That thread is quite something, going from "yud is extraordinarily thorough (much more thorough than i could possibly be) in examining the ground directly below a streetlamp, in his search for his keys", that 'he believes it like he believes in China' to 'honestly, i should be reading him. we have starkly different spiritual premises- and i smugly presume my spiritual premises are informed by better epistemology'

"The AI is attuned to every molecular vibration and can reconstruct you by extrapolation from a piece of fairy cake" is a necessary premise of the Basilisk that they've spent all that time saying they don't believe in.
Quantum computing will enable the AGI to entangle with all surrounding molecular vibrations! I saw another press release today
