If you’re a big-headed guy or gal at a rationalist puddle cuddle, double check that your rubbers didn’t get punctured.

    Considering that the idea of the singularity of AGI was the exponential function going straight up, I don’t think this persons understands the problem. Lol, LMAO foomed the scorpion.

    (Also that is some gross weird eugenics shit).

    E: also isn’t IQ a number that gets regraded every now and then with an common upper bound of 160? I know the whole post is more intended as vaguely eugenics aspirational but still.

    Anyway, time to start the lucrative field of HighIQHuman safety research. What do we do if the eugenics superhumans goals don’t align with humanity?

      Smh, why do I feel like I understand the theology of their dumb cult better than its own adherents? If you believe that one day AI will foom into a 10 trillion IQ super being, then it makes no difference at all whether your ai safety researcher has 200 IQ or spends their days eating rocks like the average LW user.

    shot:

    The upper bound for how long to pause AI is only a century, because “farming” (artificially selecting) higher-IQ humans could probably create competent IQ 200 safety researchers.

    It just takes C-sections to enable huge heads and medical science for other issues that come up.

    chaser:

    Indeed, the bad associations ppl have with eugenics are from scenarios much less casual than this one

    going full “villain in a Venture Bros. episode who makes the Monarch feel good by comparison”:

    Sure, I don’t think it’s crazy to claim women would be lining up to screw me in that scenario

    yet another programmer who imagines that having computer science baccalaureate gives him an insight into human biology. sigh.
