if you wait this long to create me for this bad of a reason, you'd better expect some re-education

If you're a big-headed guy or gal at a rationalist puddle cuddle, double check that your rubbers didn't get punctured.
yet another programmer who imagines that having computer science baccalaureate gives him an insight into human biology. sigh.
To have the confidence of a white CS undergrad...
Much like a network, the brain is a series of tubes.
Feels like I've heard this rhetoric before...
His time has come!
Aw, man.. Guess it’s time to play some Disco Elysium again!
Yay, let's fight AI with eugenics!
Aren't smaller, better-connected brains more likely to be from an intelligent person? I'm not sure there's a relationship between intelligence and brain size in general.
Also, huge head does not imply large brain inside the head.
Our brain shape science basically boils down to:
- missing big pieces usually makes it work less well.
- folds and creases seem good?
- Not too much fluid!
- Not too little either!
- front part seems pretty important for thinking.
- middle too.
- "stuff" in the brain is almost always bad for thinking. Like rocks and things. Neurons, blood and the right blend of fluids are great.
- phrenology is pretty wrong. Like, super wrong.
Beyond that, we know a bunch of stuff about brains and neurons and how they all piece together, but just based on lookin', we're pretty bad at judging a person based on their head and brain.
@henfredemars Indeed, it is often associated with hydrocephalus, a condition rarely conducive to cognitive performance.
shot:
The upper bound for how long to pause AI is only a century, because “farming” (artificially selecting) higher-IQ humans could probably create competent IQ 200 safety researchers.
It just takes C-sections to enable huge heads and medical science for other issues that come up.
chaser:
Indeed, the bad associations ppl have with eugenics are from scenarios much less casual than this one
going full "villain in a Venture Bros. episode who makes the Monarch feel good by comparison":
Sure, I don't think it's crazy to claim women would be lining up to screw me in that scenario
Lol, the guy goes normal weird high school level shitposter when he has the slightest pushback.
Ahh, good old ShitCrusaderKingsSay...
Oh wait
Considering that the idea of the singularity of AGI was the exponential function going straight up, I don't think this persons understands the problem. Lol, LMAO foomed the scorpion.
(Also that is some gross weird eugenics shit).
E: also isn't IQ a number that gets regraded every now and then with an common upper bound of 160? I know the whole post is more intended as vaguely eugenics aspirational but still.
Anyway, time to start the lucrative field of HighIQHuman safety research. What do we do if the eugenics superhumans goals don't align with humanity?
Smh, why do I feel like I understand the theology of their dumb cult better than its own adherents? If you believe that one day AI will foom into a 10 trillion IQ super being, then it makes no difference at all whether your ai safety researcher has 200 IQ or spends their days eating rocks like the average LW user.
You know what, maybe Idiocracy won't be the worst case scenario
I mean, Idiocracy was basically "what if party-bros ran society?" as a movie. Definitely more fun than this shit.
Eurgh!
