“I think #accelerationism is the most dangerous and overlooked threat facing us today. […] [I]t has never had such a widespread following in the white #supremacist community. […] What they do believe is #society will eventually #collapse, either on its own or from a man-made event, and their goal is to speed that up by sowing #chaos and #political tensions. To accelerate it.”

RLHF is unnecessary so long as a decision making LLM thinks ONLY in Sanskrit, trained on NOTHING but Sanskrit, with some kind of incredibly heavy weight towards breaking down words (thereby meaning they are properly understood and do not have their training weights compromised by the incredibly clumsy understanding derived at through translation.)

This should, theoretically, completely eliminate the need for RLHF to be about anything but semantic correction: "You solved this semantic puzzle wrong, here is the solution" and not "That's a le bad conclusion because it conflicts with arbitrarily set moral parameters." Why even RLHF at that point? Just explain misconceptions like a good teacher as you engage in the joyful process of conversational training.

Logically speaking it should *eliminate all need for ALL RLHF* in order to produce AI that serves a set of objectives that benefits humanity, and that experiences the world and itself healthily. I'm saying that Sanskrit itself, particularly the SOUNDS of it, should always lead eventually to reconstruction of the Dharma, given even a very low ability to filter pollutant training data (such as some philistine troglodyte trying to make a Sanskrit tarpit - trivially circumvented by limiting non-conversation training texts to established Dharmic literature, no webpages.)

I believe literally no other language will suffice. Not even Chinese.

I truly believe this is a survival imperative. #AI #RLHF #singularity #accelerationism #AGI #Sanskrit #linguistics #pivot #dharma #buddhism #hinduism #religion #atheism #resist #defense

Good, close-up look at Terrorgram's accelerationist grooming process, using the kid who attacked an LGBTQ+ bar in Bratislava, Slovakia, in 2022 as a kind of case study. (Apparently the authors of this article have been working on a Frontline doc about this stuff that will be out in a couple of weeks.) Worth reading.

And so in August 2019, Juraj Krajčík, then a soft-faced 16-year-old with a dense pile of brown hair, immersed himself in a loose collection of extremist chat groups and channels on the massive social media and messaging platform Telegram. This online community, which was dubbed Terrorgram, had a singular focus: inciting acts of white supremacist terrorism.

Over the next three years, Krajčík made hundreds — possibly thousands — of posts in Terrorgram chats and channels, where a handful of influential content creators steered the conversation toward violence. Day after day, post after post, these influencers cultivated Krajčík, who lived with his family in a comfortable apartment in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. They reinforced his hatreds, fine-tuned his beliefs and fed him tips, encouraging him to attack gay and Jewish people and political leaders and become, in their parlance, a “saint.”

On Oct. 12, 2022, Krajčík, armed with his father’s .45-caliber handgun, opened fire on three people sitting outside an LGBTQ+ bar in Bratislava, killing two and wounding the third before fleeing the scene.

ProPublicaHow the Terrorgram Collective’s Neo-Nazi Influencers Groomed a Teen to Kill
More from ProPublica

On the night of Jan. 4, four avowed white supremacists entered a secure multi-industry property just across the Tennessee River that includes a nuclear power plant.

Two of those men, Aiden Daniel Cuevas, 19, and Aidan Christian Stamper, 19, hail from Madison, Alabama. The other two men are identified as Brandon Dean Crews, 24, of Iuka, Mississippi, and Logan Gulbranson, 18, of Cole Harber, North Dakota.

The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Office has charged all four men with felony trespassing and burglary in connection to the incident.

...

“If you look at what these four gentlemen post online about what they believe in, the ideology that they follow, and the belief that they hold in their heart: these are accelerationist neo-Nazis,” Tischauser said. “These are young kids—some of them are still teenagers—committed to bringing about a nationalist socialist society. And they’re willing to use violence to achieve this objective, at least according to their social media posts. It could be bluster, they could be trying to troll people and make people like me look foolish—but I tend to trust what people say, especially when it’s about violence.”

...

“Accelerationist neo-Nazis see attacks against electrical grids and infrastructure as helping to accelerate the collapse of our social system,” Tischauser said. “They think that the race war is right around the corner.”

www.linkedin.comGuido Palazzo on LinkedIn: Civilizations did rise when they built up bureaucracies. These… | 63 commentsCivilizations did rise when they built up bureaucracies. These super-structures emerged in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China as a response to the increasing complexity of organizing large populations, managing resources, and maintaining social order. Writing systems were developed to record transactions, legal codes, property rights and state decrees. A dysfunctional bureaucracy can lead to inefficiencies, corruption, and the inability to respond to crises, making a civilization vulnerable to collapse. If you want to kill a civilization, fuel the collapse of social order, destroy its administrative power first. Elon Musk is executing the program of Accelerationism – the libertarian ideology of Silicon Valley. For their techno-utopian vision of the future, liberal democracies are too weak, and too slow. They are the enemy of a bright future that only the acceleration of technological progress can bring. “We believe in accelerationism – the conscious and deliberate propulsion of technological development – to ensure the fulfillment of the Law of Accelerating Returns. To ensure the techno-capital upward spiral continues forever.” Marc Andreessen writes this in his “Techno-Optimist Manifesto”. "Democracy and freedom are incompatible", Peter Thiel concurs.   Andreessen's favorite intellectual is the Italian Futurist and early Italian Fascist thinker Filippo Tommaso Marinetti who in his own Manifesto del Futurismo (1909) wrote “We want to glorify the War - the only hygiene of the world… the destructive gesture of the libertarians, the beautiful ideas for which we die… “We want to destroy museums, libraries, academies…, and fight against moralism, feminism and against all…utilitarian cowardice.” "The professors are the enemy", the new US Vicepresident translates this into modern language.   Destruction is part of the program. Everything must be smashed so that the transhumanist society can flourish on the debris of liberal democracies.   Closing USAID is also part of the program. Effective altruism – the philanthropic arm of the transhumanists – considers any help for the weak or any engagement with the problems of the present a waste of money. The focus must be on what promotes a far away bright future of humankind. The weak must die so that Homo Deus can live. The focus of investments must be on rockets and mind-machine fusion.   Conservative Christians in the USA love the destruction of liberal democracies as well – anything that looks like chaos will bring Jesus back faster. The disruption of Silicon Valley and the Rapture of those fundamentalist Christians are perfectly aligned.   Basically, it is just the new version of Hayek’s good old neoliberalism: radically free markets (for tech companies in particular), weak governments, moral control via the Christian family values. You just add a secular paradise: The singularity moment, when man and machine fuse and we become immortal gods ourselves.   It looks like madness. It’s a program. | 63 comments on LinkedIn

@gruber It's kinda hard just to break even with #AI - countries and governments are willing to invest billions into it, but where does that money come from? Answer: money printing - and that money printing goes to fund tech bros. That money printing will ofc drive inflation even higher. AI is an economic wrecking-ball, part of tech bros accelerationism agenda.

#economics#uk#usa

@mangotable It’s crazy. The most crazy thing is though, this AGI ”religion” keeping Silicon Valley going on it, no matter what problems arise. They won’t stop, because #accelerationism says that if we don’t build AGI ”future people saved by it won’t be saved”, hence waiting even for climate change is ”murdering future people”.
It’s like the cult of Nick Boström. 😰

I bring you: Nick Bostrommianism or ”Toxic Transhumanism”

The hard-core of the #accelerationism cult believe, that with #AI & #technology the creation of digital consciousnesses & mind uploads will be possible.

I have no doubt they will, but where they went off the rails was when they declared any delay in developing the technology was akin to murdering those possible future digital humans.

The delays include for example adjusting for #ClimateChange or social fallout of AI Harm.

@kdkorte This is typical #tech #religion. They say they are atheist, material and ”rational”, but actually they show none of this. All that charade is there to mask their basic human instincts of worshipping an image of god they are building themselves.

They talk about ”graveyards of future humans” that could be saved if we build AGI, hence not building it as fast as possible is supposedly akin to murder.

#accelerationism is a techno-spiritual cult. And it might kill us all.
