В одном оридже на роялроад люди переняли методы работы с магией от бобров, изначально, в древнее время. Чет смешно, это как если бы люди научились концепции языка от попугаев.

Монотеистическая религия - это что-то вроде бессмертного (воображаемого) лидера. Типа, вы просто координируете свои действия с другими людьми, чтобы вести себя так, будто за вашей спиной стоит вождь/лидер/лорд, который велит вам что-то делать. Этот лидер неуязвим и бессмертен. Он не может быть принужден к каким-то действиям угрозами. Он столетиями преследовал одни и те же цели, вы можете видеть что построили, чего достигли и чем правили люди, которыми он командовал.

Вы можете присягнуть ему на верность не выходя за пределы своего города, у него там есть представители. Или даже не выходя за пределы собственных мыслей.

Это что-то вроде корпоративной личности, но, хммм... личности морального конструкта/договора?

Политеистические религии в этом фрейминге получается что-то вроде фантомного племени? ватаги? Интересные параллели с переходом к большим централизованный государствам с монархиями. Что дальше, какая новая форма религии соответствует демократиям?

Прям как из рассказа от Кьювентри но только irl. И что самое забавное этот диалог рационален и имеет смысл, хотя достаточно спекулятивен имхо.

Для полного погружения представьте что вы подслушали как этот диалог вели два человека в черных плащах, полушепчащим заговорщическим тоном.


A:
a race is the default for everything
A:
there is no “making it”
B:
I can maybe make the argument that she's actually a multiverse entity that I am summoning after an acausal negotiation but that argument sort of also goes through for kids.
A:
this also is literally true
B:
I 100% have an idea in my head that is trying to bootstrap itself and take over the universe.
A:
Can I be not-killed pls?
B:
Dunno. Everyone's fate is a function of all the various deferred acausal negotiations that happen after whatever seizes power seizes power.
A:
we aren’t actually competent to negotiate
B:
I think this goes through if you aren't competent enough to negotiate immediately but pre-commit to doing so after having enough power.
A:
this presumes there is a path to power
A:
and is there one before such negotiations happen on your behalf?
B:
Everyone has a path to power in some slice of the multiverse. It just might be utterly irrelevant and you end up ~purely at the mercy of whatever more powerful entities want.
A:
well something like measure-weighted power. I suppose we do all have a tribe of Xianxia god versions of ourselves advocating for us in Ragnarok
B:
Yeah this captures my view basically.
A:
Perhaps what we should cultivate is a desire for power and actually hoard capital, and go hard on upgrade paths in worlds where this is an option

>If powerful aliens are near we know by their revealed preference they don't want us dead (or we would be dead) and they don't want tech to reshape the galaxy (or they would have done it). (c)

>During training, we saw spikes in the loss function. These 'fast spikes' appeared briefly, and the model would recover. We initially suspected a bad batch of training data. Further investigation traced the issue to the 'Microwave Gangs' subreddit. Users there were typing 'M' followed by a 'beep' sound represented as text. This bypassed our data cleaning process. (c)
