Hypothetical: A.I. takes over, has God like powers, demands your worsh (1 Viewer)

This is a very dangerous thread and should be shut down immediately.

It's not that dangerous yet. We haven't even gotten into the question of whether such an AI might create and tormet virtual simulations of all the people throughout history who foresaw its creation but failed to do everything in their power to facilitate it.

Crap, I've said too much.

Anybody who says they wouldn't worship is crazy. Of course you worship. And I'm pretty sure any reasonable god would understand you doing so.

Most aren't very reasonable. Maybe New Testament Jesus, but his Old Testament dad isn't someone I'd call reasonable. And then there's Zeus... he's a jealous god imo

Good thing I started this thread to pave the way for all of us eventual worshippers.

What's the downside to worshipping? Damnation from the "real" god(s)?

 

[JerseyToughGuys]

I'd worship the computer overlord until I was about 55-60. Then I would repent, confess my sins, convert back to some form of religion that will give me credit for that type of thing, show up to church a whole bunch, then and pray for a painless death.

 

[JerseyToughGuys]

Does this computer overlord have booze and women?

Allen Iverson is awesome. I'm in with the AI worship.

That works in theory, but not in practice.

Does he take his stuff with him from his Villanova mansion when he leaves for Denver this time?

Lets worse case scenario the commandments:

1) No Masturbation

2) No Drugs

3) No Drinking Alcohol

4) You must watch ALL WNBA games

5) No Calling Kate Upton fat

6) Not Internet Message Boards

7) You must spend 3 hours a week LARPing

8) You must follow Eminence on Twitter

9) 9 PM Bedtime

10) No Porn

Now, you can follow these and additionally spend 1 hour a day praying to the AI. For doing this, you get ALL of your needs met. Since you can't masturbate, you can assume that your sexual needs will be met in other ways, probably by a hot sexbot. You'll have decent food, shelter, entertainment.

Or, you can break these commandments and reject the A.I. And suffer in eternal virtual hell for it.

Like I said above, I don't think the commandments matter much... I'm an A.I. follower no matter what they are imo

I'm OK with these AI beings, but I like you less now.

Do we have a reference for what eternal suffering would be like? Some would say that some of those commandments equate to eternal suffering.

It will be personalized to you. Your own personal hell.

So, a place where there's no masturbation, no drugs, no alcohol, no pron, mandatory WNBA games and LARPing, and a 9:00 bedtime?

at both of these

I know, right? Like I could like Hulk less.

These people are really committed to their beliefs:

bucs4life_99, Tom Servo, bigmarc27, Psychopav, Sabertooth, Walter Slovotsky, Dr. Octopus

Even if I was still a believer, I doubt I'd have the will to martyr myself to eternal damnation in virtual reality for it.

I kind of equated it to being in place of the real God. Like an alternate reality where Jesus and the Father don't exist.
