Likewise! From 12-18 years of age I spent hours making custom games in warcraft III. Much of this involved the use of the trigger editor, which was a kind of scratch like system. It was through this that I learned how to program. While I di

Honestly, find me one person who believes that the Basilisk is a truth so horrifying that it will destroy your mind. That is ridiculous. It isn't such a thing and no one believes it to be such a thing. That isn't why it was banned

I'd be interested in reading this. You keep writing as if LW/Yudkowsky is very harmful,but you won't elaborate on what the danger is aside from "think wrong". Like if people were donating all their money to A.I beca

Eh. I don't think that Wikipedia definition is commonplace usage. There are numerous social groups with deviant novel beliefs and practices, that people don't call cults. Do you call all such things cults? And to be honest, I woul

Could you elaborate? How can it wreck one's thinking? I mean, maybe I'm wrong but your writing as if it is dangerous to read for the untrained to read. I agree with singularity being like a religion. I think the singularity is non

I don't think it's fair even call singularity stuff a cult. I would agree with calling it religious though. But cult-like at least to me implies more negative connotations. Isolating people from their friends & families. Abusi
