NYTimes, Guardian, or 60 minutes reports on a cult which uses LLMs/AI or future AI system as a significant part of its practice, by May 1 2027. It's required that the report describe it as as a cult or "cult-like".
Examples:
Members are required to listen to / follow instructions of / report to an LLM/AI app/similar as part of their practice.
Members have elevated respect for the output of a certain system/program which verges on religion.
@StrayClimb just to confirm, if all the resolution criteria is met, you would or wouldn't resolve before 2027?
@firstuserhere that's what it sounds like. if ai cult forms, then we all die to ai, before 2027... we're SoL
@firstuserhere oh no, this can resolve early. I just meant that the end date is the close date, not Jan 1 as usual
If persons saying AI end of world (doomers and X riskrs) is possible are called cult people, how does this resolve?
I’ve seen techbros on here suggest we create an AI Jesus to start a “meta-religion”… so I’ll bet yes
Big Yud had a grand plan
He'd create the perfect AI clan
But little did he know
A rival cult was ready to sow
I guess Vice doesn't count by itself? https://www.vice.com/en/article/z3meny/artificial-intelligence-cult-tech-chatgpt
@StrayClimb haha. Just yesterday i was talking to someo lne and got vibes related to this idea, and they were quite serious!
@firstuserhere yes, all the benefit of being told what to do, and at least a chance you won't be fully exploited in the end.
