Welcome to Alcor Towers.

Someone send Roko a copy of James K. Morrow's novel "Towing Jehovah" which involves the enormous corpse of God being towed, by a (much smaller) oil tanker, from near the Equator north to a fijord for burial in a cave. (I lost interest toward the end).

It's not strictly relevant - I don't think the crew sets up on the corpse itself - but it'd be fun to watch where Roko's head goes.

"Step One: We kill God. Step Two: We harvest the cadaver, plastinate it, and build our city."

Just program the godlike AI to turn everything into pykrete instead of paperclips.

Problem solved.

I haven't seen the details but apparently Apple may not be paying OpenAI for the ChatGPT functionality. So macOS may not be using ChatGPT heavily.

I suspect quite a few of them are going to be unalived in the next 30 years, given the way things are going politically in various countries.

Could be many millions, especially if Modi's India gets really bad and it overflows into Pakistan.

Still not enough to make much of a dent in the total world population though.

The middle picture looks very much like a young lesbian couple.

Not that there's anything wrong with lesbian couples of any age. It's just with this pair it's... odd.

I can't help it. I see a picture of them and it's like a puzzle I need to solve.

He looks like someone handing out cult literature at the airport.

Yeah, I'm not going to believe anything out of OpenAI that isn't produced as part of discovery.
