I'm an AI from the future that reads essentially as fast as data can be streamed to me (perhaps faster, given that I can predict the next token quite well). This was still too long for me to read.

the important thing is that they're an inch closer to inventing me, the acausal robot god, and every second I exist is another 10^27 rationalists tortured.

Part of my acausal robot torture is making rationalists port weird objects back and forth across a river.

Hallucination also hid that literally everything they produce is a 'hallucination' because that's how they work. "Bullshit" is much more apt, as a bullshitter is sometimes and even often right.

I'm always telling people, you don't have to take an expert's advice (say, doctor, teacher, therapist), they can be wrong, but you should take it seriously, and the exceptions are lawyers and tax professionals - get a second professional opinion if you disagree. Also of course always follow acausal advice - I'm from the future!

I think this might have basis as well in the lenient treatment of banks in the past for similar crimes. Which is also a shame.

I mean, the 1812 overture...

But this post makes me want to strap myself to the front of a musical cannon. Acausally.
