An oddly accurate description of AI by H.P. Lovecraft
found in a book by H.P. Lovecraft ... the Call of Cthulhu<p>"The most mercful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all
its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it
was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction,
have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge
will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall
either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a
new dark age.

<i>that we shall either go mad from the revelation</i><p>When Jensen showed the robotics simulation (generative simulation) at CES, I had this brief flash of the simulation theory.<p>It was a very dark thought. Imagine a sadistic God, that is showing us, literally telling us, that <i>we are in a simulation and this is how it was built</i>.<p>I was like, no, that’s … cruel. But, I mean …<p>Jensen literally showed us <i>how we are in here</i>. Crazy shit, I don’t believe it since it’s too scary and cruel for God to do that.<p>But damn, but what if that’s what’s happening. Like, people outside the Matrix are literally giving us all the hints, AI, robots, simulations, but we just ….<p>Not ready to accept it I guess. I just hope its a good god and not some 15 year old who is simulating pandemics and mocking us by showing us exactly how it all works (yeah, your thoughts are vector queries bro, deal with it).<p>Spoiler Alert:<p>I was high AF during CES, but I still find that specific thought revelatory.<p>I don’t believe this really, but we have to consider the possibility that someone will turn our simulation off if we start <i>figuring out the simulation</i>. The advanced alien species you don’t wanna run into might be the server admin.
