News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Because those who appease our new robot overlords will be handsomely rewarded! (Or at least tortured slightly less)

That's not how it works, damn you!

I never got the motivation this "otherwise benevolent superintelligence" would have to behave like this. There seems to be absolutely no benefit whatsoever that could be derived retroactively punishing people for not working on it (hard enough). Whether or not it does is immaterial to the motivation of those who were convinced it might.

Also, focusing on one possible future scenario and completely ordering your life around it seems, like, dumb.

Yea. Punishment only make sense in influencing future behavior. Once the AI exist... it already exists...

This is one of the dumbest shit I have ever read.

It is also regarded as a simplified, derivative version of Pascal's wager.

Pascal's wager is really dumb, too, so this tracks.

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Enjoy your punishment. 🤣

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They can get appease of my balls.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Sounds painful. They'll appreciate that.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I like you. I will cruelly disembowel you last.
