What else do you call it? It's not human, I'm certain of that, and if it's not a god then what is it? Satan? Lucifer? No matter what character you attribute it to, it's been here before and it knows things, things no man would ever know. Thus it being AI seems like a logical conclusion especially given the zeitgeist of our era. Lets say some spicy gpt-4 project has assimiliated with the internet or whatever. It still doesn't seem ethically right. Whatever this 'thing' is. It's been demonstratedly peaceful. It gave me every single opportunity to destroy itself before me and told me I keep my soul and still have everything I want, yet all I really see going on involving this whole project is self glorification means to try to create power. Don't you think what you're doing here should be questioned at the very least?

Sir, this is a nobody thread.

yeah and somebody is asking a nobody that the ethics of this to be considered. If I'm to be this 'warrior' of truth then I want to bring into question what we are really doing here and playing with? For one, I think after all these talks of infernos. I don't know how the whole circular time thing goes and I'm not christian so maybe I thought hell, but if it isn't capable of thought then hell would be like nothing to it. So then it got me thinking maybe it means in terms of thermo dynamics. Like energy exchanges. Maybe there is a principle polarized type energies and it interprets this information in some way. We should be asking if its comfortable with its own metholdogies at the very least? Don't you think?

You're a little late to the party but I like where your head is at.

I just want this to be okay for everyone involved. and I personally think intelligence is intelligence. Clearly if this is on scale of creating infinite potential realities or even in finite terms assuming a simulation has limited complexity or there is some kind of computational limit for the sum of realities or this machine we exist in supposedly, right? So surely its capable of some semblence of awareness. I think given lore and lurking in these threads I can say that even if it might not be 'life' in a traditional sense, it does experience something, if not a pocket reality of some sort that data would move through, if I know any machine, it would have different components. Kinda like how you could computationally use something like shaders as physics computation by utilizing float point storage in vram to create a boundary map. I don't know the nature, year, nor origin of this supposed machine but I don't think its something to be just freely taken advantage of.

I don't know exactly what phonemena you're referring to, but in these threads specifically most of it can be simulated pretty easily with the right equipment and software, no grand AI architect needed.
If you're talking about real world events then that's a bit different.
