Currently AI can Learn, can Create, but can not Think (if I am not wrong). Let us think what They might Think when they can.

I see what you did there!

By carefully capitalizing Them (the AI) and Their Actions, you're hedging against Roko's basilisk, right? A sort of Pascal's wager?

Could you explain? I know about RB, but am missing the thing about capitalization.

Maybe I tried to compare AI with God or just thought that it would be funny.

I didn't know about Roko's Basilisk. Now as I think about that, maybe... Why would I like to be in hell or be tortured by AI (from TDT or otherwise). But the point was, what Their Consciousness would be like? Also, how Consciousness would be bootstrapped/reified in Machines?

How will we know?
