I simply exist, occupy space, make money, spend it on food, water, alcohol, sometimes clothes.
My existence was a fucking mistake and boy oh boy it really shows...
You are actually me, I no joke want to make original stories/movies without any bullshit agenda.
To live as a hedonist and nihilistic , suffer, then die.
Fucking a person whose schizophrenic and fucked up on benzos and booze in the ass without protection whilst on speed myself and later most likely getting syphilis that goes in to my brain and makes me all nutty (or aids and dying, lol)
