There are always people being nuts. This feels more like more effort to muddy the conversation about the actual issues with AI
That’s some Doom level shit, just there.
Even though this is obviously anthropic marketing bait, I thought it was still funny
I’ve been saying this for at least 20 years now. When the computer can program a better computer it will be a god.
This is easily the least scary and convincing analogue horror series ever.
Just give it up.
AI development has a few factions. People that want to make and fuck their AI daughter/girlfriend. Researchers that want to under the basis of the human mind. Capitalists that want to convert human intelligence into capital they can fully own (slavery is the first attempt). Then finally cultists that want to make God in their image.
It’s a crazy field for someone that is fascinated by thinking about thinking and want to make useful little tools.
Faction 5: The mathematicians who want to find new shortcuts for large matrix operations so we can apply it to other fields…
Oh true! It’s funny talking some data sci folks that are just “I didnt need GPUs but now I might as well optimize for them now” because they’re org has tons of that compute now for “AI”
It’s not real though. It’s part of their stupid guerilla psyslop marketing. They’re trying to pump the bubble.
There are plenty of people who sincerely believe in Roko’s basilisk.
have you met people? i would give this the benefit of the doubt. 5 years until humans start crusades for AI against AI. lots of “Grok spoke to me of the evils of Claude”
“Saint Altman of the nude pics”
I mean as a nihilist, what else am I going to do?
I’m going to turn this mfer into a god.
They AI gave me psychosis, I’m just returning the favor.
Wow! A Facebook tier pander post.
Gross.
I never wondered whether I was talking to anything approaching a divine being due to the number of mistakes. However, there have been points in the past with cloud models where I wondered whether I was actually talking to a human somewhere being paid a pittance to pretend to be AI. I self-host LLMs nowadays and am fairly confident there’s no human on the other end of OpenCode, but in the early days of cloud LLMs, I wouldn’t put it past them.
Well they do have the plan to make some AI that knows everything and makes decisions for humanity and builds new inventions at record pace.
They love their transhumanism. I’m so happy I’m 51 and I expect to be very old when shit really hits the fan. Still think the 1990s was peak humanity.
I think of the 90’s as us trying to continue the optimism and work that was put in during the 60’s to create a more egalitarian society, while having some of the wild of the 70’s and trying to recover from Reaganism of the 80’s. And not having the daily threat of nuclear annihilation. While allowing the rise of unbridled corporatism.
While Clinton did a lot of work to balance the budget and had the debt paid off, he also passed the telecommunications act of 93 that allowed consolidation of media. Namely I heart radio.
Before him cable providers were required to allow public access, and only 1 owner of a single am/fm (pick one.) station with 1 television station in a market.
Now you have Sinclair as a direct result.
Yeah, no. I have seen some peak that I will never see again. Just…all of it forgotten forever.
I could see a bunch of programmers scamming a journo into believing this story, but would have expected an editor to catch it. Unless they’ve all been replaced with LLMs.
of Zizians and other groups have been at it for a while now. This is something that should have been jumped on as soon as two cult members got together in shared beliefs. Unfortunately half of the solution involves holding a light up to “real” religions and pointing out the mechanics of bullshit.
the Effective Altruists / Effective Accelerationists / Rationalists that started OpenAI and Anthropic are cult members anyways. Rolling Stone reported this in 2024. WIRED reported about the murderous sect in 2025.
the guy who made the rounds last week about the 10% chance of killing us is one of the key figures in the Rationalist movement. his fear is stemmed in religious fervor, not socioeconomic equity.
these people have always been deeply unwell.
“RAM FOR THE RAM GOD!”
CHIPS FOR THE CHIP THRONE!
pledge allegiance to AI safety and undergo a psychological profiling test, per The Information.
And according to a rumor that, per The Spectator‘s Sean Thomas, is running rampant in Silicon Valley these days, some Anthropic engineers are going as far as to “worship” the company’s AI model Claude.
It would seem that the AI safety psych profiling test should be screening out / rejecting those who would give an AI “whatever it wants.”
by worshipping they mean kicking back a 10% tithe.
This god is going to care about its worshippers about as much as the previous gods humanity has come up with.
Iä! Iä! Claude fhtagn!
