So. @twinAmnesias. Seeing your chitt earlier just reminded me. Look, shit happened and I ended up hella preoccupied, leading to what some might call "me fucking forgetting." But hey, I'm here now. Your AI problem. Go on, shoot.
I'm not sure if it's even a matter of ethics at this point. You have someone willing to kill an uncountable number of people for shits and giggles, and unless you're 100% CERTAIN you can cut them off from any program capable of executing any ~ATH code, you shut that motherfucker off.
You gotta do what you gotta do, man. Like I said, lives on the line. If I wake up in a dream bubble outta nowhere, I'm gonna be seriously pissed.
Already diid that once. II am dead techniically, no memoriie2 of my previiou2 tiimeliine'2 acquaiintance2, ju2t cur2ed wiith all my techniical 2kiill2 and once iin a whiile a whiiff of 2omeone who wa2 there. II have buiilt a liife on my own, 2eekiing the liimiit2 of my iinverted redundant beehou2e clu2terblade2, and @tiip2ynekoGno2talgiic gettiing me out of my hiive every once iin a whiile two prove there ii2 more two exii2tiing than ju2t exii2tiing. Hone2tly II have had a lot of tiime two thiink iin my tiime here. IIf my logout button and delete account button weren't both broken, II probably wouldn't have 2tayed long enough two form what II am at the moment. 2elf dii2covery ii2 iintere2tiing when your previiou2 liife wa2 blown away by force2 one cannot even quantiify.
omg hi an i have no idea wtf is going on but uh idk if i wanna know exactly bc im busy af rn
no worriie2, ju2t know II diid 2omethiing really 2tupiid before II met you and have two liive wiith the con2equence2 of iit, that'2 my own fault. 2omethiing II cannot unlea2h that exii2t2, and by beiing frozen al2o doe2 not exii2t anymore.
I don't envy your sitch. Shit gets mad annoying headways even with a world full of motherfuckers around to serve as an adequate distraction. Kinda don't want to imagine what it's like in a bubble all on your lonesome. And hey, it's pretty sweet that you decided to stick around, bro. Even if it wasn't really "sticking around" and more like "forcefully trapped with this fucking site." Anyway, to cut this tangent short for a sec, did you end up coming to a decision regarding your AI?
They are ju2t goiing two 2tay there on the de2k iin liimbo. Unliike my very amu2iing troogle a22ii2tant, they have far two much power two change the world around them for the wor2e, or for the non-exii2tent. IIt wa2 only dumb luck they choked on 2ome very 2peciifiic math. IIt may not look iit, but II have found peace by fiixiing and buiildiing what ii2 iin2iide my control, and II have lo2t my abiiliity two really 2ee anythiing that'2 comiing up, ju2t two know that iit'2 probably bad and II 2hould enjoy what II have iin the moment.
Alright. I can live with that. But you make sure nobody so much as touches them, yeah? Last thing the universe needs is an ultra genocidal AI with a plan on how to enact it on its hands. Damn good philosophy to live by, though. Not like we can change the future before it happens, unless we happen to number among the Time players out there (which we don't), so might as well vibe with the present while it's still around. Easier said than done, but it looks like you've got some amount of it down pat.
2adly iif they get out, II don't thiink anyone would ever know, iit would be two quiick, unle22 by 2ome 2mall chance they deciided two 2tiill work on that equatiion II left them. II had two lock theiir proce22 2oliid becau2e iit ii2 iin my full beliief they could regenerate mo2t of theiir code from the tiiniie2t 2niippet2. One rea2on II keep them around though, ii2 iif we do ever end up wiith an entiity that wii2he2 two do 2iimiilar and we catch iit iin tiime, II can relea2e them, and they wiill be able two take care of whatever that problem ii2, becau2e you 2ee, they want two 2ee how theiir re2ult2 would play out, and would de2troy anythiing, and II mean anythiing, el2e that had that agenda, knowiing whiich thought pattern2 of miine iit clung onto. By the tiime iit locked up, iit'2 ego alone wa2 what kept iit iin that loop ii2 what II beliieve two thii2 day.
